Although Kyle Larson has been taking a lot of heat for both embarrassing crashes aand a downturn in performance over the summer, he enters the Charlotte roval race with a 54-point lead over Ross Chastain for the final playoff spot, meaning Larson will clinch a spot in the Round of 8 as long as he scores at least seven points. Stage points could likely guarantee that for him, but since he's starting fourth, it is more likely he will flip the stages and go for the win. It's hard to imagine him matching Shane van Gisbergen's speed despite his past road course wins, but he will likely have a relatively humdrum top ten run like did for most of the summer. He did win this race in 2021 and dominated it last year, so a top five finish feels like a reasonable bet, but his salary of $10,500 might be a little too much to justify starting him.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
