Ross Chastain Has A Real Shot Of Winning But Should Be Avoided For DFS
Ross Chastain came oh so close to winning last year's Daytona 500 as he attempted a pass on leader William Byron and was alongside coming to the white flag just as Corey LaJoie bumped Austin Cindric into Chastain, spinning out both drivers and helping cost Chastain a playoff bid. Nonetheless, the Trackhouse Racing cars definitely had the speed to win on drafting tracks last year, as also evidenced by Daniel Suarez's win at Atlanta. Chastain's probability of winning is probably better than his 25-1 odds imply so he's worth a bet there, but like William Byron and Chris Buescher, his 9th-place starting position indicates he is likely to lose too many positions to be worthy of DFS play, particularly for an inconsistent driver who has a history of crashing from top positions in overtime restarts, which are likely at Daytona.
