2 years agoThe ink may not even be dry on a contract extension keeping Alex Bowman in the No. 48 Ally Chevrolet at Hendrick Motor Sports through 2026, and he went out and raced his way to his third Daytona 500 pole. Bowman dominated both laps in qualifying on Wednesday, and his fastest lap (181.686) even surpassed the pole-winning speed of teammate Kyle Larson (181.159) in 2021, the first season of the NextGen car. For DFS purposes, starting on the pole is not a welcomed spot at superspeedways like other tracks in NASCAR, with all the attrition throughout the race and the ever-present chance for getting caught up in "the big one." Over the last six races at Daytona, Bowman has an average finish of 18.7, a number only slightly better than his average finish of 20.0 on all superspeedways over the same timeframe. Some other place, some other time, Bowman starting on the pole would be a solid play for DFS, but not this weekend, outside of multi-entering in tournaments. Even then, there is significant risk.--Eric DeWilde
