The 2025 Cook Out 400 takes place on Sunday as the seventh race of the NASCAR Cup Series season. There are top options in the NASCAR DFS driver pool that may surprise you as non-winners so far season. Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott and Denny Hamlin haven’t exited a race victorious, but all three have been consistent enough to be in the top 10 of the current NASCAR Cup Series standings, so should you include them in 2025 Cook Out 400 NASCAR DFS lineups?
Hamlin has won multiple races in six straight years, but he has no NASCAR Cup Series titles to show for it. Still, he has won more races (five) at Martinsville than anyone available for NASCAR DFS picks and that’s not just due to a large number of starts. Hamlin also has the second-best average finish of anyone running on Sunday, so how should he factor into forming your 2025 NASCAR at Martinsville DFS strategy? Before locking in any NASCAR DFS picks for the Cook Out 400 2025 on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to check out the optimal NASCAR at Martinsville DFS strategy and advice from SportsLine’s Mike McClure.
McClure has won over $2 million in his career as a daily Fantasy pro, and his NASCAR DFS driver pool, projections and advice can help you score a big win on Sunday on sites like FanDuel and DraftKings.
McClure’s model began its 2025 season by calling Chase Elliott to win for a +300 payout at the Clash at Bowman Gray and was also high on Byron as a +2000 longshot at Daytona. Then last week it predicted Kyle Larson’s win in Miami for a +350 payout. In 2024, it nailed Larson to win in Las Vegas for a 21-5 sports betting payout and predicted Denny Hamlin’s wins in Bristol at 5-1 and Richmond at 17-4.
It also impressively nailed five of Larson’s wins during his historic season in 2021. All told, the model has nailed a whopping 20 winners since 2021, including nine in 2023 and three in the first seven races last season. Anyone who followed its lead on betting apps and sportsbooks on those NASCAR picks could have seen huge returns.
Now, he’s turned his attention to Sunday’s Cook Out 400. He’s only sharing his picks and NASCAR DFS driver pool here.
Top 2025 Cook Out 400 NASCAR DFS picks
For NASCAR at Martinsville, McClure is high on Chase Elliott ($9,900 on DraftKings and $12,000 on FanDuel). Elliott entered Miami with three straight top-10 results before finishing 18th last week. But he’s still sixth in the NASCAR Cup Series standings, including having the third-most points for any driver without a victory, and that’s due to avoiding disastrous results. Elliott has finished in the top 20 in all six Cup Series races this year.
Elliott has the fourth-best average finish (12.1) of anyone in Sunday’s Cook Out 400 driver pool who has run multiple races at Martinsville Speedway. Much like the consistency he’s shown this season, the 29-year-old has finished in the top 20 in each of his last six NASCAR at Martinsville events over the last three years, with five top-10 results over that span. McClure views Elliott as a high-floor asset to aid NASCAR DFS lineups.
Part of McClure’s optimal NASCAR DFS strategy also includes rostering Joey Logano ($9,600 on DraftKings and $11,500 on FanDuel). The defending Cup Series champion is off to an uncharacteristically slow start, finishing outside the top 10 in each of his first six races this season. A return to Martinsville could be exactly what he needs to change that as Logano has 11 straight top-10 finishes at Martinsville Speedway, including finishing second in the 2023 spring race. He has the second-best average finish (5.2) over the last three years at the speedway.
Logano’s lack of success this year has dropped his price for NASCAR DFS lineups as he’s priced below drivers he’s often higher than. McClure sees value in the three-time Cup Series champion at a reduced price at a track he’s run well at lately. See which other drivers to roster here.
How to set 2025 NASCAR at Martinsville DFS lineups
McClure is also targeting an undervalued driver set to return plenty of value for his NASCAR DFS picks. He’s in a prime position to make a run at the checkered flag and comes at a price that won’t break the bank. You can see who it is, and every other pick, right here.
So what are the top NASCAR DFS picks for NASCAR at Martinsville 2025? And which value driver is a must-roster? Visit SportsLine now to see DFS millionaire Mike McClure’s complete driver pool for DraftKings and FanDuel, for a chance to cash in big on NASCAR DFS.

