After locking himself into the playoffs with last week's Brickyard 400 win, Wallace qualified 15th for today's Iowa race and was faster than both his teammates Tyler Reddick and Riley Herbst. Although Wallace is not typically faster than Reddick on most track types, short tracks are the exception since he definitely seems to outperform Reddick there and he's also seemingly been closer to him in speed than any previous year. That carried into practice where Wallace ranked second in speed and fifth in average speed (he was the fastest Toyota in the latter category). Starting where he is on a short track, he probably isn't one of the favorites to win, but he feels like a pretty safe bet for a top ten unless he overdrives and crashes, which he has done a lot this season. Now that the pressure is off after the Indianapolis win, he'll probably be likelier to finish better and is thereby a valid possibility for DFS play.--Sean Wrona - RotoBallerRead More News
