Chase Briscoe's win at Pocono last weekend put Alex Bowman on the playoff bubble, which means Bowman might be desperate to make something happen at Atlanta on Saturday to lock himself into the playoffs. The problem is that despite all his Daytona 500 front-row starts, as well as the fact that he was the fastest non-Ford qualifier in this race, Bowman doesn't seem to be a great drafter in races. His ninth-place qualifying run is good, but although he has earned three top-five finishes here (including a fifth-place showing in last week's race), he rarely ever contends and has only led 11 laps (but they did come in his last two starts here). Ultimately, he probably has little value on Saturday since the Fords are so much faster and there are plenty of drivers starting behind him that are better drafters.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
