Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Sunday afternoon’s Truck series from World Wide Technology Raceway. Unlike what we saw Friday and Saturday night at Daytona, we won’t be seeing a similar style racing from the Trucks at Gateway.
NASCAR DFS: Dominators
Chandler Smith ($10,900)
Starting Position: 12th
Smith hasn’t been great in his three races this season in the #51, but he did have a great race here last season. In the 2019 version of this race Smith came home with a top 5 finish (4th) in a KBM truck after starting 25th. Smith has led laps in 2 of the 3 races he’s been in this season. I think that Sunday could be the day for Smith to finally break through.
Brett Moffitt ($10,00)
Starting Position: 2nd
Brett Moffitt has been of the best drivers in this series over the last 7 races but doesn’t have a win to show for it. Over those seven races, Moffitt has finished 6th or better in six, including two second place finishes. Moffitt doesn’t offer the PD upside that some of the other drivers in this tier do, but he has the best chance to dominate this race in my opinion. In the aforementioned 7 race span earlier, Moffitt has led laps in every race including leading 50 last week at Dover
Other Options: Sheldon Creed ($11,500) – I don’t love Creed’s price, but if you can make him fit and your comfortable doing so, go for it!, Austin Hill ($10,500)
NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier
Ben Rhodes ($9,200)
Starting Position: 5th
Ben Rhodes has quietly been one of the better DFS drivers of late. Rhodes has six top 10 finishes in his last 8 races and has not finished lower than 14th in any of those races. Unfortunately, Rhodes doesn’t lead too many laps so his upside is capped, but if he can get up front he could be one of the best GPP plays.
Derek Kraus ($8,200)
Starting Position: 10th
Kraus has never raced in the Truck series at Gateway, but he has been a very consistent driver this season, especially recently. Over his last 10 races in the Truck series, Kraus has at least 37 DKFP in 8 of those 10 races and is averaging 36.3 points per race over that 10 race span. With limited upside because of where he starts, Kraus is better of a s GPP play
Sam Mayer ($7,500)
Starting Position: 15th
Mayer is a 17 year old driver making his first venture into the Truck series this season. While he hasn’t run a race in this series at Gateway, he does have two 3rd place finishes here in the ARCA series, including Saturday nights race. Mayer is in the #24 GMS truck, so he has good equipment and I think a top 10 is a possibility for him on Sunday.
Other Options: Todd Gilliland ($9,000), Raphael Lessard ($8,000), Tanner Gray ($7,600)
