Fantasy NASCAR Low Tier – Texas
Darrell Wallace Jr. – At Texas I would look for Darrell Wallace Jr. to likely be a high-teens to about mid-twenties driver. This year at both 1.5 mile tracks he’s been about a low-twenties driver. At Atlanta he was poised to finish in the low-twenties but he was involved in an accident that led to his misleading 32nd place finish. Las Vegas is the more similar of the two 1.5 mile tracks visited and at that venue he finished 21st, had a 23rd place average running position and earned the 23rd best driver rating. Last spring at Texas in the Xfinity Series Wallace finished 6th.

Ty Dillon – Ty Dillon doesn’t have very much upside at Texas. Realistically if you pick Dillon you need to be good with him coming home with a mid-twenties finish. This year at 1.5 mile tracks he hasn’t run well in either race. He finished 26th at Atlanta and 24th at Las Vegas. His results in both of those races reflect his level of performance. Last year at Texas on the new configuration he didn’t do anything to inspire confidence. Last fall he finished 24th and had a 26th place average running position. In the spring he was a little better. In that event he finished 17th, earned the 17th best driver rating and had an 18th place average running position.
David Ragan – At Texas I would look for David Ragan to likely be about a mid-twenties driver. Last year he didn’t run well in either event. In November 2017 he was a low-thirties driver who finished 5 laps down. When the checkered flag waved he finished 30th and had a 31st place average running position. Last spring Ragan finished 28th, had a 30th place average running position and earned the 30th best driver rating. This year at 1.5 mile tracks David Ragan has a pair of 23rd place finishes.
Matt DiBenedetto – Matt DiBenedetto will be a mid-twenties to about thirtieth place driver driver at Texas. Over the last six races at tracks of this length he has a 25.5 average finish. Las Vegas is the most similar track visited this year and at that venue he finished 22nd and had a 25th place average running position. Last year at Texas, DiBenedetto had a rough season. Last fall he finished 25th and had a 28th place average running position. In spring 2017 he finished 31st.
