After Surprise Daytona Run, Cole Custer Likely to Outperform Past Results at Atlanta
16 seconds agoAfter unexpectedly battling for the win in the Daytona 500, Cole Custer starts 23rd at Atlanta, considerably worse than most of the other Ford drivers in a race Ford looks poised to dominate. Although he hasn't had a very strong finishing record on drafting tracks in general in the NASCAR Cup Series, his speed last week, the Fords' speed in general, and the fact that most of the Fords qualified well ahead of him suggest there might be more value in starting him for DFS lineups than expected. Despite having an average finish of 25 in his three previous Next Gen Atlanta starts, he did earn a top ten in the 2022 summer race. Although his past statistical record does not look great, he is likely to outrun his past statistical record.
