Ross Chastain qualified 24th at Daytona. He holds a one-point advantage over Bubba Wallace for the final spot in the playoffs after passing him on track on the final restart at Michigan to salvage a pyrrhic victory. Although he has never scored a top five finish at Daytona, he came very close in the Daytona 500 when he attempted a pass on leader William Byron at the same moment Corey LaJoie made slight contact with Austin Cindric which sent him into Chastain and resulted in both drivers spinning. Chastain has a certain bravado that may make him likelier to pass for the win more than many other drivers, but his history of overtime crashes this season may lead him to play it safe by focusing on collecting stage points over winning, so the odds of him winning may be less likely than if he was already locked in the playoffs.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
