After Leading Most Laps in Last Year's Race, Todd Gilliland Looks to Finish the Job
2 mins agoAlthough Todd Gilliland performed slightly worse than expected in the Daytona 500, he now returns to the site of his greatest race last year where he led a career-best 58 laps before suffering minor damage in a crash late in the race, which relegated him to a 26th-place finish. It seems like his Front Row Motorsports team has lost a little speed on these tracks since Michael McDowell's departure and is now clearly slower than the Penske cars, which was somewhat less obvious last year. The history of FRM drivers tending to finish worse than they start on these tracks suggests that DFS players probably shouldn't start him, but given both his and Ford's recent speed here, he might be a great bet in other categories as he is 40-1 to win, 11-1 to podium, and 5-1 to earn a top five on DraftKings and his probabilities for each are likely better than that.
