Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for the Xfinity Series. Below are my thoughts on the drivers in this race and who will be in my player pool. I categorize them by Top Priority, Value, GPP, and Place Differential plats.

NASCAR DFS Top Priority Plays

Austin Hill (2) – $10.5K: Austin Hill is the dominant driver at the new Atlanta. Usually, we fade drivers starting at the front of these races, but not Hill. In the 6 races here after the configuration, Hill has won 4 times and finished 2nd and a dismal 12th in the 6th. Hill has started inside the top 5 in four of his wins and has led an impressive 218 laps in all 6 races combined.

Aric Almirola (16) – $10K: Almirola is a good superspeedway racer if he can avoid the carnage. This week Almirola is back in the Joe Gibbs #19 car where he had some success last year. There is some solid upside with Almirola starting from P16 and I expect a top 10 finish with win upside.

Sheldon Creed (17) – $9.5K: Creed is the perennial first loser in the Xfinity Series. While he has never won a race in the series, Creed has come close so many times finishing 2nd 13 times. I don’t think Creed wins this week, but he has a fast Ford Mustang and should be a contender for a top 5 on Saturday.

Matt DiBenedetto (30) – $6.9K: I don’t have any flashy stats or great things to say about Matty D. DiBenedetto is a good driver who, if he can avoid the carnage, presents as a great PD play at lower ownership than I expected (Proj% at 29%).

Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for the Xfinity Series. Below are my thoughts on the drivers in this race and who will be in my player pool. I categorize them by price, value, and dominator potential.

NASCAR DFS: Lock

Sheldon Creed (38) – 10K

Creed is my lock for this race and will be in all of my lineups. After engine issues in practice, the team decided to swap out the engine, making them unable to run a qualifying lap and leaving them to start last. Creed is a great driver in the Xfinity Series and should have no issues running in the top 10 and finishing there at the race end. I know he will be popular, but like I say often, if he does what he’s supposed to you won’t have a shot without him.

NASCAR DFS: Potential Dominators

• Chandler Smith (3) – $10.2K
• Cole Custer (2) – $10.8K
• Brandon Jones (1) – $8.5K
• Justin Allgaier (6) – $10.5K

My suggestion is to run at least one of these four in every lineup you build. I will most likely have two in all or most of my lineups.

NASCAR DFS: Low Risk/High Reward Options

• Taylor Gray (13) – $8.3K
• Riley Herbst (7) – $9.4K
• Austin Hill (17) – $9.8K
• Parker Kligerman (11) – $8K

NASCAR DFS: Value/PD Plays

• Leeland Honeyan (25) – $5.5K
• Daniel Dye (30) – $7K
• Brennan Poole (32) – $5.9K
• JJ Yeley (28) – $5.8K
• Ryan Ellis (34) – $5K

NASCAR DFS: GPP – High Risk/High Reward

• Sam Mayer (4) – $9.5K
• Aric Almirola (12) – $11K
• Anthony Alfredo (18) – $7.2K
• Sammy Smith (5) – $9K
• Ryan Sieg (10) – $7.8K

Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for the Xfinity Series. Below you will find my rankings for the drivers in this race.

A Group: Drivers I will have the most exposure to and are high-priority

B Group: This group is drivers I feel have a high upside and are great filler pieces to pair with the A Group

C Group: The drivers in this tier are a bit risky, but could still be optimal. This group should be used in GPP’s

Drivers in BOLD are potential dominators

Drivers in BOLD are potential dominators

This is another road course, so we are not chasing dominator points. Since it is a road course, my focus for this race is place differential and finishing position. We have a lot of good upside cheap plays that will make it easy to roster the big boys at the front. Hopefully, you guys play the right ones, unfortunately, we won’t know who that is until the checkered flag waves at the night’s end.
