"COTA NASCAR Race Day: Picks, Highlights, and Larson's Xfinity Series Win"

The upcoming EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas (COTA) marks the first road-course race of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Season, with stage break cautions reintroduced, impacting DFS strategy. The focus will be on finishing position and place differential due to the limited dominator points available over 68 laps. Recommended DFS picks include Kyle Larson, Shane van Gisbergen, A.J. Allmendinger for cash games, and Ty Gibbs, Tyler Reddick, William Byron for tournaments. Additionally, Kyle Busch and Austin Cindric are suggested as potential pivots, while Ryan Preece is highlighted as an overlooked, budget-friendly pick.
