NASCAR DFS Pit Stop: Xfinity Series 7/18/20

Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Saturday, July 18 Xfinity Series from Fort Worth, Texas! I would also like to welcome you to $17,000 Kyle Busch chalk day! If you are in the WinDailySports Discord channel you saw me mention that we are playing Kyle in the Xfinity and Truck series this weekend even though he is priced WAY up. I will go into detail in a minute. We have a 200 lap race here with 150 dominator points available and I expect the majority of them to be split between two drivers, keep reading to find out who.

Texas Motor Speedway will run similar to what we saw in Kentucky last week with only one real groove on the track so the teams with the best equipment will be the ones we want to target. Obviously we have salary restrictions and cannot get all the top teams in but DraftKings priced the slate in a way that makes it easier to build good lineups with Kyle Busch’s salary.

NASCAR DFS: Dominators

Kyle Busch ($17,000)

Starting Position: 28th

Is Kyle Busch expensive? Yes. Is he worth paying up for? Also, yes. I know it seems like a steep price to pay, but with Kyle starting 28th and being the best driver in this race he will make value. I have no doubt about that (unless he gets wrecked coming through the field) and with his starting position being so far back we can get a top 5 finish from Kyle without dominator points and he’ll still make value. Even though I say we don’t need dominator point from Busch, we will get them as I think he leads the majority of the second half of this race.

Chase Briscoe ($11,300)

Starting Position: 12th

If you are making multiple lineups and want to fade Kyle in any of them, Briscoe is my favorite play after him. Briscoe has 5 wins on the season with 2 of them coming on 1.5-mile tracks. In his seven 1.5-mile races this season, Briscoe also has four top 5’s, six top 10’s, and an average finish of 6.3. Starting in the 12th spot we get the next best place differential after Kyle Busch with Chase Briscoe as well.

Austin Cindric ($10,800)

Starting Position: 3rd

Here is other dominator I mentioned in the open who I think leads the beginning part of this race. Cindric has dominated at 1.5-mile tracks this season and swept both races last week in Kentucky in dominating fashion. This season Cindric has led nearly 400 laps on mile and a half tracks and has 240 fastest laps. I will be pairing Cindric in lineups with Busch in them to try and maximize as many dominator points as I can.

Other Options: Noah Gragson ($10,400)

NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier

Anthony Alfredo ($8,300)

Starting Position: 10th

We will need to focus more on the value tier to fit Kyle Busch into our lineups but if you have the salary to fit Alfredo in, he is a good choice. Anthony Alfredo has been in 5 races at 1.5-mile tracks this season with four of those resulting in top 10 finishes. Alfredo has some great equipment in his RCR Chevy with the team that one back to back Xfinity Series championships in 2018 and 19.

Justin Haley ($8,100)

Starting Position: 11th

Haley is my favorite play in this tier especially since he is starting outside the top 10 and DraftKings dropped his price this week from $9.5K last week. In his last eight races, Haley has four top 5 finishes including a win at Talladega back in June. Haley has a top 5 car seeming every week over the last 4 races and I think another top 5 will happen on Saturday.

Other Options: Brandon Jones ($9,100), Jeremy Clements ($8,700), Tommy Joe Martins ($7,500)

NASCAR DFS: Value Tier Rankings

we are going to live in this tier this weekend, but luckily we have a plethora of options, with Brett Moffitt ($7,100), Ryan Sieg ($6,500), and Colby Howard ($5,700). Moffitt is the riskiest play, making him the best GPP value play and Howard is my favorite value play overall. In his last 6 races, Howard has 5 finishes of 21st or better with four of them being inside the top 20.

Value Tier Rankings:

1. Colby Howard ($5,700 – P35)
2. Brett Moffitt ($7,100 – P15)
3. Ryan Sieg ($6,500 – P18)
4. Jesse Little ($5,200 – P30)
5. Stefan Parsons ($4,800 – P26)
6. Kyle Weatherman ($5,100 – P33)
7. Josh Williams ($6,400 – P24)
