DraftKings NASCAR Talladega Picks and Projections

This weekend's DraftKings NASCAR Talladega picks and projections article will be a bit different than most weeks, and that's because I've added some new things to the article. Because of the nature of Talladega, it's very hard to give accurate picks and projections (the best statistical models can only give a prediction accuracy in the 0.15 R-squared range for finishing position), so I'm introducing a new feature that uses logistic regression to model the probability that a driver ends up with a top six and a top 10 score for this weekend's DraftKings NASCAR Talladega slate. This gives us a bit more information when deciding if a driver makes a worthy play or not. For all the strategy talk about Talladega, make sure to check out this week's NASCAR episode of On the Daily DFS, where Matt and I discuss DraftKings NASCAR Talladega strategy for a good solid 40 minutes. Be sure to read all the way to the end of this article, as On the Daily DFS is running a FREE DraftKings contest to win some swag from NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Landon Cassill (@landoncassill).
