Although Michael McDowell has had a very poor record at Michigan historically with his 19th place finish last year serving as his career best, he has arguably never looked faster on intermediate tracks than he has this year with his pole at Las Vegas, top ten at Charlotte, and pass for the lead at Texas. However, all of those are 1.5-mile tracks, which do drive differently from 2-mile tracks like Michigan. He does not seem to be strong on this track type in general as he only had a single top 20 at Fontana, where he finished 18th in the last race in 2023. However, given his increased speed this year, it seems likely that he might run better here than he ever has in the past. Coupling that with a 32nd-place starting position and a quite solid strategist in Travis Peterson, he might be a better DFS longshot than he appears. Since he only costs $6,100, he isn't a terrible option.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
