WTR Fam! Welcome to another edition of Race Day Strategies, covering the Truck Series and Xfinity Series from a DFS strategy perspective. In this article, we will lay out past trends from previous relevant races, show the winning lineups for the flagship GPPs of those races, and give a high-level look at possible lineup construction based on this info and track type.
If you have not done so already, I would encourage you to read our NASCAR DFS Strategy Primer as this article will often piggyback on the strategies mentioned there. I will also say, as I mentioned in our primer, that these strategies are meant to be guardrails and not rules that are set in stone. Practice and Qualifying play a crucial role in dictating final strategy and builds. As this article is released mid-week, we encourage all members to check out our Discord for more discussions on strategy after the results of practice and qualifying are known.
Without further delay, let’s dive into New Hampshire!

Winning Flagship GPP Lineups
Lineup Construction Strategy
General Thoughts
- Toyota won 7 of last 8 Xfinity races here (2022 Allgaier)
- Fairly difficult track to pass
Cash
- Qualifying-dependent
- Top Dominator
- Chalk Place Differential, if any
- Don’t be afraid of drivers with less Place Differential upside, but high Finishing Position upside
Tournaments
- Top Dominator a must
- 1 or 2 secondary dominators as well, if able
- Don’t be afraid to use 2 punts
- Attrition has been high last two races
That’s all for this edition of Raceday Strategies for the Xfinity Series! I hope this helps everyone with their mindset as we approach building lineups for the Xfinity Series races this weekend! One last time, these are high-level guardrails and not set-in-stone rules. We will have much more discussion in Discord as we lead up to lineup lock for the race. Additionally, Ryan will be posting his Xfinity Projections for this week’s race! If you liked what you read or if you have feedback on how we can make this article better, please reach out to us. Good luck!
