3 years agoMartin Truex Jr. has not driven poorly of late but starting seventh might hurt from a DFS standpoint on Saturday at Daytona. It is not so much the different build but just the faster cars around him. Truex has not led any laps since Watkins Glen and has not led any laps on a non-road course since Pocono. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has little to race for as well. He does not do particularly great at Daytona (25th on oval, 12th on road this year). The No. 18 may slide back a bit earlier with some faster cars in Matt DiBenedetto and even Austin Dillon behind him. Especially from a DFS standpoint, Truex Jr. is a dominator that one may want to stay away from.--Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
