Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Thursday night’s Truck Series race from Richmond Raceway. Richmond is a short track race which means we have a good amount of dominator points to be earned here. With 250 laps, we have 187.5 dominator points available on Thursday night and I will be trying to maximize those points. There are a few guys in the top tier that should lead a ton of laps on Thursday and we will want to find those plays to pair with our typical place differential plays to maximize our points. There is one driver I really like imparticular on Thursday for the win and dominator points, but you will need to read on to see who that is
NASCAR DFS: Dominators
Sheldon Creed ($11,500)
Starting Position: 12th
Creed is the highest priced driver on the slate Thursday night and rightfully so. In this last 4 races in the Truck Series, Creed has won half of those races. Ironically both of those Creed wins came with him starting outside the top 10, which is where he starts on Thursday. Creed is the top cash play on the slate, but will be in my lineups as well (I play GPP only if you didn’t already know)
Brett Moffitt ($9,600)
Starting Position: 4th
Moffitt is the driver I was talking about in the open. I think Moffitt could lead 100 laps on Thursday night and finally get his first win of the season. Moffitt has finished in the top 10 in five straight races as well as leading laps in 4 of those 5 races. Moffitt is my pick to win this race Thursday night and will be the drive I have the most exposure too
Other Options (listed in order of preference): Chandler Smith ($9,800), David Ragan ($10,400), Christian Eckes ($10,100)
NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier
Zane Smith ($9,000)
Starting Position: 9th
Zane Smith is one of the hottest drivers in the Truck series right after Sheldon Creed. In the last seven truck races, Smith has two wins, and five top 10’s. Smith has also led at least 45 laps in three of those seven races as well.
Sam Mayer ($8,800)
Starting Position: 25th
Mayer is the top place differential play on the slate for me. He ran well, including leading 24 laps at Gateway earlier this season and he should run similarly again on Thursday. Mayer has only run two Truck Series races this season, but he has finished no worse than 15th in either race, including 4th at Gateway.
Tyler Ankrum ($7,800)
Starting Position: 11th
Ankrum is one of the drivers on the bubble for the last playoff spot in this series and will try to push for the win I believe. Ankrum needs points so they will be taking chances in this race which means he is not safe for those playing cash games, he is purely a GPP only. In his last 5 races, Ankrum has not finished worse than 12th and has three top 10’s in that stretch. I know his upside is limited but he will be lower owned then most drivers around him in price.
Other Options: Todd Gilliland ($9,200), Grant Enfinger ($8,300), Trevor Bayne ($7,900)
