The rankings below are based on a mixture of expected output and DraftKings’ NASCAR salaries for that day. The ordering is not based on the highest projected fantasy totals, but rather by the value of each driver.

The DraftKings NASCAR Draft Top 250 slate locks at 3:38 p.m. ET on Saturday.

1. A.J. Allmendinger ($12,500) - Flat blanked turns require the precise braking that is also necessary to excel at a road course. Allmendinger was chalk several times in the Cup Series races at Martinsville. He’s earned a top 15 finish in 12 of his last 15 Cup races at Martinsville.

2. Ross Chastain ($9,700) - His back is against the wall, but Chastain has to like the spot that he is in. He’s only 15 points out of the playoffs and Martinsville is not an intermediate track where he is at a clear disadvantage. Better yet, Chastain is really good at Martinsville. He finished 2nd and 4th in the Truck Series races last season, and led over 50 laps in both races.

3. Harrison Burton ($10,300) - There might be a slight edge for Burton this weekend. Among the top tier drivers, Burton has the most recent experience at Martinsville. He did not run very well last year (finishes of 11th and 18th), but he has raced at his home track seven times with a best finish of 4th in 2017.

4. Noah Gragson ($10,000) - There is one driver in the field with a win at Martinsville. Gragson only led 10 of the 200 laps, but a win at Martinsville is a win. In his other three Truck Series races, Gragson finished 4th, 5th, and 7th for Kyle Busch Motorsports.

5. Austin Cindric ($11,100) - His three Truck Series races for Brad Keseslowki’s truck team are not very impressive, but he was a rookie. He finished 25th, 21st, and 10th. At least he showed improvement in his final truck race at Martinsville.

6. Myatt Snider ($7,100) - This is an egregious misprice. Snider is in the #21 RCR car this weekend and he’s starting 22nd. In his three Truck Series races at Martinsville (2018-19), he finished 6th, 3rd, and 6th.

7. JJ Yeley ($6,000) - The Rick Ware #17 was decent at The Roval. Although this car has only run one race this season, Rick Ware has been working with Bobby Dotter putting out cars weekly in the Xfinity series. Yeley has 18 cup races at Martinsville, he should have a good idea of how to earn a top 20 finish.

8. Brandon Jones ($8,900) - This is cheating. The field has almost no experience and they’re not allowed to practice, so what did Moneybags do? Jones bought a ride with KBM this weekend. He’ll get 200 Truck Series laps on Friday night to help him prepare for the Xfinity cutoff race on Saturday.

9. Justin Allgaier ($10,700) - Go back to the 2014-15 season, and Allgaier ran four Cup races at Martinsville over that time period. Despite racing for a small underdog team (HScott Motorsports), Allgaier earned finishes of 23rd, 17th, 42nd, and 13th.

10. Justin Haley ($9,400) - His Martinsville experience is not as recent as some of the drivers in the field, but it’s not as ancient as some of the drivers in the field. Haley earned two top 10 finishes in his final season in the Truck Series with GMS.

11. Brett Moffitt ($7,900) - DFS players have to reset their brain. Forget the names, teams, and manufacturers. Let’s refer to Moffitt as Driver X, so we are not distracted by 2020 stats. Driver X has recent experience at Martinsville. He has three top five finishes in his last five races at The Paperclip. Driver X is racing at Martinsville on Friday night. Is Driver X a favorite to win?

12. Chase Briscoe ($11,500) - In 2017, Briscoe ran two Martinsville Truck Series races for Brad Keselowski’s truck team. He finished 11th in the spring race, and 19th in the fall race. Briscoe won the pole for the fall race and proceeded to not lead a single lap.

13. Jeb Burton ($8,500) - Let’s time travel back to 2013. Jeb Burton led 154 laps in a Truck Series race at Martinsville and finished 3rd behind Matt Crafton and Johnny Sauter. He has raced at his home track 12 times. Last year, he competed in a Martinsville Truck and Cup Series race.

14. Riley Herbst ($9,100) - Every week, Herbst is at a disadvantage. The top tier Xfinity drivers have practiced and raced at each track. This week, all things are equal. Few drivers have relevant or recent experience. They’re all noobs this week.

