As usual, Ross Chastain qualified poorly for today's Brickyard 400, where he starts 33rd while both his teammates, the lame duck Daniel Suárez and rookie Shane van Gisbergen surprisingly outqualified him. Since Chastain's racecraft has improved and he crashes much less than he used to, he's definitely a strong choice for DFS Place Differential points. He has gained 12 or more positions in his last three starts here, and his 17th place finish in 2020 for a Spire Motorsports that was far slower than it is today was very impressive. The issue is that several other drivers like Denny Hamlin, Chase Elliott, and Ryan Blaney also qualified poorly and all of them are likelier better options, but if you want to save some money to spend on the rest of your team, Chastain might be a solid second-tier option even though he has not had a top ten at Indianapolis yet.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
