Pearce Dietrich helps you build your DraftKings Pick6 pick sets for the NASCAR Cup Series Jack Links 500 at Talladega.
The NASCAR Cup Series Jack Links 500 at Talladega is on Sunday, and DraftKings is offering a new way to play fantasy NASCAR. The game is simple. Build a “Pick Set” (2+ drivers) and decide if they will outperform their stat projections. Here is some advice to help build your DraftKings Pick6 Pick Sets for the NASCAR Cup Series Jack Links 500 at Talladega.
Reddick has already won two plate races in 2026 — Daytona and Atlanta — and has collected five top fives across 24 Gen 7 superspeedway starts. Talladega is a special place for 23XI Racing. Reddick’s 2024 Talladega win was the team’s first win with Michael Jordan in attendance. The 23XI organization has built genuine superspeedway credibility around this car.
The house set him at 12.5 despite the fact that he is the points leader and the most proven plate track winner in the field this season. Five wins in 10 races adds a momentum layer the historical data cannot fully capture. The projection is conservative and the 2026 results say so plainly.
The superspeedway laps led record among active Gen 7 drivers belongs to Logano — 670 across 24 starts — with two wins and five top fives backing it up. The house has him projected at 14.5, which is a conservative number for a driver who leads laps at this track more consistently than almost anyone in the field. Starting 25th gives him place differential upside the projection does not account for.
Talladega rewards drivers who can find the draft and move through the field, and Logano has done exactly that more than any active driver in the Gen 7 era. The laps led history and the two superspeedway wins say the ceiling here is well above 14.5. The market is underestimating what this driver does at this track.
Hamlin starts third and the house projected him at 12.5, which seems reasonable on paper — but his last four superspeedway finishes of 23rd, 25th, 31st and 24th tell a different story. The front-running capability is real, with 132 superspeedway laps led across 24 Gen 7 starts, but none of that lap time has been converting into results lately.
Talladega does not care about track position at the start — the pack reshuffles constantly and a single wrong-place moment ends a day that started third. The recent superspeedway survival pattern is the honest concern, and a projected finish of 12.5 for a driver who has not finished inside the top 25 in his last four superspeedway starts is a number worth fading.

Pick6 is a peer-to-peer fantasy variant where you build a lineup (your “Pick Set”) of 2+ players and select whether you believe each will outperform their listed stat projection. Enter your Pick Set in Pick6 contests to compete against other users. Get enough picks correct and win a share of cash prizes.
Create a Pick Set by choosing 2+ players from the same sport and Pick Group (a set of picks available from a group of set competitions). For each player, simply select if you think they’ll have more or less than their listed stat projection. In each Pick Set, you can not pick the same player twice and you must pick players from at least two different teams.
Once you finalize your Pick Set, choose your entry fee amount. Your entries will be automatically distributed into available contests, subject to your confirmation.
When the games go live, use the My Picks tab to follow your picks in real time to track how your players are performing against their projections and how they stack up against other users.
Make enough correct picks and win a share of the contests’ guaranteed prizes. Any prizes won will be credited to your DraftKings account after contests are finalized.
