Matt Vecchio 
Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop Xfinity series for the final time in the 2020 season! It’s Championship Weekend and the second championship we will see handed out is the Xfinity Series trophy Saturday afternoon. Chase Briscoe, Justin Allgaier, Austin Cindric, and Justin Haley will all compete on Saturday to see who is crowned champion at the end of the day. Since 2015 three of the five champions won the final race to take the title, including Tyler Reddick the previous two seasons. Odds are that whoever wins the title, will win this race on Saturday. In 2020 the four drivers in the Championship 4 have combined to win 20 of 32 races this season. I will be rostering at least 2 of the 4 in every one of my lineups on Saturday with Chase Briscoe probably being my highest owned driver.
NASCAR DFS: Dominators
Like I mentioned in the open, I will have plenty of exposure to the Championship 4, here is how I rank them and a couple of other drivers in this price range I am interested in.
- Chase Briscoe ($11,200 – P2) – My pick to win the title, should lead a ton of laps as well
- Justin Allgaier ($10,900 – P1) – Could lead a bunch of laps early, may take Briscoe some time to pass him
- Justin Haley ($10,100 – P4) – Haley is alot of people’s dark horse, but I like him better then Cindric. In his last 6 races, Haley has only finished lower than 12th once.
- Austin Cindric ($10,600 – P3) – Cindric has been cold of late with only 3 top 10’s in his last 5 races, and hasn’t won since 8/15.
Harrison Burton ($9,900)
Starting Position: 5th
Burton has won back to back races and it is highly unlikely he wins a third straight but that doesn’t mean he isn’t viable for Saturday. Earlier this season Burton finished second at Phoenix. Burton has four top 5 finishes and six finishes of 11th or better in his last 8 races.
Daniel Hemric ($9,500)
Starting Position: 18th
After a slow start and a demotion to the Xfinity series, Hemric seems to have righted his ship to the tune of four straight top 5 finishes. Hemric hasn’t won a race in his 20 starts this season, and while it may not happen this week, he has incredible upside for his price this week. Starting in the 18th position with top 5 upside, Hemric is my favorite non-championship 4 play in this entire race.
NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier
Brett Moffitt ($8,600)
Starting Position: 12th
Common sense would say Moffitt is not worth paying up for starting where he is, but common sense doesn’t always win you money! Moffitt ran exceptionally well on Friday night in Truck Series and should be able to use that experience to get himself a top 10 on Saturday. In his last three races, Moffit has not finished lower than 14th and came home 17th at this track earlier this season.
JJ Yeley ($7,900)
Starting Position: 34th
Yeley could be the ultimate chalk play in this race, but he may be necessary for you to get a takedown because of the upside. In five Xfinity races this season, Yeley has not finished lower than 25th, and has three top 15 finishes. I think a top 20 is almost a guarantee for Yeley, and a top 10 is in the cards though it may be unlikely. If you use Yeley, just know he will not get you dominator points, he is a pure place differential play.
Other Options: Ryan Sieg ($8,800), Myatt Snider ($8,000), Ryan Vargas ($7,600)
