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

Welcome to the NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Sunday afternoon’s Truck Series race from Darlington Raceway. This is first time since 2011 that the Truck series will be racing at Darlington. There are only a few drivers in this race who have a raced a truck at this track, including Johnny Sauter ($11,000) and Matt Crafton ($9,300). Neither of them have had much success here, and only Crafton has led any laps (4) at Darlington. We can use Homestead as a comparable track for Darlington since they both run similar high grooves.

NASCAR DFS: Dominators

Christian Eckes ($10,600)

Starting Position: 17th

Eckes has not had a great run of late, but he does have 3 second place finishes in his last 6 races. Earlier this season Eckes did finish 8th at Homestead and led 40 laps at that race. We will need a similar performance to that from Homestead to make value, and I think he can pull it out. Starting 17th, Eckes does offer some good place differential upside which gives me hope he will get the points we need.

David Ragan ($9,700)

Starting Position : 34th

Ragan is running his first Truck Series race since the 2006 season and will be in the Rick Ware #17 truck. I think Ragan is priced appropriately for his ability and where he is starting in the field. Ragan is possibly the top point per dollar play on the slate, with the possible exception of someone in the next price tier. I will have plenty of Ragan exposure on Sunday.

Other Options: Johnny Sauter ($11,000), Sheldon Creed ($10,100)

NASCAR DFS: Mid Tier

Matt Crafton ($9,300)

Starting Position: 10th

Crafton has the most experience at Darlington in a truck and has also had some success here as well. In 6 races here, Crafton has four top 10 finishes, and one top 5. Crafton is one of the most experienced drivers in the field and has the most experience of any driver in this race at Darlington.

Greg Biffle ($8,100)

Starting Position: 20th

Greg Biffle is my favorite point per dollar play on this slate that I mentioned in my Ragan breakdown. Biffle will be in the #24 GMS Chevy that has been one of the best trucks in the field week after week. Sam Mayer drove this truck to a 4th place finish last weekend after leading a good portion late in the race. My pick to win this race is Greg Biffle and I will have plenty of Biffle exposure on Sunday

Other Options: Zane Smith ($9,500), Brett Moffitt ($8,900), Trevor Bayne ($7,600)

NASCAR DFS: Value Tier Rankings

1. Josh Reaume – $5,000 – P30
2. Codie Rohrbaugh – $5,100 – P33
3. Bayley Currey – $6,500 – P29
4. Ty Majeski – $7,500 – P12
5. Timmy Hill – $6,700 — P21
6. Austin Wayne-Self – $6,900 – P24
