Daily Fantasy NASCAR DraftKings Forecast: 2021 Quaker State 400 at Atlanta
July 10, 2021
The NASCAR Cup Series returns to Atlanta Motor Speedway for the second time this season, the first year the racetrack has hosted two Cup events since 2010. Let’s get your daily fantasy NASCAR DraftKings rosters ready for the Quaker State 400, airing on Sunday, July 11 at 3:30 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network.
Atlanta is an abrasive track that causes tires to wear down quickly, so a repave was inevitable. However, the speedway will do a bit more than that for next year’s races. In case you missed it, Atlanta announced that it will not only repave the track after this weekend’s events, but also add banking and narrow the racing surface. Sunday’s Cup race will be the final one on this configuration, which definitely affects daily fantasy next year. For now, let’s focus on this weekend and wait to see how the Next Gen car performs on 1.5-mile courses or tracks with higher banking.
