NASCAR DFS Pit Stop: Xfinity Series from Martinsville 10/31/20

Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Saturday afternoon’s Xfinity Series race from Martinsville Speedway! Like with the Truck Series race on Friday night, this is the last race before the Championship race next week at Phoenix. Only Chase Briscoe ($11,500) has clinched his spot in the final race so there are 7 drivers vying for the final 3 spots in the finale at Phoenix. We will be seeing these teams employing a lot of different strategies to try and get the win, but also get the two transfer spots that don’t win.

NASCAR DFS: Dominators

AJ Allmendinger ($12,500)

Starting Position: 37th

Allmendinger is the chalk play on this slate and because of that I can understanding fading him in GPP’s, but in cash you kind of have no choice but to roster him. Allmendinger is typically a road course/superspeedway driver but he will try his hand at short track racing for only the 3rd time in the Xfinity Series. AJ does have two good finishes in his previous 2 races, 10th and 14th, and I like his chances of another top 15 on Saturday

As far as the rest of this price tier goes, I will have exposure to many of these drivers because they all have a lot to race for. Below are my rankings for these drivers on Saturday’s race:

1. Noah Gragson ($10,000) – After losing the lead on the last lap, and subsequently his guaranteed spot in the finale, Gragson will want to get out front early and win this race.
2. Austin Cindric ($11,100) – If Gragson can’t get passed Cindric early, he could lead a good portion of this race and potentially win.
3. Chase Briscoe ($11,500) – Briscoe doesn’t need to win, but that doesn’t mean he won’t try to. Offers minimal PD upside as well starting 5th
4. Justin Allgaier ($10,700) – This is the 1st Xfinity race here since 2006 so Allgaier has never raced here, but he does own 4 short track victories elsewhere.
5. Harrison Burton ($10,300) – Burton isn’t a playoff driver but he could still have a good day. Seven career short track races, six top 10’s four top 5’s

NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier

Riley Herbst ($9,100)

Starting Position: 24th

Herbst has not had a good run of late with three finishes of 30th or worse, but his equipment is too good to keep having these types of finishes. While Herbst has not raced too many short track races in the Xfinity Series, he does have a good track record at short tracks in the ARCA Series. Herbst has nine top 10 finishes in 18 races and owns an average finish of 10.4.

Ryan Sieg ($8,100)

Starting Position: 9th

Ryan Sieg comes into Saturday’s race with three top 5 finishes in his last five races. Sieg has not been great at short tracks in his career but for GPP’s I really like the top 5 upside for Sieg. I anticipate Sieg being one of the lowest owned drivers

Other Options: Justin Haley ($9,400), Brett Moffitt ($7,800) , Jeremy Clements ($7,800)

NASCAR DFS: Value Tier Rankings

1. JJ Yeley – $6,000 – P39
2. Stefan Parsons – $6,200 – P36
3. Myatt Snider – $7,100 – P22
4. Jeffrey Earnhardt – $5,200 – P20
5. Colby Howard – $5,700 – P27
6. Joe Graf Jr. – $5,600 – P25
7. BJ McLeod – $6,700 – P29