15. Brandon Brown ($7,500) - His best finish in a Truck Series race at Martinsville is 14th. Brown finished 24th and 27th in his other two Truck Series races for his father’s team.

16. Ryan Sieg ($8,100) - There is one scenario where Ryan Sieg makes the championship race. If all of the top tier drivers wreck out, then Sieg can sneak in through attrition. It’s not far detached. Last year’s playoff Truck race was an absolute debacle, and that was with practice.

17. Jeffrey Earnhardt ($5,200) - In his three Martinsville Cup races and his one Truck race, he did absolutely nothing. Those races were in inferior equipment, so it’s hard to evaluate his ability. He’s not in a great car this weekend, but it’s better than what he has driven at Martinsville previously.

18. Jeremy Clements ($7,800) - He’s never raced at Martinsville before, but he’s starting 23rd. Clements won’t be the most popular middle tier play. Myatt Snider’s ownership will likely make Clements seem irrelevant, but in a wreckfest, Clements has some value.

19. Gray Gaulding ($7,600) - Qualitatively, his Martinsville experience isn’t great. Quantitatively, he has nine races at Martinsville, and that’s better than most of the field. It’s a Bobby Dotter car starting in the back, and his salary is affordable.

20. Josh Reaume ($5,300) - This is your warning - The #93 RSS car has parked plenty of times in the past. Myatt Snider is moving into the RCR car this weekend, so the #93 is open, and on the entry list, it’s listed as having a sponsor. Reaume is racing on Friday, so he’ll be in good shape on Saturday.

Three races remain in the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series season as the sport heads to Texas Motor Speedway for the running of the AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 500. Indeed, the number three looms large over the sport itself heading to this 1.5-mile oval.

 

Just three bids remain for the Championship 4 finale at Phoenix Raceway. Seven drivers will jockey for them after Joey Logano clinched his spot with a win at Kansas Speedway last weekend. It's win-or-bust for Kurt Busch after a blown engine in that event but the other title contenders could still make it in on points. Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, Chase Elliott, Alex Bowman and Martin Truex Jr. are the other half-dozen eligible.

 

Speaking of Harvick, he's got three straight fall wins at Texas Motor Speedway. One more matches the streak Jimmie Johnson put up from 2012-15. He's the heavy favorite entering this event after leading 85 laps at Kansas Speedway this weekend; indeed, Harvick has been one of the best with the low-horsepower, high-downforce package this year. Three of his nine wins (five if you count Darlington) have come on the intermediate tracks that dominate the NASCAR circuit.

 

But the No. 3 reminds us how Texas can still spur an upset. Austin Dillon clinched a playoff position here back in July by utilizing pit strategy and track position. Keeping old tires to get out front, he took advantage of a package that favors clean air and leads to limited passing on the newer TMS asphalt. If you don't pick off your prey within a few laps after a restart... you're likely running behind them for the rest of that green-flag run. Just ask Harvick about that after Kansas.

 

In news further back in the pack, three high-profile drivers are likely making their final Texas starts before heading off into retirement: Clint Bowyer, Jimmie Johnson and Matt Kenseth. None of the trio have come close to winning in recent weeks but are desperate for one last hurrah.

 

And three single-car teams are now officially cutting back or selling off their inventory altogether for 2021. What will the disappearance of Go FAS Racing, Germain Racing and Leavine Family Racing mean for the lower-tier, independent owner trying to make it in the age of COVID-19?

 

Their short-term futures will continue to shake out over what's likely to be three aggressive stages Sunday. Texas tends to swing back and forth from a track with long green-flag stints to a caution-filled, slugfest-type affair. I'd expect the latter on Sunday after 10 cautions ruffled up the field, and some fenders, back in July.

 

We'll see who comes through to start this three-race sprint. So much remains on the line as the NASCAR Cup Series season heads toward its dramatic conclusion.

Who's at the Front: Team Penske

All three Penske cars finished in the top seven during the Cup race: winner Logano, fourth-place Brad Keselowski and seventh-place Ryan Blaney. Overall, the team itself is battling with Joe Gibbs Racing for best in class within a multi-car organization.

