Although Austin Dillon crashed last week in Chicago, he's well worth considering for DFS play this week at Sonoma, mainly because the Richard Childress Racing cars have been faster on road courses than they have on any other track type lately. Not only did Kyle Busch lead the most laps at Austin, he also recovered from a spin to finish fifth last week while his similarly-named teammate Austin Hill got his first top ten. Even Dillon himself earned a surprise top ten qualifying run at Chicago before his crash. Having qualified 33rd for today's Sonoma race, Dillon stands a really solid shot at earning Place Differential points at a track where he finished between 11th and 19th in seven of his ten starts including his best finish of 11th in his first Next Gen race in 2022. If you want to free up money to draft Shane van Gisbergen, Dillon would be a solid option for that purpose.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
