Kyle Larson is a two-time winner at Watkins Glen, so it was a bit surprising to see the Hendrick Motorsports driver qualify 27th for this weekend's Go Bowling at The Glen race. However, sometimes bad qualifying efforts just happen, and it shouldn't be a cause for concern, as Larson's No. 5 Chevrolet had top-five speed in practice earlier that day. Now the question becomes, though, what do you do with Larson in DFS on Sunday? He obviously has a ton of Place Differential upside, but there is also Shane van Gisbergen on the driver list priced even higher than Larson, and SVG has the potential to absolutely dominate this race. There's no doubt that Larson should be used quite a bit in DFS lineups on Sunday, but his high salary on DraftKings makes it tough to consider him a must-play. It's worth nothing that Kyle Larson hasn't finished better than 13th in four road course races this season, and has just two top-10 results in his last 11 starts on this track type. Those two exceptions were wins, though.--Jordan McAbee