 

Consider JGR had only three of its four teams make the playoffs: Penske went three-for-three. If the season ended today, they would have two cars in the championship, the most of any organization (JGR and Stewart-Haas would have one). Plus, their satellite team at the Wood Brothers, driven by Matt DiBenedetto, was runner-up at Las Vegas Motor Speedway last month before coming one yellow-line blunder plus inches away from winning Talladega Superspeedway.

 

Who's at the Back: Kurt Busch

It was a rough way to start the Round of 8 for Busch to suffer his first blown engine with Chip Ganassi Racing. Unfortunately, while new for Busch at CGR it's a pattern the organization knows all too well. Back in 2017, Kyle Larson blew an engine at Kansas to throw a potential Championship 4 appearance in the toilet (it sparked four straight DNFs). In 2018 and 2019, it happened at least once in the playoffs once again although both times, the No. 42 team had already been eliminated from title contention.

 

CGR gets their engines, of course, from Hendrick Motorsports, an organization that has two other drivers battling against them for the 2020 championship. It creates a bit of an awkward look for a partnership where HMS always has a leg up.

 

News Briefs

 

NASCAR Xfinity Series title contender Chase Briscoe will be promoted to the Cup Series next year with Stewart-Haas Racing. Briscoe will take over the No. 14 Ford vacated by Clint Bowyer as he moves over to the FOX booth beginning in 2021. Briscoe has won nine times in NXS thus far, exceeding a goal of eight wins he said back in February was needed to keep Cup owners paying attention to him. Looks like the hard work paid off.

 

Erik Jones has also found himself a home for 2021, replacing Bubba Wallace at the No. 43 of Richard Petty Motorsports. Jones will look to earn that single-car effort its first playoff appearance since 2014 after a three-year stint driving Joe Gibbs Racing Toyotas. Jones failed to make the postseason this year but is ending his tenure with the No. 20 on a high note. He’s earned four top-four finishes in seven playoff races to date.

 

Not surprisingly, Michael Jordan's new team will run the No. 23 made famous by its namesake in 2021. Root Insurance also announced a partnership with driver Bubba Wallace as the team, named 23XI Racing, gears up its financial support for the coming season.

 

NASCAR by the Numbers

 

31

Lead-lap finishes in 33 races for Kevin Harvick. He’s failed to complete just two laps all season (an astounding 8,766 of 8,768).

 

2

Finishes of dead last for Matt Kenseth this season, including Kansas Speedway after a crash. That equals the number of top-10 performances he’s earned during a disastrous season as an interim driver for Chip Ganassi Racing.

 

Playing the Odds (Fantasy Spin)

 

Top Tier

 

It's hard not to start Kevin Harvick on any roster considering his Texas track record. Three straight wins in the fall race, dominance on cookie-cutter ovals, starts on the pole Sunday... you could go on and on.

 

But let's say you need room to build a roster without him at the top. Joey Logano has eight top-seven finishes in the last nine races at TMS and has nothing to lose: it's win-or-bust as an automatic Championship 4 participant. Denny Hamlin will also be a bit cheaper than usual, too, as a Texas win in the spring of 2019 is the only top-20 finish at this track in his last five starts. That combo might work as, no matter what, you need a top-tier driver here that will get out front early and lead plenty of laps.

Middle Tier

 

Once upon a time, Jimmie Johnson won those four straight fall races at Texas. He's had just one top-five finish in his last six starts at this facility but that track record is somewhat deceiving when you consider he's led 111 laps. The seven-time champion has to have one last hurrah to go out on some sort of high note... right?

 

Matt DiBenedetto will be a relatively inexpensive option after no top-10 finishes at TMS in 10 career starts. But the driver of the No. 21 Ford, who signed a one-year extension with the team, enters this race with momentum after a runner-up finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He's a cheap dark horse pick.

 

Lower Tier

 

Rookies, rookies, rookies. Christopher Bell (21st in July) is running the final Texas race for Lone Star State owner Bob Leavine, who's selling off his No. 95 team after the season. You'd think they would pull out all the stops for this one and, after all, Bell was 10th at Kansas last Sunday.

 

Then there's second-place July finisher Tyler Reddick, in position to succeed again with Richard Childress Racing. I would even take a flyer on Cole Custer, July's Kentucky winner, who is driving a No. 41 car that ran top 5 in both Texas races last year.

