Michael McDowell's Darlington record has been pretty paltry to date, as he has only posted three top-10 finishes in his career here. While all three of those races came with the Next Gen car, which indicates that he's obviously improved of late, he has still run worse than his record implies because he has never led here. Even in those races, he never posted a top-10 driver rating, so even those races had more to do with attrition and luck than speed, especially the 2022 spring Darlington race. Since there has been less attrition at Darlington in the later races with this car, he probably won't finish very well, although admittedly Spire Motorsports has been arguably faster than Front Row Motorsports here with Carson Hocevar starting on the front row last year. Nonetheless, McDowell probably isn't worth it, even at the low DFS price of $5,900.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
