Coca-Cola 600 and Monaco Grand Prix Preview
Memorial Day Weekend is upon us! That means it’s a MASSIVE racing day on Sunday, May 29th. The day starts with the F1 Monaco Grand Prix, followed by the Indy 500, and then the day is capped off with the Coca-Cola 600. More than 1300 miles of racing in one day. It’s that good! It’s not just a huge day for DFS and racing fans, but also for betting. The NASCAR schedule 2022 keeps on producing gold, so let's take a look at what's on tap for this upcoming weekend!
F1 Monaco Grand Prix Preview
In what is perhaps the most historic F1 race of the season, the tiny city-state on the coast of France plays host. It is one of the original road circuits and remains one of the toughest technical tracks on the schedule. The most important part of Monaco though, is Qualifying Saturday since the pole position has dominated the race the last several years. We will have full free F1 DFS coverage for the race giving you all of the top DFS plays for Captain spots, driver spots, and constructors.
Monaco GP Odds
Betting is a huge part of the Monaco GP and the best returns you can get odds-wise, come before qualifying happens. Because of that, we’ll have free Monaco GP bets on Pickswise on Friday! Not just winner bets either, prop bets and Monaco betting strategies as well. Right now the favorite is Monegasque Charles Leclerc (aka the hometown kid) but the odds will only change as Sunday gets closer and we could see Max Verstappen became the favorite.

The night cap, so to speak, of the Sunday race-a-thon is the longest race on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule. Held at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the home base of NASCAR, the 400 laps around the 1.5-mile Quad-Oval will test driver and teams to the limits. There’s been a lot made of the Goodyear tires having issues this year, expect there to be more of the same on Sunday night. Just like every week, we’ll have a weekly DFS NASCAR Podcast out early Thursday morning. Later Thursday comes the Track Breakdown with all of the track facts and DFS Strategy you need to start the week. Friday we’ll take the first crack at DFS Rankings for DraftKings and FanDuel and update Saturday after practice and qualifying. Then comes the NASCAR Playbook and projections and example lineups to finish out your DFS prep. If you’re wanting to play some PrizePicks or Underdog we’ll have picks for that too. All for FREE prior to green flag at 6:00 pm ET Sunday May 29th.
