Ross Chastain qualified 32nd for this weekend's GEICO 500 at Talladega, but starting positions don't really matter here as long as you miss the wrecks. Chastain has been a solid performer on drafting tracks as he has made an on-track pass for the lead in eight of the fourteen NextGen drafting races to date including a win at this race two years ago, but he isn't likely one of the favorites either as this isn't his best track type. His only win at Talladega was rather lucky as he took over the lead almost by accident when Erik Jones's drafting help crashed behind him and this year his teammate Daniel Suárez has essentially matched him if not bettered him in performance on the drafting tracks in what has not been a good year for him other than his win. Chastain's odds of winning are probably less than you think, but he makes a strong DFS play.--Sean Wrona - RotoBaller
