NASCAR DFS Playbook
Start with the race format and projected finish, then revisit your build after qualifying. Starting position changes place-differential potential; a race favorite is not automatically the best salary value. Model win percentages refer to winning the race, not your DFS contest.
Charlotte: forecastable slate, build around the dominator.
