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, 7 of the Top 8 DK scorers in the Bank of America 500 started 11th or worse.

Let’s take a look at how the drivers did fantasy-wise in the 2015 Bank of America 500 in the DraftKings scoring system.
