These are our projections for every car entered at Gateway this weekend, one table per race, from 10,000 runs of each, locked Friday at 10:04 AM ET, before practice and qualifying. Each driver gets his projected finish, laps led and win chance, and for anyone who plays daily fantasy, his DraftKings salary and projected points. Justin Allgaier leads the O'Reilly table for Saturday's Nu Way 225, 7:30 PM ET on The CW, with a 30.5% win chance, more than double anyone else in that field. Denny Hamlin and Ryan Blaney both project to finish 5th in Sunday's Enjoy Illinois 300, the 2nd race of the Chase, 3:00 PM ET on USA Network. Hamlin's 17% win chance is the best of anyone entered. Practice and qualifying for both series run Saturday afternoon, O'Reilly at 1:00 PM ET on the CW app and Cup at 3:30 PM ET on truTV.
Saturday night: the O'Reilly Series
Sunday: the Cup Series
