Michael McDowell Starting Too Well for Dover DFS Consideration

Michael McDowell is one of the absolute worst options for DFS consideration on Sunday as he starts seventh at Dover, a track where he has never finished better than 17th. This means he is almost certain to lose positions and score extremely few DFS points as a result. His previous best starting position of eighth […]

Austin Cindric Fading Since Father Tim's Ouster from Team Penske

Ever since Roger Penske fired Tim Cindric as Team Penske President in the wake of their Indy 500 qualifying cheating scandal, Tim's son Austin has steadily faded to his typical mediocrity. That could just be a coincidence as plenty of other teams seem to be giving up on the regular season races once they win […]

Erik Jones' Low-Level Dover Consistency Makes Him Moderately Valuable

Erik Jones' chances of getting into the playoffs are likely over after two typically subpar road-course runs back-to-back, but now as NASCAR returns to the ovals, Jones might get back into the groove as he had six straight finishes of 17th or better on ovals before the road-course swing. Although he typically does better on […]

Zane Smith's Poor Starting Position Makes Him an OK DFS Option

Zane Smith starts 30th for Sunday's race at Dover, smack dab in between his Front Row Motorsports teammates Todd Gilliland and Noah Gragson, who start 24th and 36th, respectively. It's unclear what effect NASCAR's revocation of FRM's charter will have on the team's performance, especially after their appeal was denied. However, it's pretty rare for […]

Todd Gilliland Likely to Finish Worse Than He Starts at Dover

Todd Gilliland has his best-ever starting performance at Dover, where he starts 24th after qualifying was rained out, even though he is currently lower in points than he finished any previous season. When considering both that fact and the fact that he has never finished better than 25th here, he is very likely to lose […]

Cody Ware Has Never Finished Better Than 13 Laps Down at Dover

Even by his very low standards, Cody Ware has not been terrible at Dover Motor Speedway. In five starts, he has an average finish of 34th. He crashed out in both 2018 and 2021 and has never finished better than 13 laps down here. In general, drivers for the slowest teams should be avoided at […]

Breakouts win fantasy football championships.
