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.
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)
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)

Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Saturday’s Truck Series race from Kansas Speedway! After a one week hiatus, the trucks head back to track this weekend with 134 laps of playoff racing. Matt Crafton ($9,000) won here in Kansas back in July of this season and will definitely be a contender again on Saturday. I really think Crafton is more a GPP play on Saturday where he starts in the 5th position and could be a low owned dominator in this race after leading 23 laps back in July.
Parker Kligerman ($11,100)
Starting Position: 35th
Kligerman is this weeks expensive chalk place differential play for cash games. Even though he is cash viable, that doesn’t mean we want to fade him in GPP’s. Kligerman could easily be the highest scoring driver in this race and we will want to have some exposure to that. At 1.5 mile tracks this season (2 races) Kligerman has two solid finishes inside the top 20, including a 10th place finish. We are hoping similar or better numbers thhis week.
Christian Eckes ($10,400)
Starting Position: 14th
I love Eckes for place differential upside like Kligerman, but with top 5 finishing potential. In July, Eckes finished 2nd behind Crafton here in the second of back to back Kansas races after finishing 13th in the first race.
Zane Smith ($10,100)
Starting Position: 9th
Zane Smith ran his two career races at Kansas earlier this season and came home with back to back top 10 finishes (6th and 9th) and will look for his 3rd top 10 finish at Kansas this season. Smith’s upside is limited because of his starting position but the GMS trucks are always fast at 1.5 mile tracks and I think there is potential for Smith to win this race on Saturday.
Other Options: Austin Hill ($10,700), Sheldon Creed ($9,900)
Derek Kraus ($8,200)
Starting Position: 12th
Kraus seemingly makes his way into these Truck Series articles weekly and with good reason. Over the last seven races in the series, Kraus has 5 finishes inside the top 15 including three top 10 finishes. Kraus also came home with two top 10 finishes in the Kansas double header earlier this season.
Tanner Gray ($8,000)
Starting Position: 19th
Gray is currently on a string of races where he finished 20th or better nine of eleven races. Included in that stretch was his 18th and then 4th place finishes here at Kansas Speedway back in July. There is plenty of place differential upside here with Gray as well making him my favorite play in this price tier this weekend.
Timothy Peters ($7,700)
Starting Position: 22nd
Peters is in Stewart Friesen’s #52 truck this weekend and should have a really fast truck. I really like Peter’s chances at a top 10 this weekend in this truck and his PD upside combined with his lower price makes him a great play in my eyes.
Other Options: Matt Crafton ($9,000), Ryan Truex ($7,600)

Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Saturday’s Xfinity Series from the Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course, also known as The Roval. This is the 4th road course race in the Xfinity season so we have a good number of races to look to for information on how the field should fair on Saturday. Now since this is NASCAR nothing is ever definite but as long as we don’t see many wrecks (we typically don’t in road courses) we should be ok. If you are in discord you saw I mentioned that it seems DK pricing is a little soft this week with how the starting positions worked out. I really feel there is a path to using 3 drivers priced over $10K in this race that you can field that you can feel comfortable using. There are the same two obvious road course dominators in this race, AJ Allmendinger ($11,500) and Austin Cindric ($11,000), that we are used to seeing at road courses as well as some “ringers”.
Since we are at a road course, both Cindric and Allmendinger are the top choices and both offer up place differential upside. I will be using both of these drivers in multiple lineups on Saturday. If you only want to roster one, I would go with Cindric.
Kaz Grala ($10,100)
Starting Position: 12th
Grala is one driver in this top tier that might go under owned. In the 2020 season we only saw Grala race in one road course race, but he can be considered a pseudo road course ringer. Grala finished 4th in his one RC race in the #21 RCR Chevy this season, but he also had an outstanding showing in the #3 RCR Chevy in the Cup Series when he replaced Austin Dillon. While Dillon was out with a positive COVID-19 test, Grala took the number 3 to the lead briefly before coming home 7th. In 6 career Xfinity Series starts on RC, Grala has two top 5 finishes as well as three top 10’s.
Other Options: Justin Allgaier ($10,700), Chase Briscoe ($10,400)
Preston Pardus ($8,300)
Starting Position: 30th
Pardus may not be as much of a chalk play as someone with his ability starting 30th should be, so you might have some low owned value here. It is tough to get a feel for his ownership, but with him being a lesser known driver in this price range we could see him carry low ownership. In three races this season (all road courses), Pardus has two top 10 finishes. Pardus did race here at The Roval in 2019, but finished 27th.
Myatt Snider ($7,800)
Starting Position: 21st
Snider will be in the #93 car this week again but he does offer some minimal upside on Saturday. I don’t love the play if you are playing cash games, but Snider is a good GPP play. He is in the middle ground where he doesn’t have the upside of a Pardus base don place differential, but he does have top 10 upside and could be the difference in a GPP. Snider does own a top 10 this season (on a RC) when he finished 10th at the Daytona Road Course. In his other 2 road courses races in 2020, Snider finished 32 at Elkhart Lake, but did finish 16th at the Indianapolis RC.
Other Options: Harrison Burton ($8,900), Jeremy Clements ($8,500), Austin Hill ($7,600

Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Saturday afternoon’s Xfinity Series race from Talladega Super Speedway! This is the fourth and final Super Speedway race on the season for the Xfinity Series and is arguably the most important of the four. This is the second to last race in the segment of the playoffs and we will see the playoff drivers battling for the win to secure them a spot in the next round.
AJ Allmendinger ($12,000)
Starting Position: 36th
Welcome to AJ Allmendinger chalk day in the Xfinity series. I don’t really need to tell you why to play Allmendinger other then he starts 36th and will finish in the top 10. In the first race at Talladega this season, Allmendinger started 34th and finished 7th. Play Allmendinger, and don’t worry about salary because we have plenty of value to make it work.
Ross Chastain ($10,200)
Starting Position: 13th
If you didn’t know, Allmendinger and Chastain both drive for Kaulig Racing as well as Justin Haley ($9,600). Earlier this season at Talladega these 3 drivers finished 7th, 2nd, and 1st respectively and I think that we could all three come away with similar finishes on Saturday. Chastain’s 2nd place finish here in June was his best at Talladega in a Xfinity car. Haley has two wins, three top 5’s, and five top 10’s in seven career Super Speedway races in the Xfinity series. If you want to spend your salary, I will recommend stacking the Kaulig teammates.
Other Options: Austin Cindric ($10,600), Chase Briscoe ($10,400), Noah Gragson ($9,800)
Timmy Hill ($8,400)
Starting Position: 37th
There is some talk that we could see Hill in a Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota on Saturday. Either way, Hill is starting dead last and will most likely be far enough away from the lead pack to avoid the big wrecks and could come home with a top 20 finish if it all works out for him.
Ryan Vargas ($7,700)
Starting Position: 29th
After Allmendinger, Vargas is probably the best place differential play in the field on Saturday. Vargas is probably the best driver to get behind the wheel of the #6 car at a Super Speedway this season. While he doesn’t have any Super Speedway experience, Vargas is a talented young driver with place differential upside.
Other Options: Harrison Burton ($9,400), Ryan Sieg ($8,300), Brett Moffitt ($7,900), Jeremy Clements ($7,600)

Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Saturday afternoon’s Truck Series race from Talladega Super Speedway! This will be the second, and final, Super Speedway race of the season for the Truck Series in 2020. We haven’t had a SS race in this series since the opening race of the season at Daytona which was won by Grant Enfinger ($9,600) in a virtual photo finish. We saw three huge wrecks in the Daytona race this season with at least 9 trucks being involved in each of the 3 wrecks. Looking back to the last race at Talladega in the fall of 2019, there 5 wrecks involving which left 10 different drivers out of the race. This race was won by Spencer Boyd ($5,600) who led just one lap and started in P25. With only 164 laps in this race on Saturday, we once again are hunting for place differential points and finishing position and less for dominator points. Like with most Super Speedway, or plate races, do NOT be afraid to leave salary on the table.
There are not many drivers I want to use in this section and I will advise that you only roster 1 driver in this price, at most.
Austin Hill ($10,400)
Starting Position: 2nd
If there is one driver who can dominate this race, or at least lead the majority of the 164 laps in this race, it will be Hill. Last week at Vegas it took until late in the race before Hill got up front, but on Saturday he starts on the front row next to Sheldon Creed ($9,200). Both Hill and Creed are playable but in GPP’s only (which is what I strongly recommend ONLY playing for this weekend) and could each lead the open stage and more in this race. I will probably be making multiple lineups and be using at least one if each. Hill does own a SS win, which came in 2019 at Daytona.
Other Options: Zane Smith ($10,000), Grant Enfinger ($9,600)
Derek Kraus ($8,600)
Starting Position: 17th
Kraus had a great showing in his first Super Speedway race in the Truck Series earlier this season when he started 16th and ended up 4th at Daytona. With Kraus starting 17th he has some good place differential upside and will need another top 10 or top 5 to make value at his price but I think he will be able to, if he can avoid the big one(s).
Trevor Bayne ($8,200) – P25
Kaz Grala ($8,100) – P28
Robby Lyons ($8,000) – P38
These three are grouped together because as of writing they could be considered my “core”. I don’t typically have a core I use in all lineups because I never want 100% exposure to any driver, but I do plan on having at least 2 of these drivers in each of my lineups. They all offer great upside and could easily all end up in the optimal lineup on Saturday. Grala is probably my favorite because he is the best driver of the bunch and in the best equipment. Grala hops into the #44 that is usually driven by Natalie Decker but she is dealing with a medical issue. I think Grala could easily get this truck to a top 10 finish. Lyons has run 3 races this season and has finished no worse than 26th in any of those races. In three Super Speedway races in his Truck Series career, Lyons has two top 15 finishes and an average finish of 19th.
Other Options: Todd Gilliland ($9,400), Tanner Gray ($7,800)
Like normal when it comes to Super Speedway races, we will be living in this range on Saturday. I will most likely have 3-4 drivers from this range in every lineup. Like I said in the open, do NOT feel it’s necessary to used all of your salary. If you have less than $500 or so left, you are probably not building your lineup the right way.

Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Saturday night’s Xfinity Series race from Las Vegas Motor Speedway. We have a 200 lap race on Saturday night, which means dominator points will be at a premium. I have two drivers in mind who I think can dominate this race and I will be playing them together a good amount on Saturday. Both Chase Briscoe ($11,600) and Austin Cindric ($11,300) have been outstanding at 1.5 mile tracks this season and should have no problem repeating their success here in Vegas.
Chase Briscoe ($11,600)
Starting Position: 1st
Chase Briscoe starts on the pole and will likely be fighting with Cindric for the lead on lap 1. Briscoe won this race in the Spring and will have a good chance to sweep here. In this race earlier this season, Briscoe led 89 laps which is what we want to see again on Saturday.
Austin Cinrdic ($11,300)
Starting Position: 2nd
If Briscoe doesn’t get the win on Saturday, I think it will be Cindric who gets it done. Cindric finished second behind Briscoe back in February here at Vegas. In that race, Cindric led 39 laps after starting on the pole, and in his last ten races as 1.5 mile tracks he averaged over 60 laps led.
If you don’t want to use that much salary on the top 2 guys I mentioned, I really like pairing one of them up with local boy, Noah Gragson ($10,300). Using Gragson will save you at least $1K and should free up enough salary to make a more balanced lineup if you choose to go that way.
Other Options: Justin Allgaier ($10,600)
Brandon Jones ($9,400)
Starting Position: 7th
Jones is another driver who has the potential to pick up some dominator points and win this race. If he doesn’t win, Jones will at least be able to offer you some upside starting in P7. In seven races here, Jones has five top 10 finishes including his 6th place finish here in February.
Michael Annett ($8,200)
Starting Position: 13th
Michael Annett is priced too low for his starting position and upside here on Saturday. In his last 15 races, Annett quietly has 13 top 10 finishes. I know I wrote this similar stat last week and Annett was involved in an early race wreck and finished 31st. That is less likely to happen atVegas and a top 5 is not out of the question here as well.
Other Options: Myatt Snider ($9,100) – Remember that Snider is back in the #93 car, not the RCR 21. Brett Moffitt ($8,800), Ryan Sieg ($8,100)
