In a year when Trackhouse Racing has seemed to have lost a lot of speed, Daniel Suárez probably needs to place more emphasis on drafting tracks this year than in previous years since he is unlikely to have the speed to win anywhere else. He qualified 24th, highest of any of the three Trackhouse drivers. Considering some people think he might potentially be replaced by Connor Zilisch, who came one lap from winning yesterday's NASCAR Xfinity Series race, he might therefore be more motivated to perform in an attempt to lock himself into the playoffs like he did at Atlanta. Unfortunately, his record at Talladega is nowhere near as good as his record at Atlanta. He did earn three consecutive Talladega top tens relatively recently, but there are plenty of other drivers starting around or even behind Suárez who are better DFS options, starting with Suárez's teammate Ross Chastain.

If you have high expectations for Daniel Suarez at Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend, you should probably temper those expectations. Although he did have a few good runs here in Thunder Valley early on in his career, Suarez hasn't been able to do much at all at Bristol since the 2019 season. In his last seven starts at this track, Suarez hasn't finished better than 18th, and his best driver rating over that span is an abysmal 54.8. This weekend, the No. 99 Chevrolet struggled in practice, and Suarez was visibly one of the worst cars on the long run during the session. He ended up qualifying 23rd for Sunday's Food City 500. Although there is room for positive Place Differential, the likelihood of Suarez pulling off a better-than-normal finish is quite low. You should still have some exposure to him priced at $6,800 on DraftKings and starting 23rd, but it should be relatively minimal.

Daniel Suarez of Trackhouse Racing will start 30th for this week's Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. This is the third time since 2022 that Suarez will start a race at the site either 30th or lower. In 14 starts at the site, Suarez has five top-20 finishes, with three of them being scored since 2022. After the first seven races this season, Suarez has two top-20 finishes, but also five finishes with positive PD earned. In practice, Suarez ranked 25th in overall lap averages while displaying top-20 speeds in the 10, 15, and 20 consecutive lap average categories. Due to his high upside and practice speeds, Suarez is a driver worth consideration for all formats this week, despite his shaky history at Darlington.

Trackhouse Racing's Daniel Suarez will start 26th after qualifying for this week's race at Martinsville Speedway, the Cook Out 400. This race will mark the fourth consecutive race this year where Suarez will start outside of the top 20. In 16 previous races at Martinsville, Suarez had six top-20 finishes, with his last one being scored in April 2023. In six races so far this season, Suarez has two top-20 finishes while gaining a positive place differential four times. In practice, Suarez ranked 36th in overall lap averages, while only ranking among the top 20 fastest in 10 consecutive lap averages, indicating that his car is at its best on the short runs. Considering his practice speeds and how Suarez has yet to obtain positive PD in any Martinsville race since 2022, Suarez is not an ideal choice to roster in DFS lineups, especially when better alternatives are available in his salary range of $6,800.
