Dave’s Drivers to Watch – NASCAR DFS – Alsco Uniforms 500

The four day race extravaganza ends Wednesday at Charlotte with the Cup race running 500 km. The field was set using Sundays final race results. The top 20 was once again inverted and we have a front row of William Byron and Alex Bowman. The dq of Jimmie Johnson makes things interesting especially with the pricing Draftkings put out for the clear place differential plays. This race is much shorter the Sundays Coca Cola 600 so dominators for this race are going to be 1-2 in my opinion especially with the inverted lineup and pd options.

Jimmie Johnson (DK $12,300 FD $11,200)

Jimmie finished great on Sunday in the Coca Cola 600 except for the fact that his car failed post race tech and got DQed. He now starts 40th and is the safest play on Wednesday. Draftkings did a great job making Jimmie the highest priced driver so it makes you have to think about how much Jimmie you want to play. We know how fast Jimmie has been this season and saw how good he was Sunday in the race. I fully expect to see Jimmie work his way up and finishing top 10 gaining a bunch of place differential points which will be great for cash games.

Chase Elliott (DK $9,400 FD $13,000)

Chase and the next two guys I’m going to talk about are some of the standout performers from Sunday. Had it not been for a late race caution caused by his teammate and then an unfortunate pit call, Chase would have won the race. There are some good options around Chase as most offer some pd upside along with dominator potential. Chase has been fast all season and that speed has continued after the shutdown. Chase is due for a win and he may get his redemption on Wednesday.

Martin Truex Jr (DK $9,400 FD $14,000)

Another race where we start in daylight/dusk and end at night at a track where Truex has one of the highest driver ratings in recent races, sign me up for more Truex. He proved it again on Sunday leading 87 laps and he starts 15th giving him some place differential upside along with dominator upside. With the place differential options and a dominator a little cheaper Truex will probably be a tournament play for me but will be overweight on him there.

Alex Bowman (DK $8,700 FD $12,200)

Well Draftkings did a good job on the place differential guys, I think they could have priced him and his teammate up a little more because I see either him or Byron getting decent ownership in cash games with that early dominator potential. Bowman is probably going to be more popular since he just dominated a good portion of the race leading 164 laps but dropped back at the end of the race after that late caution. He has been fast all season and will have a good shot once again Wednesday to secure another win.

Ryan Newman (DK $7,500 FD $7,000)

The first thing you see after plugging in some of the top pd plays and a dom play is that the value for this week is BAD. I mean its not good at all. There is going to be some tough decisions you will have to make with value this week. Ryan Newman will be a popular pick starting 27th and having great upside. Newman had issues not of his own doing on Sunday which put him back in this position but Ryan has been top 15 since coming back after his accident.

Ryan Blaney (DK $7,900 FD $10,400)

Blaney has been good all season but had some bad luck finishing races. He finished 3rd after the Jimmie DQ on Sunday and looked good doing it. At his price on DK he is intriguing in tournaments as he has some of the same upside as MTJ, Chase, Harvick but is around $1500 cheaper then them. In hsi last four races here he has finished top 15 three times and don’t think that another top 5 finish is a crazy thought. I will definitely have some good tournament exposure to Blaney Wednesday.
