Is Todd Gilliland A Driver To Target This Weekend At Martinsville?
8 months agoAfter posting the seventh fastest practice time (20.141), Todd Gilliland improved slightly during qualifying by posting a time of 19.921, which was fast enough to earn the 16th starting position for the Cook Out 400 at Martinsville Speedway. Entering this weekend, Gilliland has just one top-20 finish this season and currently sits 26th in the NASCAR playoff standings. While fans of the second-generation Cup driver are waiting anxiously for a breakthrough performance from the young driver, don't expect that performance to come this weekend at Martinsville. Although he won the 2019 Truck Series race at this track, his DFS numbers over his four Cup starts are not impressive, and this is with a top-10 in one of these races. In his four Cup starts, Gilliland has averaged just 19.24 DraftKings points, which ranks 24th among full-time drivers in the series. Even with a 50% increase in production, which would place him at 28.86 points, he would still fall below value on his $6,200 salary, making it hard to justify playing him in DFS this weekend.
