Corey LaJoie Not A Good Option For DFS But Might Be A Solid Bet For A Top-10 Finish
Although Corey LaJoie became the butt of jokes after a string of crashes last summer, he is actually quite serviceable at Daytona, especially in the Daytona 500. He has never crashed out of this race in eight previous starts and his average finish of 10.2 over the last five Daytona 500s is actually the best in the field. Furthermore, the Rick Ware Racing cars have generally done an excellent job of avoiding wrecks at Daytona, as 7 of RWR's 11 top tens have come there. Even though he is inexpensive on DFS at $5,700, the fact that he is starting 12th means the number of points he can gain relative to other drivers is limited and he is probably not worth considering there. Since it is Ware, betting on him for the win at 70-1 likely isn't a good value either, but he is possibly a good bet for a top ten at +260.
