THE SLATE
NASCAR Xfinity Series is back tonight with the Cheddar’s 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee. This race is 160-miles, or 300-laps on this 0.533-mile race track.
The optimal lineup last time out at Bristol included Tyler Reddick, Justin Allgaier, John Hunter Nemechek (not Joe), Chase Briscoe, Landon Cassill, and Timmy Hill. The salaries for these drivers was $4,800 to $11,300, the total score was 397 points, and the remaining salary was $900.
THE DRIVERS
AJ ALLMENDINGER – Allmendinger will be starting 27th this evening and is projected to finish 9th. He has the third-highest price tag, after Briscoe and Allgaier, but the place differential upside is hard to pass up on this slate.
JUSTIN ALLGAIER – Allgaier starts 10th tonight and is projected to finish 2nd, after Briscoe. He finished 8th last time out at Bristol, but towards the end of stage 2, he prevailed in a head-to-head battle with Kyle Busch. Kyle Busch has historically dominated this track in both Cup Series and Xfinity Series. Allgaier is my favorite dominator if you are only pairing one with Allmendinger.
CHASE BRISCOE – Briscoe is the favorite to win this race, and will be starting 11th tonight. He is the highest priced driver on this slate, but for GPP purposes, go ahead and plug him in and look to Additional Options to finish off your lineup.
Additional options: BJ MCLEOD, TIMMY HILL, CHAD FINCHUM, RONNIE BASSETT JR., PATRICK EMERLING
For a more balanced build, look to the following drivers:
JUSTIN HALEY, RILEY HERBST, RYAN SIEG, MICHAEL ANNETT, JEREMY CLEMENTS, ALEX LABBE, AUSTIN CINDRIC, DANIEL HEMRIC, NOAH GRAGSON, ROSS CHASTAIN
