Zane Smith starts 30th for today's race at Dover, smack dab in between his Front Row Motorsports teammates Todd Gilliland and Noah Gragson, who start 24th and 36th respectively. It's unclear what effect NASCAR's revocation of FRM's charter will have on the team's performance, especially after their appeal was denied. However, it's pretty rare for teams to DNQ anywhere except the Daytona 500 these days so it will likely have little effect. Smith has been the best FRM driver all season and is likely the best option for DFS play, especially when noting that he improved from 37th to 24th in last year's race, indicating he has some definite potential for Place Differential points. However, Dover is a track where speed tends to be paramount because it is so easy to be lapped and FRM doesn't have a lot of speed. He's worth a shot if you want to start several more expensive drivers, but there are better options elsewhere.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
