Although Kyle Larson only finished 9th in the March race at Las Vegas, he was pretty spectacular as he made five passes for the lead without being passed once for the lead himself before he was ultimately foiled by pit strategy. While he has been nowhere near as fast in the second half of the season (probably because he has been a little more conservative after the backlash from him crashing in both Memorial Day races), he's still getting finishes, but he hasn't had one of his patented dominant runs in a while, which might make him a difficult option since he is very mistake-prone and at $11,500 is the highest-priced driver on DraftKings DFS in the field. You should probably choose Denny Hamlin instead since he's more likely to get a good finish and dominate, but a lot fewer people will likely start Larson, which might be the best reason to choose him instead.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
