Is Daniel Suarez A Contrarian Play At Kansas?

Even though he is not a playoff driver, the Trackhouse Racing driver remains a viable DFS play for this race, especially at his $7,500 salary on DraftKings.

Brad Keselowski Focused On The Win Entering Playoffs
Brad Keselowski, who qualified fifth for Sunday's Cook Out Southern 500, has a lot of momentum entering the playoffs.

Based on his finish in stages one and two of Saturday's Coke Zero Sugar 400, Martin Truex Jr. secured his first regular season title since 2017.
