NASCAR Xfinity DFS: Xfinity Series Championship

This article is part of our NASCAR DFS series.

Xfinity Series Championship

Championship weekend is here! John Hunter Nemechek, Justin Allgaier, Cole Custer and Sam Mayer will battle it out for the Championship in the Xfinity Series on Saturday. John Hunter Nemechek is the favorite per sportsbook odds, followed by Justin Allgaier, Cole Custer, then Sam Mayer. Earlier in the season when we came to Phoenix, the best finish of the Championship Four was John Hunter in 6th as he and Justin Allgaier both led around twenty laps in that race.

With the way pricing is, the only way you are going to be able to jam two of the Championship Four in a lineup is if you skip most of the mid range and go straight to the $7,000 range after you pick two. Depending on the two you pick, you will likely need multiple $6,000 drivers as well. As of now I would rather pick my favorite then fill out a more balanced lineup with cars I think have top 10-15 upside. Hemric has always been good here including a 2021 Championship. Myatt Snider is again in the No. 19 car for Joe Gibbs where he ran decently last week when he finished 15th. I think he has more upside than most in this price range. Brett Moffitt has four straight top 15s at Phoenix including a 13th this spring. Jeb Burton has been pretty strong all year and if he starts towards the back will be a great place differential play, much like last week. Kyle Weatherman has been 17th and 14th in his last two Phoenix starts and gives you some salary relief.
