The 2024 Enjoy Illinois 300 on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET is another opportunity for veterans in the NASCAR DFS driver pool to secure a spot in the playoffs with a victory. Martin Truex Jr., Ryan Blaney and Kyle Busch are three of the most accomplished drivers without a victory yet this season, so how should that affect your NASCAR DFS strategy? Will these drivers begin to take more chances and drive aggressively to win, or will they feel secure with just earning more points to climb up the NASCAR Cup Series standings at NASCAR at Gateway?
Ty Gibbs, just 21 years old, is seventh in the NASCAR Cup Series standings, but he's still chasing his first NASCAR Cup Series victory in his third season. Gibbs finished sixth last year and won the NASCAR All-Star Open Race to qualify for the main event, so is he someone to use in NASCAR DFS picks or Fantasy NASCAR lineups?

Top 2024 Enjoy Illinois 300 DFS picks, lineup advice
One of McClure's top NASCAR at Gateway DFS picks is Martin Truex Jr. ($10,500 on DraftKings and $13,000 on FanDuel). Truex is second in the NASCAR Cup Series standings despite not recording a victory this season. Truex finished 12th in back-to-back races and has finished 12th or better in 11 of 15 starts this season.
NASCAR at Gateway has led to the best average finish of any track for Truex, at 5.5 over two races. Truex, who won three races last year, has the third-best average finish (10.3) of his 21-year career this year and despite his lack of a victory, he is doing some of the best driving of his career. McClure expects another finish near the top for Truex, and possibly the first victory of the year for the 43-year-old driver with 34 career victories.You can see the rest of McClure's Enjoy Illinois 300 DFS picks at SportsLine.
Top 2024 Enjoy Illinois 300 Fantasy NASCAR rankings, projections
One sleeper McClure is targeting in his 2024 Enjoy Illinois 300 Fantasy lineups is Tyler Reddick. He is an 11-1 longshot to win the Enjoy Illinois 300, but the model projects him to make a run at the title. Reddick finished fourth at NASCAR at Charlotte last weekend for his third finish of fourth or better over his last seven races. The 28-year-old won the GEICO 500 on April 21 for the sixth victory of his NASCAR career and he's now won at least one race in each of the last three seasons. Reddick has five top-five finishes this season with only three drivers having more than him, each of them with six top-five showings.
Reddick was in the top 10 at last year's NASCAR at Gateway before crashing into the wall for a second time, leading to an accident and him finishing 35th. Reddick finished 16th at the Enjoy Illinois 300 in 2022 so although the final finishes don't show it, he's had strong moments at Gateway Motorsports Park. The 28-year-old is currently sixth in the NASCAR Cup Series standings after finishing sixth last year and he's an under-the-radar option for McClure in NASCAR Fantasy picks for the 2024 Enjoy Illinois 300.You can see the rest of McClure's Enjoy Illinois 300 Fantasy NASCAR picks at SportsLine.
