The skies a gloomy as we had to Dover this weekend. The weather my effect things as the weekend progresses so make sure you stay tuned. As always, the research is just getting started, so think about getting signed up and get exclusive access to our projection model, the domination station lineup optimizer, and most importantly, direct chat room access to some of the sharpest NASCAR minds in the industry. I will be on there all weekend updating everyone on my research.
Top Plays
Clint Bowyer – Old Clint got bit by the inspection bug this week which means two things. He will start 33rd, and he will be fast. Clint has a top five car starting towards the back at a low incident track. This is a great play with low risk.
Kevin Harvick – Harvick has been a rocket on the 1.5 mile tracks this year and I dont expect much to change this week. He has the fastest short run car, and will probably end up with the fastest long run machine. He has four top tens in a row at Kansas, and is poised to perform better than ever.
Kyle Busch – It has been a two horse race so far in 2018, so it should be no surprise that Harvick and Busch are the two fastest cars at the track. KB starts 3rd, which presents a bit of risk. However, I anticipate Kyle Busch to lead a good chunk of this race. There is a small chance both Busch and Harvick are in the optimal, but a BIG chance one of them is.
Kyle Larson – Larson is the only one in the same league as KB and KH so far in 2018, and he actually looks to have comparable speed this week. he spun in practice, but didn’t hit anything. He starts 22nd, which will limit risk. Keep in mind – Kansas has been a really miserable track for Larson so far in his career – so play it safe.
There not Top Plays or Value plays, but I think Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney are worth a look too.
Fades
My fades have been near useless this year, so I am going to refrain from giving them out for a while. Everyone is in play.
Values
Kasey Kahne – I STILL believe in Kasey Kahne. WEEK after WEEK he runs well and then gets into trouble late in the race. Kasey Kahne always turn in a serviceable performance at Kansas, and will start 34th. He is WAY under-priced. A great play.
Matt Kenseth – I wasn’t going to recommend Kenseth this week, since there will be some growing pains in his new role at Roush. However, you have an elite driver starting 35th at just $7100. That is impossible to ignore. If nothing else, Kenseth should take care of his car and finish the race.
Daniel Suarez – I don’t like this play for any reason except the fact that Suarez is super under-priced. He starts in the dead-zone – 14th – but he has top ten speed. He is a good tool to fit nothing by elite drivers and cars into your lineups.
Matt Dibenedetto – Punt play of the week. A pretty decent punt play actually. He starts 37th and should compete for a top 30, and maybe squeak out a top 20.
So there it is folks. We will be talking more strategy on the DFS Army Slack Room right up until lock. Get signed up and get exclusive access to our projection model, the domination station lineup optimizer, and most importantly, direct chat room access to some of the sharpest NASCAR minds in the industry. As always, use my research as a launching point for yours. Trust your process, good luck this week, and let’s make some cash.
