Alsco Uniforms 300
The west coast swing continues this weekend for NASCAR as all three major series take track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Saturday the Xfinity series will go 300 miles across 200 laps. Cup regular Kyle Busch will make one of his Xfinity starts this weekend in his hometown and will likely be the decision of the slate.

As always, I like to include a strategy portion to this article and not just give you my favorite plays. At this track you are going to want two, possibly three dominators in your GPP lineups. In both races last year we saw two drivers lead over 50 laps and there was one more in both that got to 30. It's always important after we go to Daytona to switch your mindset early in the season to make sure you prioritize the dominators in your lineup and don't just jam in all place differential plays. Again, if you haven't checked out my strategy article, be sure to do so.

As I mentioned, the decision on Kyle Busch will determine your builds for the week. As of now I lean toward making lineups without him, solely based on price. Over the years, I have usually jammed him in when he is priced way up in the Truck Series, but I just think there are too many good cars and drivers in this field that paying $13,500 hurts my build too much. I will instead opt for the JR Motorsports trio of Josh Berry, Sam Mayer, and Justin Allgaier. I plan to mix and match them as my main dominators for the weekend. You may have noticed above, but this is one of Josh Berry's favorite tracks on the circuit. He has two wins and all four of his starts have been top sevens. Sam Mayer led here some last year in the spring, before running into some trouble. Allgaier has been very steady over the years at this place too and it just sets the weekend up for JR Motorsports domination.
Daniel Hemric could spoil the party as he has three top-three finishes here in his last five starts and all of those are top tens. Brett Moffitt had a strong top ten run in Fontana last week and I like him to follow that up with a good run here at a track he has four top fifteens in five starts. Anthony Alfredo is a guy I end up backing a lot and this week will likely be no different. He was seventeenth and tenth here a year ago and while I'm not a big fan of his equipment, switching over to BJ McLeod Motorsports this year, it was encouraging to see a top twenty run out of him in Fontana. Lastly, we go right back to the well on Jeremy Clements who always seems to run inside the top fifteen, we just need to hope starts outside the top twenty to really go heavy on him this week.
