Todd Gilliland Has Surprising Upside For Daytona 500
9 months agoIf you're looking for a sneaky DFS play for the Daytona 500 this year, look no further than Todd Gilliland. He starts back in 31st for this year's Great American Race, giving the No. 38 Ford plenty of room to move forward and grab valuable place differential points, but many DFS players will likely shy away from Gilliland due to his poor track record at Daytona (and in the Cup Series overall). With that being said, Gilliland has made eight superspeedway starts in the Cup Series and has an average finish of 10.0 when he isn't involved in a major incident. In other words, if the No. 38 Ford can survive the carnage in the Daytona 500, Gilliland could very well be a great fantasy play to pick for the Great American Race.
