Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for the Truck series for the final time in the 2020 season! It’s Championship Weekend this weekend and the first race and title that will be handed out is the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series Championship. Sheldon Creed, Zane Smith, Brett Moffitt, and Grant Enfinger will compete for the title on Friday night.
NASCAR DFS: Dominators
Sheldon Creed ($11,000)
Starting Position: 3rd
Sheldon Creed is my pick to win this race and in turn win the championship. Creed has dominated the majority of the second half of this season and should do the same Friday night. Creed has finished top two in five of the last 11 races, including three wins. I think that Creed is the best choice to get dominator points in Friday’s race. Over his last five races, Creed has led laps in each race for a total of 356 laps. I will have plenty of exposure to Creed on Friday.
Chandler Smith ($10,400)
Starting Position: 21st
We know Smith is great equipment driving the #51 KBM Toyota, and he offers great place differential upside. Smith has only run one race here, last season, and he finished 3rd after starting from the 6th position. Coming in to his last race (2 weeks ago in Texas), Smith had a string of four straight top 5 finishes but ended up 21st in Texas. I will be pairing Smith with Creed in at least one lineup on Friday for PD upside combined with dominator upside in Creed.
Other Options: Brett Moffitt ($10,700), Sam Mayer ($10,000), Zane Smith ($9,800)
NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier
Dylan Lupton ($9,400)
Starting Position: 32nd
Lupton has run two races this season in the #17 truck, finishing 14th and 8th in those races. I think we could get Lupton at a slightly low ownership because of his price, and while I wish he was a few hundred cheaper, I will not be fading Lupton at this price.
Ben Rhodes ($8,000)
Starting Position: 6th
Rhodes is a really good GPP play, and a solid pivot play off of Todd Gilliland ($8,200) who will be higher owned because of PD upside. If you play cash games, Gilliland might be safer, but I play GPP so I will be using Rhodes. Last season Rhodes led 47 laps at Phoenix and ended up in 4th. In five races at Phoenix, Rhodes has never finished lower than 20th( crash) and has two top 5 finishes.
Other Options: Grant Enfinger ($9,200), Johnny Sauter ($7,800)
