Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Saturday’s Truck Series race from Kansas Speedway! After a one week hiatus, the trucks head back to track this weekend with 134 laps of playoff racing. Matt Crafton ($9,000) won here in Kansas back in July of this season and will definitely be a contender again on Saturday. I really think Crafton is more a GPP play on Saturday where he starts in the 5th position and could be a low owned dominator in this race after leading 23 laps back in July.
NASCAR DFS: Dominators
Parker Kligerman ($11,100)
Starting Position: 35th
Kligerman is this weeks expensive chalk place differential play for cash games. Even though he is cash viable, that doesn’t mean we want to fade him in GPP’s. Kligerman could easily be the highest scoring driver in this race and we will want to have some exposure to that. At 1.5 mile tracks this season (2 races) Kligerman has two solid finishes inside the top 20, including a 10th place finish. We are hoping similar or better numbers thhis week.
Christian Eckes ($10,400)
Starting Position: 14th
I love Eckes for place differential upside like Kligerman, but with top 5 finishing potential. In July, Eckes finished 2nd behind Crafton here in the second of back to back Kansas races after finishing 13th in the first race.
Zane Smith ($10,100)
Starting Position: 9th
Zane Smith ran his two career races at Kansas earlier this season and came home with back to back top 10 finishes (6th and 9th) and will look for his 3rd top 10 finish at Kansas this season. Smith’s upside is limited because of his starting position but the GMS trucks are always fast at 1.5 mile tracks and I think there is potential for Smith to win this race on Saturday.
Other Options: Austin Hill ($10,700), Sheldon Creed ($9,900)
NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier
Derek Kraus ($8,200)
Starting Position: 12th
Kraus seemingly makes his way into these Truck Series articles weekly and with good reason. Over the last seven races in the series, Kraus has 5 finishes inside the top 15 including three top 10 finishes. Kraus also came home with two top 10 finishes in the Kansas double header earlier this season.
Tanner Gray ($8,000)
Starting Position: 19th
Gray is currently on a string of races where he finished 20th or better nine of eleven races. Included in that stretch was his 18th and then 4th place finishes here at Kansas Speedway back in July. There is plenty of place differential upside here with Gray as well making him my favorite play in this price tier this weekend.
Timothy Peters ($7,700)
Starting Position: 22nd
Peters is in Stewart Friesen’s #52 truck this weekend and should have a really fast truck. I really like Peter’s chances at a top 10 this weekend in this truck and his PD upside combined with his lower price makes him a great play in my eyes.
Other Options: Matt Crafton ($9,000), Ryan Truex ($7,600)
