Atlanta xfinity & trucks

I'm never going to have a complete rundown on Xfinity or truck races because of the short time between qualifying and the race.  So much depends on starting spot and I just don't have the availability to post updates on here after qualifying.  I still like to provide a few notes that could help in making some of those roster decisions:

Xfinity

• Alex Labbe is under priced at $5,300.  Lock him in barring a crazy high starting spot.  In fact, I like the salary for both he and his DGM teammate Josh Williams at $6,500.
• Gragson ($9,000) and Cindric ($9,800) seem favorably priced just below the top tier.
• Of the top tier, I think I like Allgaier the best at his price -- subject to starting spot in qualifying, of course.
• The last three years, this race has been dominated by Cup series guys crossing over -- Harvick, Logano, Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson.  It will be fun to see the Xfinity guys duke it out this year, but it leaves us with a little less clear picture of how we can expect it to shake out.

Trucks

• Harrison Burton and Grant Enfinger look like good mid-value plays to me.  Both are in top notch equipment.  Burton has not run in the truck series at Atlanta, but finished 6th and 11th in the two truck races he did run at 1.5 mile tracks last year.  Enfinger has finished in the Top 10 the last three seasons at Atlanta and finished in the Top 8 in seven of the ten races at 1.5 mile tracks last year.
• What to do with Kyle Busch?  At $15,000, it is really hard to build a credible lineup with him in it.  You would have to have two or three salary punts and the punts are really bad in the truck series.  If you do use multiple punts, I would look at Spencer Boyd, Jennifer Jo Cobb and Cory Roper.  In 10 races at 1.5 mile tracks last year, Cobb never finished worse than her starting spot.  That said, she still usually finished from the mid-20s on back.
• While it's easy to expect Busch to dominate, he's actually struggled at times in the truck series.  In his last two Atlanta races, he's started 1st or 2nd but finished 21st and 26th.  He was in four truck races last year at 1.5 mile tracks.  He won at Kansas and led 55 laps.  He finished 2nd in two other races with a total of 1 lap led in those two races.  In Atlanta last year, he started 1st, finished 21st, but led 67 laps.  So he didn't really dominate any of those races from start to finish -- which is what you would need to give a lineup with his salary any chance of winning. 
• I'm leaning toward fading Busch in cash games and maybe using him in a few tournament lineups.  That could change if he doesn't start up front or if extreme value opens up elsewhere to where we can make the salary work.
