Shane van Gisbergen's season continues to meander in an aimless way as he continues to struggle to learn oval racing. Week after week, he is one of the slowest drivers on every oval and it's hard to imagine that changing until it actually happens. 1.5-mile ovals are arguably his worst track type as he finished 34th at Las Vegas and 32nd at Homestead. Although he did finish 22nd last week at Texas, that was almost entirely because pit strategy and attrition elevated him to a better finish than he deserved, and Kansas doesn't tend to have as much attrition as Texas. Clearly SVG and his team seem to be treating oval races as gap weeks between road courses, but this could easily backfire since with Trackhouse Racing's lack of speed he seems more likely not to win a road course before the playoffs than to win on one. He should likely be avoided on all non-drafting ovals for DFS play, even at $5,000.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
