Todd Gilliland May Struggle At Bristol, But You Shouldn't Avoid Him In Fantasy
2 hours agoIt may be a long race on Sunday for Todd Gilliland, as the Food City 500 is set to take place at Bristol Motor Speedway and 500 laps are scheduled to be run in "Thunder Valley" with tire concerns running rampant for all teams. Gilliland will roll off the starting grid from 30th-place and could find himself a lap down early due to that poor track position to start with. Additionally, the No. 34 Ford hasn't shown the most speed this weekend. In addition to being pretty slow in qualifying, Gilliland was 34th-fastest on the practice speed chart (out of 39 drivers) and ranked 33rd-fastest in 10-lap average (out of 34). With that being said, because of how volatile races at Bristol can be, and because of Gilliland Place Differential upside, you should have some exposure to the Front Row Motorsports driver in DFS this weekend at his $6,200 price tag. Gilliland does have a couple of respectful finishes here at Bristol in his four career starts, finishing 18th and 16th in his first two attempts in 2022 and 2023.
