3 days agoAlthough Michael McDowell has a reputation as a drafting expert because of his 2021 Daytona 500 win, the fact that he has eight top-10 finishes there and no more than four on any other track make him one to avoid this year. His actual finishing record at Daytona has not been so hot, as he has finished 28th or worse in four of his last five starts there and now he is driving for a Spire Motorsports team that has seemed to not be as fast as Front Row Motorsports on drafting tracks. However, he has brought his FRM crew chief Travis Peterson with him. McDowell was mostly a non-factor in his Duel race, starting ninth and finishing 12th en route to a 25th-place starting position in the Daytona 500. The fact that he is starting 25th indicates there is likely some DFS value, especially since he only costs $7,100, but there are probably better options elsewhere.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
