Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Sunday afternoon’s Truck Series race from Darlington Raceway. This is first time since 2011 that the Truck series will be racing at Darlington. There are only a few drivers in this race who have a raced a truck at this track, including Johnny Sauter ($11,000) and Matt Crafton ($9,300). Neither of them have had much success here, and only Crafton has led any laps (4) at Darlington. We can use Homestead as a comparable track for Darlington since they both run similar high grooves.
NASCAR DFS: Dominators
Christian Eckes ($10,600)
Starting Position: 17th
Eckes has not had a great run of late, but he does have 3 second place finishes in his last 6 races. Earlier this season Eckes did finish 8th at Homestead and led 40 laps at that race. We will need a similar performance to that from Homestead to make value, and I think he can pull it out. Starting 17th, Eckes does offer some good place differential upside which gives me hope he will get the points we need.
David Ragan ($9,700)
Starting Position : 34th
Ragan is running his first Truck Series race since the 2006 season and will be in the Rick Ware #17 truck. I think Ragan is priced appropriately for his ability and where he is starting in the field. Ragan is possibly the top point per dollar play on the slate, with the possible exception of someone in the next price tier. I will have plenty of Ragan exposure on Sunday.
Other Options: Johnny Sauter ($11,000), Sheldon Creed ($10,100)
NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier
Matt Crafton ($9,300)
Starting Position: 10th
Crafton has the most experience at Darlington in a truck and has also had some success here as well. In 6 races here, Crafton has four top 10 finishes, and one top 5. Crafton is one of the most experienced drivers in the field and has the most experience of any driver in this race at Darlington.
Greg Biffle ($8,100)
Starting Position: 20th
Greg Biffle is my favorite point per dollar play on this slate that I mentioned in my Ragan breakdown. Biffle will be in the #24 GMS Chevy that has been one of the best trucks in the field week after week. Sam Mayer drove this truck to a 4th place finish last weekend after leading a good portion late in the race. My pick to win this race is Greg Biffle and I will have plenty of Biffle exposure on Sunday
Other Options: Zane Smith ($9,500), Brett Moffitt ($8,900), Trevor Bayne ($7,600)
