After showing race-winning speed before mechanical issues struck at the Chicago Street Course last weekend, many people expected Michael McDowell to roll into Sonoma and look like one of the drivers to beat again. However, that was simply not the case this weekend. The No. 71 team was a little disadvantaged in practice on Saturday since they went out with the first group (and slower track conditions), but McDowell himself mentioned afterward that the speed just wasn't there in the race car this weekend. Now the question becomes, will the Spire Motorsports team be able to make the right adjustments for race day? Sonoma is one of the best tracks on the circuit for Michael McDowell, as he has had the best speed here in the Next Gen era and an average finish of 4.0 over the three races. Starting 15th and being priced at an affordable $9,300 on DraftKings, McDowell should be a solid DFS play on Sunday if he can just do his normal thing in the race.--Jordan McAbee
