Ryan Preece is on the pole for Saturday night's Cook Out 400, and with just two races left until the cutoff for this year's Playoffs, he will need to have a major performance if he wants to feel good about his postseason chances next weekend at Daytona. Of course, a win at Richmond would lock him in no matter what happens at Daytona. Preece truly excels on short, flat tracks, and he posted a fifth-place finish here at Richmond in 2023 while he was with Stewart-Haas Racing. This season at similar tracks, he has a 15th-place finish at Phoenix, a seventh at Martinsville, and a fifth-place result to his credit--all of which came after starting 21st or worse in those races. Preece should be able to parlay his track position to start the race and his track type prowess into a good run on Saturday night. In terms of DFS, he's a pretty cheap option at $7,600 on DraftKings, and an early dominating stint from the drop of the green flag should help Preece easily hit value. --Jordan McAbee
