Sleepers -
Michael McDowell - McDowell has some amazing numbers at the plate tracks and especially at Daytona. He has been a stud here lately in the finish department. In 6 of his last 7 Daytona races, he has finished in the top 15. Yes, 6 of the last 7 races. Including 5 straight top 15 finishes. During that time span, he has posted 10.6 average finish with 18.4 average running position and 72.4 driver rating. Not the greatest ''performance'' numbers in the series, but pretty damn good for him. If McDowell can keep his nose clean, then there is a good chance that he can finish at least in the top 20 and maybe more.
AJ Dinger - Dinger is a very underrated guy on the plate tracks, in my opinion. He is not a great plate racer, but he can be a very effective option. At Daytona of late, he has very consistent. In his last 7 races at Daytona, he has not finished worse than 21st. In his last four races here, he has not finished worse than 13th. Including 3 straight top 10 finishes at Daytona. Of the two plate tracks, this is one that I would recommend him at. For whatever reason, he has a knack for finishing well here at Daytona. Until he get a DNF, I am gonna keep employing him in my certain fantasy leagues. He's worth the risk, if you are in limited starts sort of fantasy league!
Other great options - Darrell Wallce Jr and Paul Menard
Dark Horses -
Ryan Blaney - It is a little suprising that Blaney haven't won on a plate track yet, with how often he is up at the front at both Daytona and Talladega. In 4 of his last 5 Daytona races, he has finished in the top 20. In this season's Daytona 500, he was very strong. He led 118 laps on his way to 7th place finish. He probably had the car to beat in that event, in my opinion. That 12 car was impressive, so 7th place had to a little disappointing for him. The Penske Fords are always strong on these plate tracks. There is a reason why everyone point at his teammates as two of the best plate racers. And Blaney isn't too far behind anymore. Watch out for the 12 car!
Austin Dillon - Dillon has a knack for finishing strong at Daytona. In his last 9 races here, he has posted 6 top 10 finishes. Incluidng a win in this season's Daytona 500. I didn't agree how he got the win (some of that had to with - Aric Almirola was my fantasy pick), but the only thing mattered was the checkers flag. He took the checkers flag. Really, he has only had two poor finishes since the 2014 season at Daytona. In 7 of his last 9 races at Daytona, he has finished in the top 15. He has a chance to make it 8 of 10 in tonight's race!
