Corey Lajoie's Starting Position a Liability in DFS This Weekend
8 months agoCorey Lajoie will start fifth in Sunday's EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuits of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, TX. Despite finishing 11th in this race last year, there is little reason to be excited about Lajoie this weekend in DFS. In 24 Cup starts on road courses, he has never finished in the top 10 and has an average finish of 25.3. While there is something to be said about driver development, particularly given that he did move up 16 spots in last year's race, the fact that he has failed to crack the top 20 in the two races using the new short/road package suggests there is still work to be done. Based on a starting position that is likely to result in negative place differential and considering that he is averaging just 14.95 DraftKings points in the package that will be used for Sunday's race, it is recommended that you fade the No. 7 in DFS this weekend.
