Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Sunday afternoons Sunoco 159 from the Daytona Road Course. This is the first time the NASCAR Truck Series has been to this course, and only the second-ever race here (Saturday’s Xfinity Series). This is another low dominator point race with only 44 laps, so we are again looking for place differential plays and finishing position.
This race has a plethora of invaders who are road course experts with the majority of them priced up at the top. Like we saw on Saturday we can expect a lot of cautions and spin-outs leading to damaged trucks. After how I saw Saturday’s race play out I am recommending playing only GPP contests and also playing very light.
NASCAR DFS: Dominators
Like we had on Saturday, we have some drivers at the top price tier that are complete unknowns to the majority of casual race fans. Three of these drivers are priced right at the top and are all top plays on this slate. They will all be high owned because of where they start, but they as close to must play as possible. I would rank them, based on upside and road course expertise as follows:
- Alex Tagliani – $10,800 – P21 – Tagliani is a road course expert and is driving the KBM #51, the truck Kyle drives when he races in the series
- Mike Skeen – $10,200 – P38
- Kris Wright – $10,500 – P26
Parker Kligerman ($9,600)
Starting Position: 16th
Kligerman is another road course expert who is just below the three drivers mentioned above. Sunday’s field of drivers is not deep with great road course drivers so Kligerman is definitely someone we can see move up into the top 5.
NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier
Stewart Friesen ($8,800)
Starting Position: 22nd
Friesen hasn’t had the best luck of late, but he is an experienced driver who has had some decent luck on road courses. He has two top 10 finishes at the Canadian Tire road course, so he can definitely get around at these tracks. Friesen has place differential upside as well starting 22nd.
Raphael Lessard ($7,700)
Starting position: 10th
Lessard doesn’t have a ton of experience as a 19 year old rookie in the Truck Series. He does own a top 10 finish at the Canadian Tire Road Course though, so he has potential to finish well here. Lessard starts 10th, so upside is limited, but his price isn’t too high where he cant make value.
Other Options: Brett Moffitt ($9,300), Todd Gilliland ($8,200)
NASCAR DFS: Value Tier Rankings
- Bryan Collyer – $5,300 – P34
- Spencer Davis – $6,900 – P31
- Mark Smith – $4,800 – P35
- Roger Reuse – $5,000 – P37
- Bobby Kennedy $4,900 – P33
- Scott Lagasse Jr. – $6,400 – P30
