Ryan Preece May Need Help From Chris Buescher's Setup
8 hours agoRyan Preece starts 28th at Austin on Sunday. He is not particularly known as a road racer, having only posted two top-10 finishes in 21 road-course starts, but he did have one of his all-time best moments at the inaugural race in 2021 in Austin when he passed Ross Chastain for the lead in the rain. However, that came with the previous Gen 6 car, and he's rarely shown much with the Next Gen chassis. Sometimes drivers can benefit from being teammates of strong road racers who can help with setups, so there is a possibility Chris Buescher may be able to do that for Preece, but since Buescher himself qualified a mere four positions better than Preece and finishes in the top-10 more than any other driver on this track type of late, he's a much better choice for DFS play than Preece, even though Preece is cheaper.
