Charlotte Roval
The Xfinity Series will be tackling the last road course race of the season at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The “Roval” utilizes both the infield road course and the NASCAR oval of Charlotte Motor Speedway with a couple of chicanes thrown in. We have a low number of laps this week so plade differential plays will be crucial. Weather forecast predicts rain for this weekend which means we could see rain tires in use for this race. For lineup building, using the Daytona road course race, as well as, the race road course race at Indy will be your best bet.

DFS Race Preview
We have a very short race with some obvious top tier plays. Place differential points will be key even for the elite drivers like Cindric, AJ Allmendiger, Briscoe, and Allgaier. We are going to try playing 2-3 of these drivers and pair them with the best value plays possible. This race feels like it will be a good bit chalky so taking chance on some lesser projected plays is wise. We have a few driver swaps to pay attention to for this week with Kaz Grala back in the #21 for RCR, Jade Buford in the #07, and Preston Pardus in the #90. All 3 are very good road racer and will certainly be major DFS factors this week. Austin Cindric and AJ Allmendinger will be the ultra chalk for good reason thus making them potentially great fades to try and separate yourself from the field.
If you are new to NASCAR check out this article I wrote explaining lineup creation!
Favorite Top Tier Play: Chase Briscoe
Cindric and Allmendinger are going to be ridiculously high in terms of ownership and while both are likely to end up on the optimal, Briscoe is the perfect pivot off of them. Briscoe won the first race here at the Roval and he also took Cindric and AJ on head to head at the Indy road course race and won. He also had 26 laps led and 10 fast laps at the Daytona road course. He could come in at half the ownership of Cindric and is a real threat to outscore him straight up.
Favorite Value Play: Josh Bilicki
This is my overall favorite play of the race. Bilicki has scored 34.0, 41.0, 39.3 DK points in the 3 road course races this year. He starts 32nd and will offer top 15 upside which is mega. At only $7,000 that is extreme value for a driver who I have supreme confidence in.
