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.

NASCAR DFS: Dominators

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)

NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier

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)

NASCAR DFS: Value Tier Rankings

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.

1. Jordan Anderson – $6,200 – P26
2. Jason White – $4,800 – P30
3. Codie Rohrbaugh – $5,800 – P34
4. Spencer Boyd – $5,600 – P24
5. Dawson Cram – $7,200 – P33
6. Bayley Currey – $6,900 – P21
7. Tate Fogleman – $5,500 – P16
8. Korbin Forrester – $5,300 – P29

Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Friday night’s Truck Series race from Las Vegas Motor Speedway. In Friday’s race, we only have 164 laps so we won’t be hunting for dominator points in this race. Instead, we will be looking for place differential and finishing position points and any dominator points we get will be a bonus. There is one place differential play that stands out in the top tier of this race, and a few in the mid-tier that we will want to build around.

NASCAR DFS: Dominators

Austin Hill ($10,700)

Starting Position: 11th

Hill is probably the best upside play in the top tier on Friday and is a cash game lock if playing. Earlier this season Hill finished 3rd at Vegas after starting 6th. Hill had some bad luck last week at Bristol and finished 26th, but before that he had five straight top 10 finishes, including three top 5’s.

Zane Smith ($10,100)

Starting Position: 7th

Zane Smith hasn’t had great luck of late and has an average finish of 14.6 in his last three races. Before the three poor finishes, Smith had two wins and four top 10 finishes in his previous five races. In the first race at Las Vegas this season, Smith started 15th but ended up with a 6th place finish.

Other Options: Brett Moffitt ($11,100), Christian Eckes ($9,900)

NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier

Dylan Lupton ($9,300)

Starting Position: 34th

This will be Lupton’s first Truck series race this season, but he does have experience at this track. Last season, Lupton finished 10th in at DGR truck, which is what he will be in on Friday. Lupton will be in the #17 truck that we last saw being driven by David Ragan. I don’t love the price for Lupton, but when we can get upside like this, I am willing to roll the dice and pay up for Lupton.

Derek Kraus ($8,400)

Starting Position: 14th

Derek Kraus is my favorite GPP play in this tier starting 14th with top 10, and maybe even top 5, potential. In his last ten races Kraus has only finished lower than 13th three times, has four top 10’s and two top 5’s. Kraus is a perfect GPP play and game log watchers may be scared off when you see the price and his recent finishes.

Connor Daly ($7,600)

Starting Position: 27th

This will be the first race for Connor Daly in a Truck, and only his second race in a NASCAR event in his career. Daly is a primary Indy car driver but will be in pretty good equipment and offers some good upside. A lot of people tend to fade drivers with no stats, and we can hopefully take advantage of this on Friday.

Other Options: Johnny Sauter ($9,500), Todd Gilliland ($9,100), Matt Crafton ($8,700), Stewart Friesen ($8,100), Ryan Truex ($7,700 – GPP ONLY)

NASCAR DFS: Value Tier Rankings

1. Josh Reaume – $6,600 – P30
2. Spencer Davis – $7,200 – P32
3. Danny Bohn – $6,900 – P20
4. Spencer Boyd – $5,700 – P29
5. Tate Fogelman – $5,800 – P18
6. Austin Wayne Self – $6,700 – P26
7. Jordan Anderson – $6,200 – P21
8. Travis Pastrana – $7,400 – P29

Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Thursday night’s NASCAR Trucks series race from Bristol Motor Speedway! This is a 200 lap race on Thursday night, which means we have 150 dominator points available in this race. Last year in this same race we had three different drivers lead every lap, and all three are favorites in this same race as well. Ross Chastain ($12,000), Brett Moffitt ($9,800) – 2019 winner, and Grant Enfinger ($9,200) led all 200 laps last year and I think any of these three drivers can easily win this race .

NASCAR DFS – Dominators

Ross Chastain ($12,000)

Starting Position: 34th

Chastain is back in the Truck series this week and is the highest priced driver in the field this week with arguably the most upside as well. Starting from the 34th spot in a truck that can easily finish in the top 10 and lead laps makes Chastain the optimal cash game play for this race. There is a good amount of value to balance his salary so there is no reason to fade him in GPP’s either in my opinion.

Sheldon Creed ($11,300)

Starting Position: 8th

Creed has two wins in his last 5 races and has been one of the best drivers all season. In his only race at Bristol last year, Creed came home in 6th after starting 24th. This is the first race of the playoffs in the Truck Series and Creed will be looking to win this race and lock in his place in the next round, and win this race.

Brett Moffitt ($9,800)

Starting Position: 2nd

Moffitt may be the unluckiest driver in the Truck Series and just can’t buy a win this season. Coming into Thursday’s race, Moffitt has six straight top 10’s and has led laps in 5 of those 6 races as well. With a win under his belt here at Bristol last year, I think Moffitt gets out front early and leads a good portion of the first half of this race.

Other Options: Parker Kligerman ($10,900), Johnny Sauter ($10,600)

NASCAR DFS : Mid Tier

Sam Mayer ($8,800)

Starting Position: 17th

Mayer is just 17 years old, but has been very successful in the Truck series this season, and last. Last year at this race, Mayer finished 21st, his first career race at this track. I think Mayer has the biggest upside in this tier this week and is cash game viable if you play cash games.

Stewart Friesen ($7,600)

Starting Position: 12th

Friesen was in a really bad rut for a while this season but has seemingly gotten that figured out and is running much better currently. Friesen comes into Bristol with 5 straight top 10 finishes. While he doesn’t offer a ton of upside because Friesen will not likely run upfront on Thursday, his price means he doesn’t need to make value for us.

Other Options: Grant Enfinger ($9,200), Todd Gilliland ($9,000), Chandler Smith ($8,100)

NASCAR DFS: Value Tier Rankings

1. Camden Murphy – $6,300 – P36
2. Danny Bohn – $6,100 – P27
3. Tate Fogelman – $5,300 – P20
4. Tanner Gray – $7,100 – P16
5. Josh Anderson – $6,000 – P25
6. Clay Greenfield – $4,600 – P26
7. Cody Erickson – $5,200 – P33
8. Carson Hocevar – $6,900 – P21
