Ty Dillon Overachieves This Week
3 days agoTy Dillon starts seventh in Sunday's Daytona 500 after finishing third in the first duel race at Daytona. He was directly behind Bubba Wallace on the final lap of the race until he switched lanes to pick up his Kaulig Racing teammate A.J. Allmendinger to attempt to draft around Wallace for the win. Unfortunately, he made slight contact with the wall, but he had unusual speed in the race. The speed he showed in his Duel race, along with Kaulig's general speed on superspeedways, suggests it may be valuable to make a nominal wager on him at 70-1 for the win. But the fact that he is starting so much better than he typically finishes, means he is unlikely to score enough points to make him a worthwhile option for DFS, even though the fact that he is the second-cheapest driver in the field at $5,400 might make it tempting on the surface.
