"With the popularity of daily fantasy sports at an all-time high, bringing the power of the DraftDay network to MyWinners.com customers was a logical next step," added Josh Tepper, General Manager of MyWinners.com. "We hope to provide our players with the same excitement and thrill that they enjoy with our racing content."
