While Chris Buescher has seemed to maintain his consistency of recent seasons, he and RFK Racing in general have seemed to lose a lot of speed as he has not led a lap in the first nine races of 2025. Even though he qualified sixth at Talladega, a track which is traditionally conducive to a lot of lead changes, don't expect that trend to necessarily change today as he also qualified sixth for the Daytona 500 and never led that race. He qualified well enough that he should likely be avoided for DFS unless you think he is likely to dominate the race and earn a lot of lap leader points. Since he has a Ford and has won at Daytona, that's not impossible but the RFK Fords have never seemed to have as much speed as the Penske or even Front Row Motorsports Fords on drafting tracks of late and he has historically tended to be better at Daytona than Talladega.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
