Considering the dominance the Fords in general and the Penske Fords in particular have shown on drafting tracks in recent years, it wouldn't come as much surprise if Josh Berry won at Talladega today, especially after the inferior Harrison Burton already won at Daytona in the Penske-aligned Wood Brothers car last year. However, in general you don't want to start drivers who start near the front for DFS play on drafting tracks since finishes are far less predictable at this track type than any other, meaning drivers are far more likely to lose positions when starting at the front here than anywhere else and Berry starts sixth. Furthermore, even if you were considering him for lap leader points, Talladega races have fewer laps than any other oval (188) so Berry is probably not a good choice, especially since he's never finished better than 16th here.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
