Although William Byron seemed like the favorite in his All-Star Heat Race on paper yesterday since he started third and has been a better short track driver than Brad Keselowski and Ross Chastain lately, Byron finished third and did not seriously contend for the win in his heat race and got passed by Ross Chastain, a typically worse short track driver who qualified considerably worse. Considering Byron is a better short track driver than most of the people who outqualified him, it would be tempting to start him for DFS points for leading, but the fact that he was unable to take the lead last night suggests he might be likewise unable to do so tomorrow, particularly when a better short track racer in Christopher Bell is starting in front of him. He probably qualified too well to start for DFS since he doesn't look likely to dominate, especially since he costs $9,500.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
