Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for the NASCAR Cup Series. Below you will find my rankings for the drivers in this race.
I am going to try something different for tonight’s race. Instead of the usual driver rankings list, I will give out four different categories of drivers and a little snippet breaking down how to play each group.
(Starting position in parenthesis)
(All pricing is for DK)
Lock:
Chris Buescher (29) – $9.1K
Buescher is a talented road course racer and should end up as the pace differential play on this slate. Since 2022, Buescher has finished in the top 10 in 13 of 16 road course races and has an average finish of 8.3. In the two ROVAL races since 2022, Buescher has finished top 10 in both and has an average finish of 6.5.
Top Finishing Plays:
- Shane van Gisbergen (1) – $10.3K
- Kyle Larson (6) – $10.2K
- AJ Allmendinger (3) – $10K
- Tyler Reddick (2) – $9.3K
My plan is to roster at least two of these drivers with Buescher in all lineups.
