Xfinity Series Kansas DFS Picks

The NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to Kansas for their first race of their playoffs as they start their round of 12. The Series only races at Kansas once a year so their last race here was last year but they have gone to a few other 1.5 mile tracks earlier this season. We again are probably looking at 1 or 2 main dominators to pick in your lineups so getting the right lap leaders in your lineups is one of the most important factors for this race.

Potential Dominators

Justin Allgaier

Cole Custer

Chandler Smith

Aric Almirola

Justin Allgaier is one of the top drivers in the series every week and he should be one of the top contenders again this week. He was fast in practice with some of the top lap averages in the session and was one of the best playoffs cars. He starts 9th so he even has some place differential points that comes with him. Cole Custer has been the other top driver this season and starts up in 3rd. He had top 5 speed in practice and is a potential option to lead laps today. Chandler Smith looked to have one of the best cars on the long run as he moved up the lap averages chart throughout a run. He has had a good season and I think he should be a top contender today starting up in the 2nd spot. Aric Almirola is in the field today as the veteran will be running the next several races in the series for Joe Gibbs Racing. He was one of the fastest car in practice as he was first in 10, 15, and 20 lap averages and I expect him to have a chance to be one of the top dominators. He seems to have top speed, great equipment, and the experience to be a threat for the win today.

Place Differential Plays

Riley Herbst

Sammy Smith

Anthony Alfredo

Herbst didn't make any long runs in practice so we don't have great practice data to go off of for him. However, 1.5 mile tracks is his best track type and usually has been at these types of tracks. He starts 16th so he should move forward and at least have top 10 potential and upside for more. Sammy Smith had one of the best cars in practice this week with top 5 lap averages on the 10+ lap runs. He has struggled recently as he hasn't been up front contending for top 5's much, but he has run well on 1.5 mile tracks this year. I think he can run top 5 today and be a solid option. There are not a ton of mid range place differential plays today but Alfredo could be a solid option. He usually qualifies a little higher and runs in the top 15 most races. He could be a solid value but I also don't mind Parker Retzlaff or Jeremy Clements as flier options in this range too.

Cheap Options

Daniel Dye

Kyle Weatherman

Leland Honeyman

Brad Perez

Daniel Dye spun in practice so he didn't get much practice time so we don't really know how good he will be in the race. He qualified towards the back in 30th so he has a lot of place differential potential as you would expect this Kaulig car to have at least top 20 potential. Weatherman got loose on his qualifying run so he starts farther back than he should in 33rd. He didn't make any long runs in practice so he is a bit of a question mark as well like Dye, but he usually runs around 20th and should have that type of potential today giving him solid place differential potential. Honeyman is a bit of a flier play as he didn't have great practice speed and did not go out for qualifying. But he starts last and should at least have top 30 speed with top 25 upside based on how much speed he has compared to the other back markers. He is a solid option at his price and can be a good value. Perez is really cheap on this slate and he could be a great option for the race. He actually had really solid lap times in practice and could have top 25 potential for the race. He spun in qualifying so he starts on the last row and has the place differential potential to be a good pick.
