How Many Points Did Denny Hamlin Cost Kyle Larson Managers?
1 year agoWith six laps to go in Sunday's HighPoint.com 400 at Pocono, Kyle Larson was competing with Denny Hamlin for the lead when the two made contact on Turn 1, causing damage to the No. 5 Chevy Camaro. While the controversy of this incident will likely dominate NASCAR talk shows this week, the talk in the fantasy community should be just as loud. The actions of the now seven-time Pocono winner had a major impact on fantasy contests, as Larson went from scoring 52.6 points on DraftKings, down to just 15.6 following the accident. This 37-point swing in the closing laps of the race should serve as a reminder about how volatile NASCAR DFS can be and why you should never go overweight on any one driver.
