NASCAR

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.

1. Chase Briscoe ($11,200 – P2) – My pick to win the title, should lead a ton of laps as well
2. Justin Allgaier ($10,900 – P1) – Could lead a bunch of laps early, may take Briscoe some time to pass him
3. 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.
4. 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)

NASCAR DFS: Value Tier Rankings

1. BJ McLeod – $6,700 – P27
2. Jeffrey Earnhardt – $5,400 – P22

Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Saturday afternoon’s Xfinity Series race from Martinsville Speedway! Like with the Truck Series race on Friday night, this is the last race before the Championship race next week at Phoenix. Only Chase Briscoe ($11,500) has clinched his spot in the final race so there are 7 drivers vying for the final 3 spots in the finale at Phoenix. We will be seeing these teams employing a lot of different strategies to try and get the win, but also get the two transfer spots that don’t win.

NASCAR DFS: Dominators

AJ Allmendinger ($12,500)

Starting Position: 37th

Allmendinger is the chalk play on this slate and because of that I can understanding fading him in GPP’s, but in cash you kind of have no choice but to roster him. Allmendinger is typically a road course/superspeedway driver but he will try his hand at short track racing for only the 3rd time in the Xfinity Series. AJ does have two good finishes in his previous 2 races, 10th and 14th, and I like his chances of another top 15 on Saturday

As far as the rest of this price tier goes, I will have exposure to many of these drivers because they all have a lot to race for. Below are my rankings for these drivers on Saturday’s race:

1. Noah Gragson ($10,000) – After losing the lead on the last lap, and subsequently his guaranteed spot in the finale, Gragson will want to get out front early and win this race.
2. Austin Cindric ($11,100) – If Gragson can’t get passed Cindric early, he could lead a good portion of this race and potentially win.
3. Chase Briscoe ($11,500) – Briscoe doesn’t need to win, but that doesn’t mean he won’t try to. Offers minimal PD upside as well starting 5th
4. Justin Allgaier ($10,700) – This is the 1st Xfinity race here since 2006 so Allgaier has never raced here, but he does own 4 short track victories elsewhere.
5. Harrison Burton ($10,300) – Burton isn’t a playoff driver but he could still have a good day. Seven career short track races, six top 10’s four top 5’s

NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier

Riley Herbst ($9,100)

Starting Position: 24th

Herbst has not had a good run of late with three finishes of 30th or worse, but his equipment is too good to keep having these types of finishes. While Herbst has not raced too many short track races in the Xfinity Series, he does have a good track record at short tracks in the ARCA Series. Herbst has nine top 10 finishes in 18 races and owns an average finish of 10.4.

Ryan Sieg ($8,100)

Starting Position: 9th

Ryan Sieg comes into Saturday’s race with three top 5 finishes in his last five races. Sieg has not been great at short tracks in his career but for GPP’s I really like the top 5 upside for Sieg. I anticipate Sieg being one of the lowest owned drivers

Other Options: Justin Haley ($9,400), Brett Moffitt ($7,800) , Jeremy Clements ($7,800)

NASCAR DFS: Value Tier Rankings

1. JJ Yeley – $6,000 – P39
2. Stefan Parsons – $6,200 – P36
3. Myatt Snider – $7,100 – P22
4. Jeffrey Earnhardt – $5,200 – P20
5. Colby Howard – $5,700 – P27
6. Joe Graf Jr. – $5,600 – P25
7. BJ McLeod – $6,700 – P29
8. Ryan Vargas – $7,300 – P17

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.

1. BJ McLeod – $6,400 – P30
2. Jeffrey Earnhardt – $5,000 – P21
3. Jesse Little – $6,600 – P27
4. Colby Howard – $5,600 – P33
5. Brandon Brown – $7,400 – P15
6. Bayley Currey – $5,100 – P24 – GPP ONLY
7. David Starr – $5,300 – P23
8. Myatt Snider – $7,200 – P22
9. 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.

Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Saturday’s Xfinity Series from Kansas Speedway. Earlier this year at Kansas Austin Cindric ($10,900) dominated the race leading 131 laps but ended up in 2nd, while Brandon Jones ($9,500) ended up in victory lane.

NASCAR DFS: Dominators

Chase Briscoe ($11,500)

Starting Position: 6th

Briscoe didn’t have a great day at Kansas in July this year, but he dominated the race at Las Vegas a couple weeks ago. Vegas runs as a similar style track to Kansas and I think Briscoe has the potential to dominate here on Saturday.

Harrison Burton ($10,200)

Starting Position: 18th

Burton offers great place differential upside and also is a potential dark horse to win this race. Earlier this season Burton finished 3rd here at Kansas and led 8 laps. Burton is a safe play in great equipment (JGR) and should easily have a top 10 finish.

Other Options: Austin Cindric ($10,900), Anthony Alfredo ($9,500)

NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier

Brett Moffitt ($7,900) and Austin Hill ($7,700) are two great plays in the mid tier this week. Both Moffitt (27th) and Hill (29th) start towards the back and offer some really great place differential upside. Both of these drivers will have run the Truck Series prior to the Xfinity race and could have an advantage because of this. I think Hill is the safer play and therefor I would use him in cash, and stick with Moffitt in GPP’s.

Ryan Sieg ($8,500)

Starting Position: 8th

Sieg is a GPP only play for me this weekend. He doesn’t have the place differential upside we would generally want, but Sieg is in the playoffs and has used pit strategy to get stage points and lead laps towards the end of stages. Sieg definitely has top 10 upside in my opinion, and possibly top 5 potential as well. He is not a safe play, but he will be low owned and could make your lineup different enough for a takedown.

Other Options: Michael Annett ($8,900), Timmy Hill ($8,100)

NASCAR DFS: Value Tier Rankings

1. Jesse Little – $6,000 – P30
2. Brandon Brown – $7,100 – P16 ( too cheap for the upside here)
3. Bayley Currey – $5,700 – P32
4. Josh Reaume – $5,20 – P36
5. Josh Williams – $6,800 – P23
6. Jeffrey Earnhardt – $4,700 – P14
