Kyle Larson has never won a drafting track race in his NASCAR Cup Series career, nor did he win at Atlanta in the years it was a regular intermediate track. It seems likely that he will win a drafting race at some point, but tonight will probably not be that race. Although he starts 11th (ahead of all but two non-Fords), it's unlikely that Larson will be able to keep up with the dominant Ford speed in an era when the Penske cars seem to dominate every drafting race. Although Larson crashed out of five of his first six Atlanta races in the Next Gen/drafting track era, he did finish third in the February race and was in the fight for the win. Ultimately, he's probably not a good enough drafter to seriously threaten for the win when the Fords are faster despite this result and since he's unlikely to dominate, he probably qualified too well to start him for DFS.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
