Regan Smith’s fantasy value for the Daytona 500
Kurt Busch is suspended for the Daytona 500 and in his place Regan Smith will drive the #41.
I like Regan Smith’s fantasy value for this race. From a career perspective I would argue this is his best track type.
Back in the day when he was a full-time driver in the Sprint Cup Series he actually crossed the finish line first at Talladega but NASCAR ruled he went below the yellow line which cost him the race.

Last year in the lower series in the season opening race at Daytona Regan Smith drove his JR Motorsports Car to victory lane.
In Smith’s last Sprint Cup race at Daytona he finished 7th.
I would say the bottom line about Smith is that if he can avoid trouble fantasy racers should expect him to finish in the teens. I will note I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see him finish in the top ten.

Thanks Ryan!! Great idea to post this info!

Thanks, I’ll probably do another one with the Kyle Busch situation.

Do you see any other driver that may fill in for Kyle that you would take over Regan Smith??

Can’t say that I do.

Hi Ryan, I can’t see your predictions for the 500, maybe I can’t see it. Thanks

I don’t see anything wrong with your account. I would say log out and log back in again and get back to me if your still having problems.

Would you say 17 and 41 are the best options for lower tier drivers this race?

I would say their good options, it all just depends on how the carnage unfolds IMO.
