Ross Chastain Has Less DFS Value than Usual Since He Qualified Better

It's Unclear Whether Josh Berry's 1.5-Mile Oval Speed Will Transfer to Michigan, but It Looks Likely
June 8, 2025
Although Ross Chastain is one of the most valuable DFS drivers most weeks because he tends to qualify poorly and finish well, Michigan may not be one of the best tracks to start him. Although he's generally known for his intermediate prowess, he tends to do better on the 1.3-1.5 mile intermediates than the 2-milers. Although he has led the last three Michigan races, he crashed in 2022 and spun in overtime last year. However, he has never driven more cleanly than he has this year so he might be more likely to get a good finish even though his cars seem slower than they were in previous years. The main reason he might not be the best choice this week is because he qualified 20th, much better than he usually does, meaning he is less likely to earn Place Differential points. He's still a top choice for this race and well worth considering, but others seem to be better options for this race.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
