Hail Melon Nostalgia Masks Ross Chastain's Martinsville Mediocrity
Although Ross Chastain delivered what will forever remain his lifetime highlight reel in the fall 2022 race at Martinsville with his storied last lap wall ride to advance to the Championship Round of the playoffs, he actually hasn't been very good at Martinsville overall. That improbable fourth-place finish was his best ever at the track and he's never finished better than sixth since. He also only led 31 laps here at the spring race in 2023. He typically runs between 6th-15th here for the most part, which is again where he qualified (13th). Unlike a lot of weeks when he's a favorite for a lot of Place Differential points, he probably isn't this time. He'll probably get a sneaky and rather invisible top ten finish but won't likely contend. You should probably stay away from Chastain for DFS play.
