Wawa 250

NASCAR heads to Daytona this weekend for the second time in 2023. For those of you that aren't new to NASCAR DFS, you know that races on superspeedways are a different animal for us. As always, but especially this week, I recommend not making any lineups until we know the starting positions for these drivers. You will want to focus on place differential drivers this week as dominator points will likely be spread throughout the field with different cars taking the lead from another every few laps. This is a race where you just build the right way in terms of limiting exposure to the top ten or fifteen and let the chips fall where they may.

Remember, don't build until we see starting positions but the plays above are drivers that I am looking to target as long as they are not starting too far forward. Hill was the winner here in the spring both this year and last. He has shown to be very good at superspeedways and is one of the few plays I will still consider if he starts inside the top ten. Parker Kligerman is a veteran who I am fine with taking a shot on to be around at the end of this race and Jeb Burton has some strong history at Daytona showing he understands what it takes as well. Riley Herbst has been top fifteen in the last four races at Daytona including three top-10's. Parker Retzlaff is another solid value option who I hope starts 20th-or-further back. He finished fourth here in the spring. Lastly, Jeremy Clements was a winner here at this time last year and while he doesn't have great history otherwise, I have seen improvement from him over the last few years on superspeedways.
