Todd Gilliland Overvalued At Daytona 500
3 days agoAlthough many people expected Todd Gilliland to be a significant contender for the Daytona 500 pole, considering how many poles his ex-teammate Michael McDowell won in his No. 34 car last year, he only qualified 14th before both starting and finishing seventh in the second Duel race, where he was not really much of a contender even though his Penske quasi-teammates all were. Since he didn't really contend there, it seems less likely he'll move through the field than expected, so he is unlikely to be that valuable in DFS lineups because he is starting better than he usually finishes. It seems the departure of Travis Peterson from Front Row Motorsports may have weakened the team's competitiveness on these tracks. Bettors should likely stay away from him in all categories.
