Daytona 500 is days away and let me guess you're still searching for that big-time bargain play , aren't you? I knew it. Well so have I and found some really excellent hidden plays. Honestly the difficult part about undervalued drivers is identifying them. They can easily overlooked and most times they're. Below I listed 4 undervalued drivers heading into Saturday final practices for Daytona 500. Enjoy!
1. Martin Truex Jr - Truex have won over my love like a box of chocolates. And boy do I love my chocolate. He been impressive since unloading at Daytona. Don't be fooled though , Martin been pretty good over past 8 seasons. In fact Truex have 9 Top 20 in his past 15 Daytona starts. Haven't found victory lane , but watch out for that 78. He was bad fast last Saturday and looking damn fine ever since.
2. Casey Mears - Mears had 4 straight Top 15 in 2014 on this type track , he was poised to be a popular sleeper. After an 3rd place run in the Unlimited race , its almost certain his value was on the rise. Then what happens? He blows an engine and his up-trending value comes to a halt. I still think Mears a useable option and quite frankly I think he gonna have a big day on Sunday. Past 4 of 6 Daytona(s) races have resulted in 20th or better for Mears. Including 3 Top 10s. Mears have given me no reason to not trust him. Only a blown engine. Unless someone else can provide hard cold evidence , I am willing to take chance with him.
3. Bobby Labonte - Among smaller teams , Bobby Labonte is arguably been the most reliable option at Daytona. He actually been better at delivering solid finishes than some larger teams. Think I am crazy? Its true though. Over past 12 Daytona(s) , Bobby have racked up 8 Top 20 in that 12 race span. What kills his value is his level equipment. But he does a excellent job of avoiding trouble (most times). Not saying he gonna win , but if you looking to escape Daytona with little damage. Then Bobby could be your guy.
4. Landon Cassill - I like what Landon brings to table. He only have 6 career starts , but he been able to finish with his car still in driving condition. He is one of the few youngsters who been able to keep his car fairly clean. Last season he finished 12th in the Great American Race. He won't have a lot value in most formats. But I think he is very useable in Yahoo Fantasy Racing. He tends to be an top 25 with major upside if he avoid the big one. A finish in the mid-twenties seems like the most likely outcome though.
