NASCAR DFS Projections: Goodyear 400 – Darlington Raceway
The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Darlington Raceway and we turn back time with some throwback paint schemes this weekend. This is the kind of track where drivers like Kyle Larson and Tyler Reddick should thrive as we detailed in this week's NASCAR DFS Playbook. But we cannot sleep on previous Darlington winners like William Byron and Denny Hamlin. Also, don't sleep on Ryan Blaney. Could the car blow up again? Sure, but he had the fastest car at Homestead just two weeks ago.
I've made some adjustments to this week's projections and going forward I will publish the NASCAR DFS Projections as their own article so they're easy to find for you all. Let's take a look at the top NASCAR DFS Picks for the Goodyear 400!
For Sunday's race we have you covered top-to-bottom with everything you need:
- NASCAR DFS Playbook for the Goodyear 400
- Goodyear 400 Best Bets courtesy of Ed Raus
- NASCAR DFS Hot Pass Video: Goodyear 400
I'll also be in Discord for any last-minute questions leading up to roster lock!

Vargas will be on the track during the August 6, 2022 NASCAR Xfinity Series race. His car displays the Experience Jackson logo, with a white, blue and neon green design. His racing career has spanned a decade, winning the NASCAR stock and late model divisions, including the 2015 NASCAR Super Stock Rookie of the Year at the Bullring at LVMS. Ryan was the recipient of the 2016 and 2017 Wendell Scott Trailblazer Award. His NASCAR Xfinity Series career started in 2019.
DGM Racing and Mason Massey introduce a first-time sponsor to the NASCAR Xfinity Series. PRO-SET® Epoxy (PRO-SET) will serve as the primary partner of the #91 Chevrolet Camaro in the New Holland 250 at Michigan Intâ??l Speedway (MIS) this weekend.
Heading into this weekend, Massey is ready to build on his recent success in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Just a few weeks ago, Massey claimed his second Top-10 finish (ninth) of the season (and his career) at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Massey was also awarded for gaining the most spots during the race (+21 positions); he became the 15th driver this year to earn the Arrowhead Brass â??Arrow Upâ? Hard Charger Award. In 13 starts with DGM Racing, Massey has added to his driver resumé two Top 10 and four Top-20 finishes, surpassing the three Top-20s he earned in the previous 23 races he competed in.
Tom and TJ Keen of Keen Parts (CorvetteParts.net) announced that they will run a special Autism Awareness paint scheme in this weekâ??s NASCAR Xfinity Series New Holland 250 at Michigan Int'l Speedway with driver Ryan Ellis and Alpha Prime Racing.
The scheme was thought of by the family of former NHL Player and Stanley Cup Champion Chris Thorburn and his wife Sara. Their three children, Bennett, Mary, and Oscar created the hand-drawn colorful scheme aimed at raising autism awareness. Bennett, an avid-NASCAR fan, was diagnosed with autism at the age of four and learned number recognition and counting through race cars. Since then, the Thorburn family has been attending races in Michigan for several years. Mary and Oscar, as always, were by Bennettâ??s side, assisting him with the scheme â?? writing, â??Autism Lives Matter, Be a Friendâ?, powerful words that will be represented on the lower quarter panel and bumper of the No. 44 Keen Parts Chevy.

Additionally, Circle B Diecast will make their 2nd appearance in 2022 as associate sponsor. Plus, The Runnerâ??s Roost out of Orchard Park, NY, will make their XFINITY Series debut as associate sponsor as well. â??How cool is this car!
