NASCAR DFS Pit Stop: NXS Production Alliance Group 300
By Matt Vecchio
Welcome to NASCAR DFS Pit Stop for Saturdays NXS Production Alliance Group 300 from Auto Club Spreedway in Fontana, California. Another weekend and another Kyle Busch victory in the Xfinity series. Busch dominated the weekend at ISM but especially so on Saturday.
Busch led the majority of the race, 116 laps, without winning either of the first two segments. As the race progressed and being chased down Stephen Leicht went up in a puff of smoke, taking out Christopher Bell and Just Allgaier in the process and assuring Busch of the victory. After the #20 of Bell and #7 of Allgaier went out (Allgaier did get back out and finished 14th) nobody could keep up with Busch, even though Ryan Truex tried and would finish second behind Busch.
Once again Kyle is the highest priced driver for the Xfinity series this weekend at $15,000, which if you use him will only leave you $7,000 per driver. If you want to go that route you will most likely get the win from Busch, but if somehow he doesn’t win you will most likely have a bad day.
NASCAR DFS Betting Lines:
KYLE BUSCH -145
CHRISTOPHER BELL +450
COLE CUSTER +780
JUSTIN ALLGAIER +1050
TYLER REDDICK +1150
RYAN PREECE +2000
AUSTIN CINDRIC +2750
BRANDON JONES +3250
NASCAR DFS: Leaders of the Pack
Justin Allgaier ($11,300)
2018 Finishing Position: 2nd
Allgaier, along with Christopher Bell, were the only ones who really had cars that could have chased down Kyle last week, but they both were involved in the same late race incident. Last year at Fontana Allgaier finished 2nd only behind Xfinity Invader, Joey Logano. After final practice on Friday Allgaier has the fastest car and looks like he will challenge Kyle again today.
Tyler Reddick ($10,700)
2018 Finishing Position: 7th
Allgaier was #1 in practice on Friday, and guess who was #2? Yep, Tyler Reddick. Last season the defending Xfinity Series Champion finished 7th at Fontana and with the way his car looked Friday, and if he can avoid any wrecks, he will finish inside the top 5.
Other Options: Christopher Bell ($12,500), Cole Custer ($10,200)
NASCAR DFS: Middle of the Pack
Brandon Jones ($9,300)
2018 Finishing Position: 13th
Jones had a good final practice finishing with the 10th and his car looks to be good in long runs with his fastest lap coming in his 16th lap of 24 laps run. If you take out his poor finish in Vegas because of his hard hit into the wall, Jones has a 50.3 DKFP per race average, and hasn’t finished outside the top 7.
John Hunter Nemechek ($8,800)
2018 Finishing Position: 29th
I am not really paying any attention to JH Nemechek’s 2018 finish because he is in better equipment this season and has been a solid driver in all 4 races this season. Nemechek has 3 top tens this season and in all 3 races has bettered his qualifying position for positive place differential points.
Michael Annett ($7,800)
2018 Finishing Position: 18th
Michael Annett and his JR Motorpsorts Chevy have been one of the best drivers this season and will look to get his second win of the season this afternoon. Annett has not finished lower than 12th this season and is averaging 45.6 DKFP per race.
Other Options: Noah Gragson ($9,100). Chase Briscoe ($8,500), Ryan Sieg ($8,000)
NASCAR DFS : Back of the Pack
Gray Gaulding ($7,200)
2018 Finishing Position: N/A
Depending on where he qualifies, Gaulding could be a good plus place differential (which is rare in the Xfinity Series). Gaulding has finished inside the top 20 each of the last 3 races and is averaging 28.6 DKFP per race
Ray Black Jr. ($6,900)
2018 Finishing Position: N/A
Ray Black has been meddling in the middle of the pack all season but is averaging 26.1 DKFP per race .
Jeremy Clements ($6,700)
2018 Finishing Position: 15th
Clements has been picking up some big DKFP for a his price this season. If you take out the debacle that was Daytona for Clements, he is averaging 30DKFP per race and is averaging a 15,3 average finishing position.
Other Options: Garrett Smithley ($7,400), Josh Williams($6,600), Brandon Brown ($6,500), Tommy Joe Martina ($5,400)