 

What Vegas Thinks

Kevin Harvick leads the way here, as you might expect, with 5/2 odds according to vegasinsider.com. Denny Hamlin is next at 5/1 followed by Joey Logano at 15/2.

 

Think Jimmie Johnson could pull a rabbit out of his hat? He’s sitting at 40/1 longshot odds.

And then... there were eight. The semifinal round of the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs starts Sunday with the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway. Just four races remain to complete a season no one thought might happen at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic several months ago.

 

But despite a year filled with uncertainty, the Round of 8 along with its participants is set to be (gasp) predictable? This round is the only one with two cookie-cutter, 1.5-mile ovals in Kansas and Texas Motor Speedway next Sunday. Long green-flag runs should be on tap under a 550-horsepower package where the cream typically rises to the top. Strategy takes center stage at these places with most passing confined to the first few laps after a restart.

 

That said... Kansas and Texas were two of the more competitive intermediates on the schedule this year. Those tracks combined for 21 cautions earlier this summer, a season high for this type of oval. At Kansas, there were also 21 lead changes, including a final pass for the win between the two drivers favored to win this year's championship: Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick. (Hamlin came out on top.)

 

Harvick was in position to win Texas, too, before a series of late-race cautions and pit strategy put Richard Childress Racing's Austin Dillon and Tyler Reddick out front in clean air. You never know when even the cookie-cutter ovals decide to bake up an occasional surprise.

 

That said, Hamlin and Harvick will be heavily favored to win both this weekend and next. Each one has a solid cushion on the field and should make the Championship 4 barring some major in-race catastrophe.

 

Behind them? Well, that's anybody's guess. The best drivers truly did make this year's Cup Series Round of 8: all five multi-race winners in 2020, the top six in laps led, and top seven in average finish. If the playoffs never even happened, all but Alex Bowman (9th) and Kurt Busch (11th) would remain inside the top eight. It's the strongest group to make the semifinals in recent memory.

 

Any of them would be a compelling story if they advanced. Bowman and Chase Elliott are bidding for their first Championship 4 appearances and the first for Chevrolet since Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson's first title in 2016 (can you say changing of the guard?) Kurt Busch can accomplish that for Chevy while working to set a different record: most years in between Cup titles (Busch won his only championship way back in 2004).

 

On the Ford side, Team Penske's Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano are battle-tested and always impressive in the final race of this round at Martinsville Speedway. Then, there's Martin Truex Jr., the 2017 series champion who's made a habit out of playing the bridesmaid this season. (He has one win but a whopping 10 finishes of second or third.) People often forget him in the list of top-tier drivers on the circuit but a second title in four years would change perception for good.

 

The jostling among them all starts Sunday as the Cup Series begins its final month of 2020 competition. Can any of these eight playoff drivers punch the first ticket into the Championship 4?

Who's at the Front: Chase Elliott

Chase's father, Hall of Famer Bill Elliott, won his first Cup race on a road course at the now-defunct Riverside International Raceway in 1983. He never won on that type of track again.

 

Like Father, unlike son? Chase has become the best left and right-turn driver on the circuit, sweeping the 2020 road courses with a victory in last Sunday's Bank of America ROVAL 400. Elliott now has four wins in a row at this type of track and has finished outside the top 10 just once in the past two years: a blown engine in June 2019 at Sonoma Raceway.

 

Who's at the Back: Kyle Busch

The reigning NASCAR champion won't defend his title in 2021, ending a five-year streak of Championship 4 appearances. A blown call by crew chief Adam Stevens led to defeat last Sunday at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL. Busch stayed out while the rest of the field pitted during a late-race caution, gaining track position but not having enough fuel to finish the race. Forced to pit later, without the rest of the field in tow, the 30th-place result left Busch plummeting out of the playoffs and raised questions about whether the six-year partnership between he and Stevens is on the verge of divorce.

 

News Briefs

 

Kyle Larson has officially applied for NASCAR reinstatement. Larson spoke with "CBS This Morning" Friday and revealed the news, again expressing remorse for the racial slur uttered this spring that got him suspended from NASCAR competition. The incident led to his dismissal from Chip Ganassi Racing but chatter is growing Larson will be back in the sport full-time next year with a top-flight organization.

