Two of the biggest pillars of driver selection in daily fantasy NASCAR are track history and current form. Knowing where drivers sit on both of those spectrums is going to make our lineups look a whole lot nicer at the end of the race.

By looking at which drivers have excelled at this week's track in the past and those who are currently racing well, we can know which drivers are in line to be good plays for the slate. That's what we're going to try to do today, dividing drivers into those two buckets with noteworthy track history or current form.

Clearly, this isn't to say that all of these drivers will be great plays in this race. A lot of that will be dictated by where they start and the scoring history at that track. To read more about what strategies we need to deploy based on starting position, check out FanDuel Price: $12,100): Because Talladega is a high-variance track, it's hard to be a truly dominant driver here. But Brad Keselowski won here in spectacular fashion in his very first crack, and he has been slaying ever since.

Keselowski has 5 career wins at Talladega in 18 total races. That includes two of the past four races and three of the past seven. The dude knows how to win here. The current form is on point, too, with a top-10 while he was trying to take the lead with six laps left.

Elliott won't get as much buzz as the others for his track history, but he has run at the front here throughout his Cup career. Don't be surprised if he does so again on Sunday.

Aric Almirola ($8,800): Aric Almirola almost won the first restrictor-plate race this year, but a last-lap crash dashed his Daytona 500 dreams. With Almirola's record at these tracks, he could get another crack at a win this weekend.

Almirola has rattled off 3 straight top-10 finishes at Talladega, including a top-5 finish in both of the 2017 runnings. That's not to mention that his only career victory came at Daytona, and coupling that with his strong showing in February, it's clear this guy can wheel at superspeedways.

Additionally, Almirola's equipment is better than what he has had in the past now that he's driving for Stewart Haas Racing. His average finish this year is 13.6, up from 18.8 with Richard Petty Motorsports last year. In his first race at Talladega with his new team, Almirola's a major bargain at $8,800.

Trevor Bayne ($7,000): Trevor Bayne received some tough news this week that he'd be shifting to a part-time role starting next month, allowing Matt Kenseth to return to Roush Fenway Racing. But Bayne still deserves to be on our radar based on what he can do at superspeedways.

Bayne finshed third at this race last fall. He was 37th in the spring, but that was with a 13th-place average running position. He has finished 17th or better in 3 of the last 4 Talladega races, which we'll take at his price. Bayne's current form leaves plenty to be desired, but he was 13th at Daytona, meaning he's running well enough to be on our radar if he starts near the back.

Current Form

Kyle Busch ($11,600): Kyle Busch easily could have been mentioned in the section above, thanks to six top-5 finishes at Talladega, including two in the past four races. But nobody can top his current form.

Busch has won three consecutive races, and he has been in the top three in seven straight. It doesn't get any better than that.

What makes this noteworthy for Busch is that it spans all types of tracks. His average running position at Fontana -- a two-mile track -- was second, and he was fourth in Texas, another high-speed venue, on his way to a victory. He has a blend of current form and track history that can't be matched, so he can be on your radar as a tournament play no matter where he starts.

Ryan Blaney ($10,200): We could say all of the same things about Ryan Blaney, just to a lesser degree. He has had a top-10 average running position in two of his past three races at Talladega, and the current form is even more impressive.

Blaney was dominant to start the year at Daytona, leading a race-high 118 laps on his way to a seventh-place finish. He had an average running position of third at Martinsville and second at Bristol, so he has brought that hot start into recent races, too. He and Elliott make the middle tier in pricing mighty appealing for those of you going for a more balanced roster.

Darrell Wallace Jr. ($6,300): Keeping with the trend of drivers who excelled in Daytona this year, we can turn to Blaney's best friend, Darrell Wallace Jr., for some serious salary relief.

This will be Wallace's Cup debut at Talladega, and he has just one top-10 finish here in 6 races between each of the top 3 levels. That top-10 was in a Camping World Truck Series race in 2014, so track history is not on his side. But he has shown that his talent exceeds this price point during the 2018 season.

In addition to finishing 2nd at Daytona, Wallace logged an 8th-place finish in Texas with an average running position of 15th. He followed that up the next week by leading some laps at Bristol and finishing with an average running position of 13th. Wallace's biggest successes have been at tracks where the driver is more important than the equipment, which can also be the case in Talladega.

Plenty of low-cost drivers -- like Wallace -- will have appeal this week. Alex Bowman, Erik Jones, William Byron, Daniel Suarez, and A.J. Allmendinger are other cheap drivers who should be on your list if they start near the back. Don't be afraid to leave some salary on the table if it allows you to target drivers in optimal starting positions.
