Sunday at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, Michael McDowell will be looking to have another strong road course run, and it looks like he'll have the car to accomplish that in the Viva Mexico 250. In practice on Saturday, McDowell's No. 71 Chevrolet was the fastest in the first practice session and then wound up qualifying fifth for the much-anticipated race on Sunday. As far as road course tracks go, McDowell is one of the best in the Cup Series, as he won the race at Indy Road Course back in 2023 and has finished eighth or better in 10 of the last 17 races on this track type. Heading into the race on Sunday, McDowell was very optimistic when being interviewed by Matt Weaver, and said that he believes his Spire Motorsports Chevrolet has the speed to contend rain or shine. McDowell ($8,200) is a strong tournament option in DFS contests this weekend, but offers little Place Differential upside since he starts fifth.--Jordan McAbee
