Here are my DraftKings driver points and price/point predictions for today’s race at Fontana. To predict how many DraftKings points each driver will score today, I plugged my driver rankings for today’s race into my projection model, and Friday’s qualifying results. Then, to calculate each driver’s price/point, I simply divided each driver’s price by their predicted points.

The below table lists all drivers running today, and it’s sorted from lowest price/point to highest. If you’re on a small screen device, scroll the table horizontally with a finger drag to see all the columns.

More reading: Yesterday, using the below points projections, I posted optimized DraftKings lineups for Fontana.