 

One potential NASCAR Cup Series rookie is off the table for 2021. Brandon Jones has chosen to re-up with Joe Gibbs Racing in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and their No. 19 Toyota next season. Jones, a contender for the championship there, had been rumored for some lower-tier Cup rides after three wins in 2020 but will stay the course with JGR and hope a spot opens up for 2022.

 

Congratulations are in order to Dale Earnhardt Jr. and wife Amy. The couple is celebrating the birth of their second child, Nicole Lorraine, which Dale Jr. announced on his weekly podcast, the "Dale Jr. Download." Both mom and baby are doing well as Dale Jr. still plans to be in the booth as an analyst for NBC on Sunday afternoon.

 

NASCAR by the Numbers

 

33.0

Kyle Busch's average finish after three Cup starts at the Charlotte ROVAL.

 

3

Wins by A.J. Allmendinger in his last 15 NASCAR Xfinity starts with Kaulig Racing. In the 'Dinger's previous 12 years racing NASCAR, he had three wins total in the sport’s top three series: Cup, Xfinity and the Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series.

 

Playing the Odds (Fantasy Spin)

 

Top Tier

 

It seems like a copout to put Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick in this space. Trust me; it's not. You're better off here putting the two best drivers on your roster and then finding a way to build around them despite the cost.

 

These two were fast at the Kansas race this summer and there's no reason to believe it'll be different this time. Hamlin's won the last two races held here, dating back to last fall; Harvick won in 2018 and has led a total of 389 laps here in the last four years at this track. Expect them to be up front, racking up more stats and fastest lap bonuses that can only help you win.

Middle Tier

 

Quietly, Erik Jones is putting together a heck of a 2021 audition as he prepares to leave Joe Gibbs Racing after the season. Despite missing the playoffs, he has four top-four finishes in the last six races; that's more than any other Cup driver, period. Expect the momentum to continue at a track where he ran fifth back in July.

 

Aric Almirola has gone eight years since leading a lap at Kansas, let alone being in contention to win. But you'll need some lower-priced drivers with the Hamlin-Harvick combo and he's one people will overlook. Sixth in July, he's running for pride now after getting knocked out of the playoffs with Stewart-Haas Racing and has top-10 quality equipment.

 

Lower Tier

 

Ryan Preece continues to suffer through a miserable season with JTG Daugherty Racing. But he's also quietly put together three top-15 finishes in the last four races in a bid to keep driving the No. 37 car in 2021. A near top-10 finish (12th) in the Kansas race last fall, he's worth taking a flyer on; a year's worth of bad luck had to average out at some point.

 

Michael McDowell continued a better-than-expected season at Front Row Motorsports with a 16th-place finish at Kansas in July. He's struggled as of late, posting two finishes outside the top 30, and should be due for a rebound as he fights to finish inside the top 20 in points.

 

What Vegas Thinks

Denny Hamlin leads the way at vegasinsider.com with 4/1 odds at press time. Kevin Harvick sits second with 9/2 odds and Chase Elliott is third at 11/2.

 

Kurt Busch and Alex Bowman have the longest odds of anyone in the Round of 8; they're both sitting at 22/1.

Five races down, five races remain in the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. Charlotte Motor Speedway plays host to the Bank of America ROVAL 400 this weekend, a race on the infield road course that will officially cut the playoff field from 12 to 8.

 

Where is the championship chase at halfway? Roughly where it was before the postseason started. Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin remain overwhelming title favorites; they've combined to win three playoff races already. The other two spots in the Championship 4 next month feel like they're up for grabs but contenders have emerged largely as expected. All five drivers who have won two-plus races this season are poised to advance to the Round of 8 without much of a problem: Harvick, Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, Chase Elliott and Joey Logano.

 

But there's one glaring name missing from this list, the drama of a winless season finally coming to a head: Kyle Busch. After a series of wrecks at Talladega Superspeedway last weekend, the reigning champ enters the ROVAL in desperation mode, sitting some 21 points below the cutline. Barring a miracle comeback, 2020 will become Busch's self-fulfilling prophecy after losing a frustrating race at Bristol Motor Speedway last month. "We'll be eliminated in the next round [the Round of 12]," he said then. "So don't care."