Denílson vê torcida sem paciência no Brasil: “Vaiam com 10 minutos”
Denílson, em discurso no Fechamento SporTV (Reprodução) Denílson, em análise envolvendo o Vasco, quis destacar uma situação atrelada à torcida do clube. Levando em conta que o último título de peso ocorreu em 2011, o ex-jogador vê os cruz-maltinos cada vez mais “calejados” com o clube. Neste cenário, embora o apoio em São Januário seja constante, Fábio Carille, demitido pela diretoria, sentiu de perto a forte pressão pela falta de um desempenho satisfatório. “O torcedor está desgastado com o Vasco. Eles são apaixonados e querem ver o clube jogando sempre bem. Eu não tô errado na minha leitura em relação ao sentimento do torcedor vascaíno, né? Eu assistindo de casa, o time é vaiado pelos torcedores no aquecimento.”, disse Denílson, no Fechamento SporTV.

Hradec přetáhl z Liberce kanadského obránce Melancona
„T.J. patří mezi prověřené a velmi kvalitní ofenzívní extraligové obránce a jsme přesvědčeni, že nám pomůže nahradit odcházející obránce a zlepšit produktivitu našeho mužstva, zejména v přesilových hrách. Jsme rádi, že i přes více extraligových nabídek si vybral právě náš klub,“ uvedl pro web Mountfieldu generální manažer Aleš Kmoníček.Melanconův bodový výkaz je velmi podobný s tím, který měl jeho krajan Blain. Jenže 33letý Blain letos vinou zranění odehrál jen devět zápasů a s Mountfieldem se rozloučil. Ani Melancon letošní ročník neodehrál kompletní, je ale o pět let mladší a ve 42 zápasech zaznamenal slušných 25 bodů (4+19).„Je v nejlepším hokejovém věku, skvěle zapadne do našeho herního systému. Věřím, že pomůže zlepšit produktivitu týmu, a to nejen na přesilovce,“ dodal kouč Hradce Králové Tomáš Martinec.Melancon si v extralize poprvé vyzkouší jiný celek než Liberec. Rodák z kanadské Oshawy předtím působil v Nových Zámcích na Slovensku, kam se přesunul z Ameriky. Za oceánem to dotáhl nejdál do AHL, kde […]
Uspěla na pekle severu, nyní chce Italka ovládnout orlovskou Gracii
Pro 26letou cyklistku bude závod Gracia Orlová, jenž startuje 1. května v Orlové na Karvinsku a po pěti etapách na stejném místě o čtyři dny později i skončí, prvním etapovým závodem letošní sezony. Na sever Moravy cestuje po senzačním druhém místě v závodě pro svou značnou obtížnost zvaném Peklo severu. Borghesiová z týmu EF Education-Oatly zaostala na francouzských silnicích za vítěznou Pauline Ferrandovou-Prévotovou o necelou minutu.„Klasika Paříž–Roubaix byla mým hlavním cílem sezony. Ten závod miluju a bylo neuvěřitelné stát na stupních vítězů. Je to brutální závod, jede se naplno od startu až do cíle, ale právě to mám ráda. Jsem moc šťastná, že jsem dokázala zaútočit v závěru a vydržela až do cíle,“ vrátila se k populárnímu jarnímu monumentu Borghesiová.České silnice, na nichž hned v úvodní etapě do Štramberka okusí i české dlažební kostky, otestuje poprvé v kariéře. „Slyšela jsem, že Gracia je to opravdu krásný závod, který nabízí různorodé profily etap, časovku a také nádhernou […]
Federal judge tosses NIL lawsuit against NCAA brought by ex-college basketball players
<!--> A federal judge dismissed an antitrust lawsuit Monday that had been brought against the NCAA by several former college basketball players, including Kansas standout Mario Chalmers, after ruling its claims fell outside the four-year statute of limitations.The lawsuit, which included 16 total players who played before June 16, 2016, claimed that the NCAA had enriched itself by utilizing their names, images and likenesses to promote its men's basketball tournament.
