Indy Brickyard 400 Fantasy Preview: Hamlin and Larson Lead a Track Where Strategy Rules

Indy’s Brickyard 400 is a 2.5-mile flat track where track position and minimal pit strategy dominate. The fantasy rankings lean heavily on Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson as top contenders, with Ty Gibbs as a solid third option, backed by Indy-specific history, strong speed rankings, and Pocono correlation. Starting position matters (top 11 wins in 10 of the last 11 races), and the piece emphasizes leveraging Indy practice speeds and projections (including DraftKings/FanDuel pricing and speed notes) to pick the rest of the field given the paywall sections.

Pocono Pulse: Hamlin extends Cup lead as Reddick, Byron shine and Preece, SVG, Logano stumble

Denny Hamlin stretched his Cup Regular Season lead with a third consecutive Pocono win, as Tyler Reddick rallied to second and William Byron secured third, signaling momentum ahead of back-to-back road-course races and the debut San Diego street course. Ross Chastain added a strong 8th-place finish on a non-drafting track, keeping the focus on the upcoming road-course swing. In the downturn, Ryan Preece finished 28th after a late fuel issue, Shane van Gisbergen wrecked to finish 31st, and Joey Logano ended 34th after Stage 2 damage, setting up a road-course-heavy stretch with 10 races left before the Chase field is set.
