Why Alex Bowman May Be The Best Contrarian Play In The Coca-Cola 600
6 months agoAlex Bowman, who currently sits ninth in the NASCAR playoff standings, will start sixth in Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Entering this weekend, Bowman has been on a bit of a hot streak as he has four consecutive top-10 finishes and eight total for the season. Despite not having a win since 2022, the Hendrick Motorsports star has been a model of consistency throughout 2024, averaging 12.7 for his finish, which ties him with Denny Hamlin for the sixth-best average in the Cup Series. In addition to the consistency he has shown, Bowman has also been strong at Charlotte in the Next Gen car averaging 45.55 DraftKings points over the last two races at this track. Given that his projected ownership is just 6% for this race and considering how reliable he has been both this season and on this track, Alex Bowman looks like a sneaky contrarian play in DFS this weekend.
