Is Austin Dillon A Viable DFS Play At Talladega This Week?
Austin Dillon of Richard Childress Racing starts in the fifth position for the Jack Link's 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. It will mark the fifth time in his Cup Series career that Dillon will start inside the top five at the site, with his last top-5 start coming from last year's April race. In 23 starts at Talladega, Dillon has six top-10 finishes, including his last appearance at the Alabama track in October 2024, where he went on to place eighth. In the first nine races this year, Dillon has five top-20 finishes with only one top-10 finish. Despite his team's reputation for bringing faster cars than most at drafting-based tracks, Dillon is not viable for DFS outside of tournament games. This is particularly due to his high starting position, which makes him one of the riskiest DFS options of the week and not a general recommendation.
