Pocono Cup 2

For some reason, Draft Kings released salaries for Race 2 earlier this week so we now have a situation where the cash game plays are obvious and we'll have many duplicate, chalky lineups. At most, we've only got about 10 smart cash game plays that most people should be on to. At the very least, we'll have overlap of at least 4-5 drivers on almost every roster.

On these weeks, I limit my cash game exposure, play some tournaments with a few less popular drivers and keep more money for a better slate where we have an edge.

Obvious big position difference plays--

• Ryan Newman (37th)
• Cole Custer (38th)
• Ross Chastain (33rd)
• Matt DiBenedetto (32nd)
• You could add Corey LaJoie (36th) here, but I'd probably stay away from him because I'm not sure how good or reliable a Spire backup car is going to be. Newman, Custer and Chastain are all going to back up cars as well, but they're with bigger teams who should have a backup car that is about as good as the primary car. You could still use LaJoie if you want to save some extra money here to get a more expensive stud from the next list who you feel is a must have.

Obvious potential lap leaders who also have position difference upside--

• Kyle Larson (12th)
• William Byron (18th)
• Kyle Busch (19th)
• Alex Bowman (20th)
• Denny Hamlin (17th)
