Matt DiBenedetto Going To Backup Car
5 years agoAfter making contact with the wall during qualifying, Matt DiBenedetto and the Wood Brothers Racing 21 car will be bringing out the backup car for Sunday's Coca-Cola 600. That will leave DiBenedetto bringing up the rear when the race begins, but because he did manage to post a qualifying lap before the change, he'll be scored from the 33rd position. There's definitely room for DiBenedetto to take what should be a fast race car and get up into the top-25, though the place differential points aren't quite as good as they would have been if he'd gotten credit for starting 40th. Aric Almirola is being scored as the 40th place starter and has more upside than DiBenedetto if you're looking to grab someone with a starting spot at the back of the field, but DiBenedetto still has plenty of DFS upside.
