Homestead-Miami Speedway
For the third week in a row, the Xfinity Series will be racing in the beautiful state of Florida. This time they head down to Homestead for the first 1.5 mile race of the year. Drivers can utilize every lane from the bottom all the way to the top of Homestead which creates some fun racing. The track surface is incredibly abrasive and wears tires out quickly. This makes long-run speed ultra important. Tire fall off will be 3 to 4 seconds per lap by the end of the green flag run. Cautions are usually few leading to fairly straightforward races. Starting lineup will be set by formula.

DFS Strategy
For this race, I like to run with 2 dominator lineups most of the time. The only thing that will throw this off is the fact that there are so many top place differential plays for this race. I will use a DS setting of at least 1 dominator but with super high ownership on guys like Allgaier, Allmendinger, and Gragson starting deep. You will have to attack these drivers with the place differential. Their upsides are just too good to be ignored. Because you will want to play so many top-priced drivers, you will need to find 1-2 super value plays to save on salary. Don’t stress too much though, we are coming off a week where DK made Ty Gibbs $4,700.

Favorite Xfinity Series Play: Tyler Reddick
This isn’t really that hard of a play. Reddick starts 38th and has top 5 upside. His car will not be as good as in past Xfinity races here but he is still the best driver in the field here. The place differential he offers is mega and he should be a top scorer on the slate.

Trucks: 6th, 3rd, 2nd

Cup: 4th
