5 years agoStewart-Haas Racing's Aric Almirola spun during qualifying for Sunday's Coca-Cola 600, causing him to fail to post a qualifying lap. That means Almirola will roll off the grid in 40th on Sunday night, making him a solid DFS pick due to his potential to pick up fantasy points via place differential. Almirola might not have the quickest car in the world on race day -- Stewart-Haas showed a lack of speed during qualifying, with none of their drivers starting better than 20th, though they could have been more focused on race set-ups -- but he will have a significantly better car than the ones that he's starting around and should be able to move up towards the top-25 fairly quickly. There's always the risk of an incident happening when a driver is mired back in the pack, but Almirola's upside makes him worthy of a spot in your lineup.--Justin Carter - RotoBaller
