Ryan Blaney Will Likely Lead a Lot at Daytona
Ryan Blaney is probably most frequently cited as the best drafter in the NASCAR Cup Series, and his third-place finish allowed him to take the pole for Saturday's Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway after a lightning strike canceled the scheduled qualifying session. Given the two-by-two gridlock that typically occurs in Next Gen-era drafting track races, Blaney will likely lead a lot of laps in this race and might be the leading contender to win. However, since most of these races lately turn out to be fuel-saving charades, it is likely that Blaney's probable dominance in the first stage will force him to take more fuel later, which will move him out of contention for the lead. Although he'll probably work his way back into contention, at a track like Daytona, he's just as likely to crash, so he's definitely a risky driver to start in DFS.