 

Trust me... Kyle Busch cares. A lot. What we should be focused on is just how big a deal Busch missing the Championship 4 would be. He's made the final round the past five years, winning the title twice (2015, 2019). During that stretch, Busch won 27 Cup races, 16 poles and carved out a Patriots-like method of advancing at all costs in a postseason designed for parity.

 

Missing 11 races with a devastating foot injury? Just a tiny bump in the road. Busch roared back in mid-2015, winning multiple races to make the playoffs, then the title itself. And a year like last season, when Busch suffered through a 21-race winless drought? No problem. He timed good runs just right to make it past each round before cashing in the championship finale.

 

Looking back, Busch has made the best Jimmie Johnson impression possible in this elimination-style format. But 2020 has seen a long list of uncharacteristic mistakes. He's wrecked out five times, the most for Busch since his rookie season of 2005. He's created controversy, like wrecking Elliott on the straightaway at Darlington Raceway back in May. And old rivals have been seeking revenge, like Logano posting up the perfect block in denying Busch a September Bristol victory.

 

The end result may be the first winless Cup season of Busch's career. Overall, he's won just four times in NASCAR's top three series, his lowest total since 2012, while the Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series team he owns failed to advance into the Round of 8. 414 laps led in Cup and 17 top-10 finishes are Busch's lowest career totals for a full season since 2014.

 

Back then, the slump came with consequences as Dave Rogers finished up a six-year tenure as Busch's crew chief. His 2015 replacement, Adam Stevens, is just finishing up year six. Will a change atop the pit box be inevitable if Busch winds up the odd man out after the ROVAL?

 

The other drivers in position to be eliminated are ones you didn't expect to advance as Aric Almirola, Clint Bowyer and Austin Dillon have combined to win just once this season. Kyle Busch may be the only one capable of upsetting the apple cart.

 

Can Busch use just the third-ever Cup race on CMS' infield road course to produce a Cinderella-style comeback? The ROVAL has already produced a rich history of fantastic competition. On paper, it feels like the reigning champ is doomed but counting Kyle Busch out is a fool’s errand.

 

Just his desperation alone to advance makes Sunday’s race worth watching.

Who's at the Front: Matt DiBenedetto

Sure, Denny Hamlin wound up the victor in another wild Talladega finish. But this race will be remembered for DiBenedetto's valiant charge to stay out front in the closing laps. In the end, a second-place finish got taken away through a controversial call he went below the double-yellow line. The same non-call handed Hamlin the victory and sparked strong debate within NASCAR circles on whether the rule should be abolished.

 

The run should have been Matty D'’s second straight runner-up result, a 1-2 punch of a rally since getting knocked out of the 2020 playoffs. His reward for all that? Finding out the No. 21 Ford he drives will be his for just one more season. When will a race team take a chance on this 29-year-old over the long-term?

 

Who's at the Back: Christopher Bell

This Toyota prospect cant make his way to Joe Gibbs Racing soon enough. Talladega was a new low for this rookie as Bell blew a right-rear tire, sparking the Big One after only one lap was complete. A 39th-place finish was his 14th straight outside the top 10 as this freshman stumbles through a final season for soon-to-be dissolved Leavine Family Racing and their No. 95 Toyota.

 

News Briefs

 

Matt DiBenedetto's loss is Austin Cindric's gain as the Team Penske prospect will take over the No. 21 Wood Brothers Ford... in 2022. Cindric, a five-time winner in the NASCAR Xfinity Series this season, will race there one more season before replacing DiBenedetto the same year NASCAR debuts its NextGen car in the Cup Series.

 

Clint Bowyer will move from Stewart-Haas Racing to NASCAR broadcasting beginning in 2021. Bowyer officially announced his retirement from the No. 14 Ford Thursday; come February, he'll move to the FOX booth alongside play-by-play man Mike Joy and analyst Jeff Gordon. Despite making the playoffs, this season was a disappointment for the 41-year-old as he's gone winless with just two top-five finishes. The decision potentially frees up the ride for Ford prospect Chase Briscoe, an eight-time Xfinity Series winner this season.

