Can Shane van Gisbergen Have Another Good Run At Martinsville?
2 days agoOne of the big surprises at Martinsville last fall was Shane van Gisbergen, who wound up finishing 12th last November in his very first start at the half-mile race track despite starting back in 29th. At a track that's super hard to pass at and as a driver making his first Cup Series start at the track, that was incredibly impressive. Now the question is, can SVG pull off a similar result this weekend? The No. 88 Chevrolet will roll off the starting grid from 33rd-place when the Cook Out 400 goes green on Sunday afternoon, so van Gisbergen will have to work hard to make his way through the field. However, SVG was ninth-quickest in practice on Saturday afternoon, so it's not like his Chevrolet is lacking speed--at least when it comes to one single lap. SVG never made a long run in practice, so it's hard to tell how the No. 88 Chevrolet will race. It's a bit of an unknown what to expect out of van Gisbergen this weekend, but with Place Differential upside (starting 33rd) and a low salary on DraftKings ($5,900), it's definitely worth having exposure to SVG with your DFS lineups this weekend.
