Chris Buescher led his teammate and car owner Brad Keselowski to a 1-2 finish in last year's Daytona night race, but this year he's in a much more precarious situation, as he is winless and sits only 16 points above the playoff cut line. Since he has a cushion over both Ross Chastain and Bubba Wallace and is also very good at Darlington, expect Buescher to play it very safe in an attempt to avoid crashing to protect his playoff position. Buescher is one of the best drivers at crash avoidance in the NASCAR Cup Series, so this situation should play to his advantage. His biggest concern might be playing it too safe, since Chastain and Wallace are likelier to make aggressive plays for stage points, but the playoff bubble might come down to whoever doesn't crash and whether a driver below the cut line wins, and that's almost impossible to predict.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
