THE SLATE
NASCAR Cup Series is back today with the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway in Ridgeway, Virginia. Lock for this slate is at 7 p.m ET.
This race is 263-miles, or 500-laps on this 0.526-mile race track.
Leaving more than $200 of salary remaining will increases your chances of creating a unique lineup. Be sure to include the race winner in your lineup, drivers that finish on the lead lap, drivers that have positive place differential, and capture laps led points.
FRONTRUNNERS
Martin Truex Jr. – Truex won the fall 2019 race at Martinsville while leading 464-laps. Truex has the ability to win this race and capture a significant portion of laps led, if he has a performance similar to last fall.
Brad Keselowski – Keselowski won the spring 2019 race at Martinsville and finished 3rd in the fall race. Starting 6th, Keselowski has the momentum and the ability to battle Truex for the checkered flag.
Additional options: Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, Chase Elliott, Kyle Busch
CAPTURE THE UPSIDE
Austin Dillon – Dillon provides salary relief at $7,300 and place differential upside starting 22nd. In the last three races, Dillon has finished 11th, 6th, and 8th, and Dillon finished 11th in the spring 2019 race at Martinsville.
