FanDuel is the largest daily fantasy sports provider in the world currently. Where is the fantasy NASCAR? The short answer is that they do not offer fantasy NASCAR games as of now.
FanDuel NASCAR – What Gives? Can I Play?
Via twitter they say to contact their customer support for full details why they do not currently offer NASCAR as a sport.
However, there is speculation there that FanDuel is going to be offering NASCAR contests soon. Unlike golf, they do not explicitly say via twitter that they do not feel that the contests are legal so there is some possibility that they may at some point soon offer NASCAR fantasy FanDuel games.
However, with the announcement yesterday of DraftKings fantasy NASCAR games for real money, and the official partnership deal between the two (NASCAR and DraftKings), the question becomes even more cloudy.
No NASCAR at FanDuel Currently (Just DraftKings)

This is my speculation about NASCAR races from FanDuel.
They could feel that they are in a legal gray area and don’t want to risk it (like why FanDuel golf doesn’t exit).
Or it could be because it appears DK and NASCAR have signed a three year deal for them to develop their fantasy games.
Could it be because their legal team feels like it may violate the rule of ‘one game’ ?
Yep, “maybe”.

Could it be because NASCAR has just named DraftKings as their “Official Daily Fantasy Sports Partner”?
