Draft Update #3​

Third Round Picks
17th: Cole Custer | 18th: Matt DiBenedetto | 19th: William Byron | 20th: Ross Chastain | 21st: A.J. Allmendinger |
22nd: Christopher Bell | 23rd: Austin Dillon | 24th: Ryan Ellis

Fourth Round Picks:
25th: Timmy Hill | 26th: Austin Cindric | 27th: Justin Allgaier | 28th: Daniel Hemric | 29th: Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. |
30th: Justin Haley | 31st: Chris Buescher | 32nd: Tyler Reddick

After four rounds a total of nine Cup Series drivers on full time schedules remain available on the draft board - as well as four drivers with a limited schedule. As it stands some of the more established Xfinity Series drivers are starting to be drafted, whilst no driver exclusively running in the Truck Series has yet to be selected. With everyone still have six more picks, you have to wonder what spread players will have of their driver choices over the three competitions.

The Xfinity Series 2020 Final Four have now all been selected. Briscoe was the first to go 15th overall (Round 2) before Cindric 26th, Allgaier 27th and Haley 30th would all by selected in Round Four with Allgaier being the only driver who remains exclusively in Xfnity with Cindric and Haley registered for a number of races in the Cup in 2021. ​

Draft Update #4​

Five Round Picks
33rd: Erik Jones | 34th: Ryan Sieg | 35th: Harrison Burton | 36th: Jeb Burton | 37th: Sheldon Creed | 38th: Dale Earnhardt, Jr. |
39th: Sam Mayer | 40th: Josh Williams

Six Round Picks
41st: Hailie Deegan | 42nd: Brett Moffit | 43rd: Matt Crafton | 44th: Grant Enfinger | 45th: Zane Smith | 46th: Austin Hill |
47th: Michael Annett | 48th: Brandon Jones

After the fifth and sixth picks have now been made - we now analyse how picks have been split over the three competitions. Drivers are placed into the competitions where they are scheduled to do the most amount of racing. After six picks half of the field have drafted 4 Cup Drivers and 2 Xfinity Drivers (Haza, Juice, Nimrod & Chris).

Southerner has gone for an even spilt drafting two drivers from each series holding a 2/2/2 split.

Lethal Banks claimed 3 Cup drivers, 2 Xfinity Drivers and 1 Truck Driver.

Blaze in unconventional means has focused primarily on the Xfinity Series with 4 drivers be drafted from the competition, with a remaining 2 in the Cup Series. (although two drivers in the Xfinity do have limited schedule in the Cup).

LadyHotRod claimed 2 in the Cup, 3 in Xfinity and One in the Truck series.

With four selections left each - you have to wonder if selections will be based on the expectation to achieve high finishes or on the basis of taking part in more races.

In the first Nascar Cup Series race of the season at Daytona - when the chequered flag was waved, twenty-two cars were classified as 'Running' and are therefore eligible for final position points.

For clarification the status of the car by Nascar on their official race result must be 'Running' to be eligible for fantasy points. This means that Logano, Keselowski, Busch, Cindric, and Wallace may have completely more laps - but in this competition they must be considering as 'Running' to earn these points.
