The Low Tier – Homestead

 Landon Cassill – Among low-tier drivers, I think Landon Cassill has the most upside and in 8 of his last 10 races this year he’s finished 25th or better. At Darlington at the start of the Playoffs, Cassill finished 25th. In his two Playoff incident free races at 1.5’s his results were 22nd (Texas) and 24th (Kansas). At Homestead when he last raced here in 2019, Cassill finished 28th. In his three starts prior to that his finishes were 31st, 23rd and 21st.

Cody Ware – At Homestead, I would just pencil in Cody Ware as a high-twenties to low-thirties driver and call it good. In the three most relevant races in the Playoffs this year his results are 32nd (Darlington), 27th (Kansas) and 27th (Las Vegas). Last year at Homestead in his only Cup start, Ware finished 32nd.

JJ Yeley – JJ Yeley actually has BJ McLeod beat in the average finish column at high-speed 1.5-mile tracks this year, and it’s that his 30.0 average finish is worse than McLeod’s on this sub-track type. At Homestead, Yeley has finished in the 30’s in 9 of his 11 starts, with his two outliers being results in the 40’s. In 2020 when he last raced here, Yeley finished 38th due to fuel pump issues. In the two races prior to that his results were 30th and 32nd.

BJ McLeod – At Homestead, look for BJ McLeod to finish just ahead of the DNF’ers. McLeod has four starts on his resume here, and his average finish over the combined events is 34th. Last year he finished 34th, and in 2020 he finished 35th. In 2022 at high-speed 1.5-mile tracks over the combined events, McLeod has a 28.3 average finish and a 31.6 average running position. In the two Darlington races this year his results are 29th and 32nd.
