After coming agonizingly close to winning at Texas -- a track where he'd never even placed in the top 10 before -- Michael McDowell comes to Texas with momentum and a Spire Motorsports team that seems to have speed on every intermediate track. His Kansas record isn't much better than his Texas record, as his only top-10 finish here came in last year's race, and he's only ever led three laps at Kansas. He does qualify well here somewhat frequently, and his 11th-place run in Saturday's qualifying is consistent with that. In all probability, McDowell will finish worse than he starts and be very costly for DFS play. However, on paper, he should've been a worse choice at Texas than he turned out to be as well, so if you think he can bring similar speed here, he might be worth considering, especially because not many people will want to pick him based on his past record and where he's starting.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
