NASCAR heads to their first true 1.5 mile track this season for all 3 series starting tonight with the Truck Series in action. Clean air, restarts, and track position are going to be some important factors for the high speed action on track tonight. This will be the first real test for the season for the Truck drivers as they did not race last week in Phoenix. They have a good amount of 1.5 mile tracks throughout the season so this will be a good week to see how drivers are going to measure up to the field this season. We are likely to see 1-2 dominators in the race lead the majority of the laps so picking the right few is going to be important for this DFS slate.
Potential Dominators
Ty Majeski
Tyler Ankrum
Majeski was solid in practice and is one of the few top drivers starting towards the front since a lot of fast drivers qualified outside the top 10. He led a lot of laps here last year and should be one of the top contenders again this season. Ankrum was one of the best truck last year at Las Vegas as well and he looks like he is fast again this year. He led the field in 5 and 10 lap averages in practice and should be a threat in the race tonight.
The rest of the top drivers that I think will be fast start outside of the top 10 tonight. I have listed them below as place differential plays but I will not be surprised to see them get to the front fast and lead laps in the race.
Place Differential Plays
Corey Heim
Layne Riggs
Grant Enfinger
William Sawalich
Ben Rhodes
We have some top drivers that start farther back in the field this week and maybe one of the top plays in Corey Heim. Heim's team didn't expect their trucks to qualify well so he starts back in 16th but he was fast in practice. He should be able to move through the field and be one of the top contenders for the race win. Riggs has been one of the fastest truck at the end of last season and into this season and he should have another good run tonight. He starts back in 23rd so he has a lot of room to move forward and is a great place differential play for tonight. Enfinger had top 10 speed in lap averages and starting back in 20th he has good place differential potential. He should be a solid choice for the race. Sawalich is in another one of the Tricon Trucks that did not qualify well so he has a lot of place differential potential for the race. He should have top 15 potential with upside for more in the race. Ben Rhodes looked good in practice but qualified in 15th so he is another that should move forward and be a top 5 contender by the end of the race.
Cheap Options
Bayley Currey
Matt Mills
Matt Crafton
Nathan Byrd
With a lot of the top drivers qualifying farther back in the field it limits the amount of cheap options that are obvious for DFS lineups. Currey was top 5 in lap averages in practice and 1.5 mile tracks are some of his better results in NASCAR. He is a great cheap option tonight with upside for a top 10 finish if things go well for him in the race. Mills is a bit of a flier play because of the limited cheap plays but he starts in 24th and should have top 20 potential in the race making him a solid value play at $6300 salary on Draftkings. Crafton's salary keeps getting lower and even though he starts 11th I think he is still a usable option under $7000 salary. He still should have top 10 potential even though he has struggled a lot in the last year but he could still end up as a great value play. If you need a real cheap option Nathan Byrd starting dead last might get you a few positions if some drivers fall out of the race and he stays out of trouble.
