Ty Gibbs Will Start On The Pole In Sunday's Coca-Cola 600
6 months agoNorth Carolina native Ty Gibbs will make his first Cup Series pole start in Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. In his first Cup start at his home track in 2023, Gibbs was dreadful, finishing 26th after starting 19th, which earned him just 9.9 DraftKings points for his effort. However, and as has been the case all season with the 21-year-old, we cannot read too much into his rookie-year results when building our DFS lineups each week. In the 13 non-exhibition races this season, the Joe Gibbs Racing star is averaging 39.23 DraftKings, which is the sixth most among full-time drivers in the series. Likewise, his four appearances in the optimal lineup tie him for the second most in the series. In addition to the success he has had throughout 2024, which includes winning the All-Star Open just one week ago, Gibbs had tremendous success on this track at the Xfinity level. In the Xfinity Series, the second-generation racer not only earned a victory (2021) but finished in the top 10 in all four of his starts at that level. Given that he is a star on the rise, and that he has experienced a high degree of success at this venue, Ty Gibbs is a driver you will want to have some exposure to in DFS this weekend.
