The DraftKings system is unique and emphasizes both in-race performance as well as finishing position. In the DraftKings system it is paramount to target at least some drivers that start further back in the field yet can compete as a top-performing car. For example, the Top 11 DK scorers in the AAA 400 started outside the Top 10.
Let’s take a look at how the drivers did fantasy-wise in the 2015 AAA 400 in the DraftKings scoring system.
