Despite Poor Qualifying Run, Daniel Suarez Might Not Be a Great Choice for Place Differential Points
September 13, 2025
Ross Chastain sits only 19 points ahead of Austin Dillon for the final transfer spot in the Round of 12, which means he's in some danger of failing to advance in the playoffs particularly if he has an early DNF, but otherwise it's a little hard to imagine any of the drivers behind him overtaking him unless Alex Bowman wins. Although Chastain has never led here or posted a top five finish, he's been fairly consistent with five top 15s in his six races in competitive equipment, and this time he qualified 13th (far better than he usually does), which means he may have the potential to post one of his best finishes ever here. He qualified too well to make him an automatic DFS choice like he has been so many other weeks, but he still has value since he is still more likely to finish better than he starts.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
