Despite the fact that Ross Chastain has typically been slow on short tracks in recent years, he surprisingly drove from ninth to finish second in the first heat race for today's NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway; he was even the only non-winner to lead a lap in his heat race yesterday. This resulted in a third-place starting position. Although he is usually a non-factor for the lead on short tracks, the fact that he qualified so well and is consistently one of NASCAR's best restarters suggests that he has a chance to dominate if he gets around Brad Keselowski early, and Keselowski has typically been slower than Chastain for most of the season. Although his short track record and strong starting position means he's not one of the greatest DFS options, if you think he will dominate the race, he is certainly worth considering especially with a DFS salary of $7,100.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
