Austin Dillon used to be pretty solid at Kansas in his early years in the NASCAR Cup Series in the Gen 6 along with five top-10 finishes, with his most recent coming in 2023 with the Next Gen car, but admittedly, he has not finished better than 10th since his sixth-place finish in 2016. He rarely leads here, and Richard Childress Racing has lacked speed seemingly everywhere of late except for Dillon's win at Richmond. His 16th-place qualifying run is too good to consider him for qualifying points, but he is also starting too far back in the field to be a realistic contender for lap-leader or fastest-lap points, which makes him a pretty weak selection on Sunday. The only good things to say about him are that he nearly always finishes, and his $6,500 salary is pretty cheap. The only reason to start him would be to save money to roster a better top driver.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
