Despite Poor Qualifying Run, Daniel Suarez Might Not Be a Great Choice
Lame-duck Trackhouse Racing driver Daniel Suárez starts a miserable 35th at Bristol on Saturday, and since he costs only $6,000 on DraftKings DFS, he theoretically could be a cheap option to score a lot of place-differential points, but his consistent lack of speed in qualifying here has also typically been reflected in the race. Although Suárez often had speed in the Bristol dirt race, on pavement, he has never finished fewer than two laps down since the 2020 spring event, where he surprisingly finished 18th on the lead lap for Gaunt Brothers Racing. Trackhouse has typically been slow on short tracks, so since then, its best driver rating has been 54.8 in 2022, which only ranked 21st overall. Despite how poorly he qualified, starting him may be too big a risk, even for place-differential points.
