Draftkings Nascar - Goodyear 400 @ Darlington - May 8 2022

Your data driven approach to finding drivers is here. They call this the "track too tough to tame".. well lets see what PowerBi has to say about that! Dominators can be important based on the number of points available so keep that in mind as you pick your tables.

Drivers starting in the rear: Hamlin Elliott Harvick McLeod (as of now)

Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson are sporting the green dots aka leverage against the field.

Prev notes:

Larson, Truex, Hamlin, and Byron are going to be 4 to watch in regards to ownership. Note there are rumors that Byron may be starting in the rear so check twitter for updates on that. Kurt Busch also becomes interesting on the cheaper end of the spectrum. We will want to see which of these drivers are looking to take you to the promise land vs the back alley as more data comes in.

As far as chalk is concerned, Joey Logano will be the most interesting as far as right now. His ownership is not my favorite, but I can see how he got there. He shows up high in optimal percentages and odds of success. His PD points can hurt if he doesnt win but if he stays up front most of the race, it wont matter due to those static dominator points.

Updated optimal percentages move Logano above Harvick. Maybe he stays up there a while? We will find out soon.

Lets look a little closer into the scatter plot:

There are certain drivers who have direct pivots this week. Hamlin is intruiging if pivoting away from Larson, Reddick is intruiging as well from Harvick/Logano/Blaney. Dare I say that Wrecky Stenhouse is in play...

Check back later for updates!
