Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Saturday afternoons Xfinity Series race from Texas Motor Speedway. On Saturday we have 200 laps of racing to pick up dominator points. I expect the majority of those points to be earned by two drivers while the rest of the field just tries to keep up with them. Austin Cindric ($11,400) is the highest priced driver again this week and I am going to assume he will desperately want to make up for his poor showing after being wrecked early on last week.
NASCAR DFS: Dominators
Austin Cindric ($11,400)
Starting Position: 7th
Cindric had an early day last weekend in Kansas and I don’t see that happening again this week. I think Cindric has the potential to lead over 100 laps this week, and win. Earlier this season at Texas Cindric won and led 44 laps. In 5 races at Texas, Cindric has never finished lower than 11th, and has three top 5 finishes
Chase Briscoe ($11,100)
Starting Position: 1st
Briscoe has won the last two races at 1.5 mile tracks and led over 150 laps in both those races. Since Briscoe is on the pole he should take the early lead and hold it for a while until Cindric can get passed him. We have so much value in this field on Saturday that rostering both Cindric and Briscoe together (especially in cash) should be easy to do comfortably. I plan on doing this in GPP’s as well because I think they are 1 and 2 in DKFP on Saturday
Other Options: Justin Allgaier ($10,800), Harrison Burton ($10,400), Noah Gragson ($10,100),Anthony Alfredo ($9,600)
NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier
Riley Herbst ($9,000)
Starting Position: 19th
Herbst price isn’t ideal for me, but he will probably come in at much lower ownership because of it. I won’t have a ton of exposure to Herbst, probably around 25%, but not because I don’t think he will succeed, but because of the price solely. Herbst had a poor showing early this season at Texas, but that was because of an accident early on.
Austin Hill ($8,100)
Starting Position: 14th
Hill ended up with a 5th place finish last week at Kansas and when he doesn’t get involved in a wreck he has yet to finish worse than 17th in 2020. I don’t see Hill being a popular play at this price and starting 14th which will give us a huge advantage on the field if he pulls out another top 5, or even a top 10.
Other Options: Michael Annett ($8,700), Ryan Sieg ($8,600), Ryan Vargas ($7,500)
NASCAR DFS: Value Tier Rankings
This week the value tier is loaded this week and we will need them to fit in the top tier driver we will need to take down GPP’s.
- BJ McLeod – $6,400 – P30
- Jeffrey Earnhardt – $5,000 – P21
- Jesse Little – $6,600 – P27
- Colby Howard – $5,600 – P33
- Brandon Brown – $7,400 – P15
- Bayley Currey – $5,100 – P24 – GPP ONLY
- David Starr – $5,300 – P23
- Myatt Snider – $7,200 – P22
- Kyle Weatherman – $6,100 – P36 – Starts last, but there is a good chance his car doesn’t make it to the end capping his upside.
