Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Saturday evening’s Xfinity Series Kansas Lottery 250 from Kansas Speedway. This race is the fourth and final race of the weekend at Kansas Speedway with the green flag scheduled to drop at 5:18 pm EDT. Saturday’s race is 250 miles, meaning we have 167 laps of racing. With this racing having 167 laps that means we will have 125.25 dominator points available to earn.
When building lineups I am looking to get 2-3 dominators in and finding value at the bottom. Unfortunately, the bottom tier does not give us much, so we will need to dig in and find that value to help us cash. There are two drivers, both in JRM Chevy’s, that start 10th and 11th that will be key to winning on Saturday because they will be the PD drivers of this race in the top price tier. Noah Gragson ($10,300) & Justin Allgaier ($10,600) are the drivers mentioned in the previous sentence and will be keys, albeit chalky keys, to winning some green on Saturday
NASCAR DFS: Dominators
This tier is simple, load up on the top 4 highest priced drivers and find value in other places. Both Austin Cindric ($11,200) and Chase Briscoe ($10,900) have been the hottest drivers in the series this season, Briscoe dominating earlier this season and Cindric currently dominating with 3 straight victories. You take these to drivers and add them with the aforementioned Gragson and Allgaier and this is where I am starting all my builds (with two of these drivers in each lineup).
Another driver with dominator potential for me is Ross Chastain ($10,000). Chastain ran the Truck Series race on Friday night so he has been on the track and has a feel for what he needs to do to run well. Ross Chastain leads all Xfinity drivers in top 10’s this season, a stat that surprised me when I saw it earlier. In 16 races in 2020, Chastain has 14 top 10 finishes, and six top 5’s. I think Chastain can be a sneaky low owned potential dominator on Saturday. I was able to build a lineup I am comfortable using with three dominators (Gragson/Allgaier/Chastain), so it is doable.
NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier
Myatt Snider ($9,200)
Starting Position: 33rd
Myatt Snider is having a very solid season as he splits his time between two teams. This week Snider is back in the #93, while Kaz Grala ($7,700) is in the 21 for RCR. Grala starts 3rd and could be a low owned GPP play in really good equipment. Snider is great at making green-flag passes as he has averaged 42.75 green flag passes per race over his last 8 races, including two races during which he made 75 green flag passes.
Brett Moffitt ($8,300)
Starting Position: 23rd
Moffitt, like the previously mentioned Chastain, ran the Truck race on Friday night and had a great performance finishing 2nd. Over his last 6 races, Moffitt has a top 5, three top 10’s and five top 20’s. With Moffitt starting 23rd and being priced the way his, allows us to roster him with 3 dominators and earn big PD points.
Colin Garrett ($7,600)
Starting Position: 37th
Garrett has only raced 4 times in the Xfinity Series this season, with a 21st and 14th place finishes sandwiched in between two finishes in the 30’s. I think Garrett has some the best upside as any driver in the field, and at his price, it won’t take much for him to hit 4-5X value.
Other Options: Brandon Jones ($9,400) Justin Haley ($9,000), Michael Annett ($7,900), Kaz Grala (GPP) ($7,700)