 

And the Hendrick Motorsports replacement for Jimmie Johnson is? Alex Bowman? Well, sort of. Bowman will move from the No. 88 to the No. 48 next season, taking over the Ally-sponsored ride Johnson is vacating through his retirement. That opens up the No. 88 Chevrolet which is not connected to any full-time sponsorship; instead, it's just a series of patchwork deals. Could that be a sign the organization is gearing up to hire Kyle Larson?

Playing the Odds (Fantasy Spin)

 

Top Tier

 

The ROVAL is only two races old, so take previous history here with a grain of salt. That said... it’s hard to ignore the recent success of Chase Elliott on road courses. The defending ROVAL winner has scored half of his eight career Cup victories on left- and right-turn tracks. He won at the only other ROVAL race this year, at Daytona in August, and even won on the Charlotte oval track back in late May. If that's not good mojo entering Sunday's race, I don't know what is.

 

I feel like this racetrack owes Brad Keselowski one. He led 29 laps in the inaugural Charlotte ROVAL event, back in 2018, before making a video game-like mistake while leading a late restart. A fifth-place finish last year wasn't complete redemption and, with some cushion above the cutline, Keselowski and crew chief Jeremy Bullins can be more aggressive on strategy in 2020.

Middle Tier

 

Clint Bowyer suddenly becomes the feel-good story of the weekend after announcing his pending retirement. A 3.5 career average finish at the ROVAL bodes well for him along with a previous road course win at Sonoma Raceway (2012). I doubt Bowyer can pull a rabbit out of his hat and win – he hasn’'t done so in two-plus years – but another top-five finish should shore up your fantasy roster.

 

Alex Bowman was banged around like a pinball in last year's ROVAL race. One incident caused a longstanding feud with Bubba Wallace. Yet by the checkered flag, he was sitting in second, posting back-to-back top-five results here despite a grand total of zero top-five finishes on any other road course. Poised to advance in the playoffs, another solid result could build momentum for an unlikely march toward the Championship 4.

 

Lower Tier

 

Michael McDowell's stronger-than-expected 2020 could continue this weekend at the ROVAL. He earned a 12th-place result at this track last year, was 10th at the Daytona ROVAL in August, and is generally regarded as one of the sport's better road racers.

 

Could Ty Dillon piggyback off his best-ever finish at Talladega last weekend (third)? He'll likely be cheap and ran a surprise 15th at the ROVAL last October in a race that's bound to have some attrition. Dillon could be the surprise filler on your roster that produces a top-15 result to get you over the finish line.

 

What Vegas Thinks

Chase Elliott starts the weekend a heavy favorite to capture a second straight ROVAL event. He rolls with 5/2 odds, well above Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. at 7/1. Kyle Busch, who likely needs a win to advance, sits at 14/1.

 

A crazy longshot pick would be Bubba Wallace, sitting at 350/1. Wallace has never won a Cup race but with how unpredictable the ROVAL can be? Those seem like good odds to take a flyer.

1. A.J. Allmendinger ($11,500) - Climbing through the entire field, then competing with Cindric is too much. Fortunately for Allmendinger, he doesn’t have to climb through the entire field this time. He is not the favorite to win, but a favorite to win. If he runs a clean race on pit road, then he can win this race.

2. Austin Cindric ($11,000) - The king of road course racing is trying to prove that he is ready for a 2021 Cup schedule that features a proliferation of road courses. The rumor at the moment is that Cindric will only receive a part time Cup schedule in 2021. The disappointment might fire him up or shut him down.

3. Chase Briscoe ($10,400) - He is a very good road course driver with a great pit crew. Of course, that’s all relative. Last year, Briscoe was a nobody when facing subpar competition. This year, he’s raced against clowns that make him look like P.T. Barnum. Briscoe should have beat the clowns at the Daytona Road Course race, but his luck on pit road finally ran out. From a non-preferred starting spot on a late race restart, Briscoe wrecked.

4. Noah Gragson ($9,800) - His stats are impressive. Gragson has a top 10 in each of his seven road course races. He has five top five finishes. Gragson starts on the pole, and passing at this type of track isn’t easy.

