Is Ty Gibbs Worth Rostering At Martinsville This Week For DFS?
1 month agoTy Gibbs will start fifth in Sunday's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway after qualifying, marking the second time in his Cup career that he will start inside the top five at the site. In four previous races at Martinsville, Gibbs never finished better than 18th and only scored positive place differential once. Through 34 races this season, Gibbs has 12 top-10 finishes and an average finish of 16.3. At short tracks this season, Gibbs has only one top-10 finish and nabbed positive place differential twice. In practice, Gibbs ranked 12th in overall lap averages while ranking among the top 10 fastest in 10 and 20 consecutive lap averages. As a former Xfinity Series winner at Martinsville with great equipment and top-10 practice speeds, Gibbs is likely to compete for a top-10 finish. The No. 54 Toyota driver's low upside due to his starting position, however, makes him best utilized in tournament lineups as a contrarian pick for DFS.