5. Jesse Little ($5,400) - The Daytona and Indy road courses are roval type tracks, and Little finished 18th at both tracks this season. Little is starting second to last and he’s one of the cheapest drivers on the slate.

6. Stephen Leicht ($4,600) - Most of the time Leicht is the distinguished start-and-parker for Carl Long, but not at the road courses. Leicht is priced like he is going to park, but in his three road races this season, he’s finished 21st, 21st, and 22nd. Leicht might go under owned because the fear of a start-and-park or a real mechanical failure always looms large with Carl Long.

7. Justin Haley ($9,400) - His aggression at the end of the Indy GP led to a second place finish, but it could have easily turned a top five into a finish outside of the top 20. At the Daytona Road Course, Haley’s aggression led to an early exit.

8. Alex Labbe ($7,700) - The Canadian has plenty of experience road racing in the Pinty Series. He also has plenty of experience road racing in the Xfinity series. Labbe has earned a top 10 finish at a road course in every season of his three year Xfinity career.

9. Riley Herbst ($7,300) - At the Daytona Road Course, Herbst finished 7th without any practice. It wasn’t a lucky finish either, he had the 7th best driver rating. If he did it at Daytona, then he can do it again, and a 6x return is not a stretch.

10. Kyle Weatherman ($6,100) - Similar to Jesse Little, Weatherman finished 17th at Daytona and 15th at Indy. Little is cheaper and starting a little further back, but Weatherman makes for a great pivot. Both will be very popular, but Little is driving more dependable equipment.

11. Josh Bilicki ($7,000) - He has a road racing background, but his Xfinity results have been mixed. Bilicki has looked good at times, but only on a few occasions has he put together a complete race. However, his last two road races were those occasions.

12. Preston Pardus ($8,300) - Check the rankings articles for Road America and Indy for the background on Pardus. He was expected to be very good this year in his races with Mario Gosselin, and he has lived up to those expectations with two top 10 finishes.

13. Ross Chastain ($9,600) - It was always going to be this way. Chastain is a bubble driver. He has a mere seven point lead on Harrison Burton. Chastain does not have enough points to play it safe, and playing it safe is not a part of his vocabulary. This might not end well.

14. Justin Allgaier ($10,700) - With a 20 point playoff cutline cushion, all he needs to do is avoid wrecking. Easier said than done for Wall-gaier. He’ll play it safe, but his spot in the next round won’t be safe until he crosses the finish line, if he crosses the finish line.

15. Jeremy Clements ($8,500) - Here’s the obligatory mention of his 2017 Road America win. His road racing history is not just one lucky race. He’s earned a top 10 finish at Indy, the Roval, and Mid Ohio.

16. Jade Buford ($7,400) - No one had ever heard of Jade Buford before this season. The limited knowledge that DFS players had was his Wikipedia page. Now, he’s got three top 20 finishes, two with Bobby Dotter and one with JD Motorsports. He’s back with Dotter this weekend, and will likely grab another top 20 finish.

17. Harrison Burton ($8,900) - The Harrison Burton fans are well aware that he’s only trailing Ross Chastain by seven points for the final spot in the next round of the playoffs. For those that aren’t Burton fans, which is everyone other than his mom, this is meaningless news. Are the Xfinity playoffs a thing?

18. Kody Vanderwal ($4,900) - This is borderline crazy. There is plenty of value available this weekend, so Vanderwal is for the galaxy brains only. He’s starting in the back and he’s dirt cheap. He rarely earns top 30s this year, but there has been one exception - road courses (23rd, 27th, and 28th). He’s just out there cruising like it’s a backroad while everyone else is tearing their cars up.

19. Gray Gaulding ($6,000) - It’s a Mike Harmon car, so this is for the pivoteers only. Gaulding is better than a $6,000 driver and he’s starting in the back. He doesn’t have a great road course history and this car could break down on any lap, but Kyle Weatherman earned a couple top 20s at road courses in a Mike Harmon car this year.

20. Austin Hill ($7,600) - This will be his first road race in the Xfinity Series. In the Truck Series, Hill has two 5th place finishes and an 8th place finish in his three road course races.
