Is John Hunter Nemechek A Value Play At Richmond?
John Hunter Nemechek will start 18th in Sunday's Toyota Owners 400. Given that he has finished in the top five in each of his last three Xfinity appearances at this track and that he won the Truck race here in 2021, there is a lot to like about Nemechek heading into this weekend's race. While […]
Corey LaJoie Will Start P21 At Richmond Raceway
Corey Lajoie will start 21st in Sunday's Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway. In 12 Cup starts at Richmond, Lajoie has never finished in the top 10 and has an average finish of 28.1, which is the 33rd worst among active drivers. His average finish of 26th and DraftKings average of 8.97 in the three […]
Brad Keselowski Among Top DFS Plays At Richmond
After a disappointing trip to Circuit of the Americas (COTA) last weekend, Brad Keselowski's struggles continued Saturday afternoon as he qualified 23rd for the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway. Despite these recent challenges, there is a lot to like about the 2012 Cup Series champion heading into Sunday night's race. In 28 Cup starts […]
Carson Hocevar Will Start 25th In Cup Series Debut At Richmond
Carson Hocevar will start 25tg in the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway. Due to this being Hocevar's first Cup start at the "Action Track," our data is both limited and contradictory for the Spire Motorsports rookie. For example, in his four Truck starts at this track, the 21-year-old has two top-10s, including an impressive […]
Noah Gragson Will Start 17th At Richmond
After finishing 27th in practice speed (118.105 mph), Noah Gragson improved by over three miles per hour during qualifying, enough to earn him the 17th starting position for the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway. After starting the season with two top-10 finishes in the first three races, Gragson has hit a rough patch, finishing […]
Limit Your Exposure To William Byron This Weekend In DFS
Fresh off a victory last weekend at COTA, William Byron will start 13th in the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway, ending his streak of consecutive top-10 starts at Richmond at four races. Despite having strong starting positions in the four previous races at this venue, the seven-year Cup veteran has struggled to maintain track […]
Can Josh Berry Turn His Season Around At Richmond Raceway?
Josh Berry will start 30th in Sunday's Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway. Berry, who is in his first full season in the Cup Series, is off to a rocky start in 2024.

Texas Native Chris Buescher Finishes Eighth At COTA
Chris Buescher finished eighth in Sunday's EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuits of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, TX. Despite being his fourth top-10 finish of the season, it was a rather uneventful day for the Texas native in the Lone Star State. Perhaps the biggest story coming out of the race is that Buescher […]
Kyle Busch Confronts Christopher Bell Following A Top-10 Finish At COTA
On Sunday afternoon, Kyle Busch finished ninth in the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuits of the Americas, marking his second top-10 finish of the season. While a top-10 finish would normally be a topic of conversation, that is not why everyone is talking about Kyle Busch exiting the weekend. In turn one of lap […]
Is Ricky Stenhouse Jr. A Core Play This Weekend At COTA?
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will start P30 in Sunday's EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuits of the Americas (COTA). While Stenhouse is always a bit of a wild card, particularly outside of NASCAR's superspeedways, he is always a driver to consider when building DFS lineups. In 2023, Stenhouse appeared in the DraftKings optimal lineup nine times, […]
Noah Gragson Will Start Last In Sunday's Race At COTA
On Saturday afternoon, Noah Gragson qualified 39th for Sunday's EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuits of the Americas (COTA). Gragson is off to a hot start in 2024, as he has three top 12s in just five races. Even with last week's 34th place finish, which came in a race plagued by tire issues, his […]
Why You Should Limit Your Exposure To Joey Logano In DFS This Weekend
On Saturday afternoon, Joey Logano qualified 35th for Sunday's EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuits of the Americas (COTA). Although Logano is widely considered among NASCAR's elite drivers, his 2024 results do not reflect this. With two DNFs and an average finish of 25th, the 2022 Cup Series champion currently sits 30th in the playoff […]
Corey Lajoie's Starting Position a Liability in DFS This Weekend
Corey Lajoie will start fifth in Sunday's EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuits of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, TX. Despite finishing 11th in this race last year, there is little reason to be excited about Lajoie this weekend in DFS. In 24 Cup starts on road courses, he has never finished in the top […]
Will Brad Keselowski’s Recent Success Continue This Weekend At COTA?
Brad Keselowski, fresh off back-to-back top-five finishes, will start 36th in Sunday's EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuits of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, TX. While the last two weeks have given the RFK Racing driver-owner a much-needed shot in the arm, do not expect the streak of top-five finishes to continue at COTA. Despite […]
Should You Fade Austin Dillon In DFS This Weekend?
Austin Dillon's rocky start to the 2024 season continued on Saturday as he qualified 21st for the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuits of the Americas (COTA).

Will Ryan Blaney Hit Value In DFS This Weekend At COTA?
On Saturday afternoon, Ryan Blaney qualified 28th for Sunday's EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuits of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, TX. Despite last week's 16th-place finish at Bristol, Blaney enters Sunday's race with considerable momentum, as he has already earned three top-five finishes in 2024. Unfortunately for the reigning Cup Series champion, Sunday's race […]
Kaz Grala Finishes 19th At Bristol Motor Speedway
Kaz Grala finished 19th in Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Heading into the race, there was little reason to be excited about Grala, particularly as it relates to DFS.

Brad Keselowski Exceeds Value In DFS At Bristol Motor Speedway
On Sunday evening, Brad Keselowski earned his second top-five in a row by securing a third-place finish in the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Chase Elliott Earns First Top 10 Finish Of 2024
On Sunday evening, Chase Elliott finished eighth in the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Sunday's result was the first top-10 finish for the former Cup Series champion since the Charlotte Roval last fall, a stretch that spanned eight races.

Can Bubba Wallace Return Value In DFS This Weekend?
After recording the third-fastest speed during Saturday's practice (126.922), Bubba Wallace followed it up by qualifying ninth in Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. In the first two races of 2024, Wallace looked like a contender for the NASCAR championship, finishing fifth in both races. In the two races that followed, his results […]
Breaking Down Why Chase Elliott is a Top Pick for DFS This Weekend
After finishing with just the 16th fastest practice time (15.385), Chase Elliott ended up qualifying fifth for Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Despite not having gone to victory lane since October 2022, and while it has been eight races since he has finished in the top 10, there is still a lot […]
Limit Your Exposure To Ricky Stenhouse Jr. This Weekend In DFS
On Saturday evening, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. qualified 27th for the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Although Stenhouse did improve by 0.043 seconds from practice to qualifying, he was still much slower than most of the field. What makes this lack of speed even more concerning is that the issue doesn't appear to be […]
Michael McDowell Will Make His Fourth Top 10 Start Of 2024 Sunday At Bristol Motor Speedway
Michael McDowell will start seventh in Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway, marking the fourth time this season he will start in the top 10. Although McDowell has considerable experience on Bristol's concrete, the experiences have largely been negative. In his 24 starts, he has just two top 10s, eight DNFs, and an […]
Is Carson Hocevar A Value Play In DFS This Weekend?
Spire Motorsports rookie Carson Hocevar will start 35th in Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Despite being his rookie season, Hocevar does have Cup experience at this track as he was given the opportunity to drive the No. 42 in place of the suspended Noah Gragson last fall. In that race the 21-year-old […]
Is Noah Gragson A Core Play This Weekend At Bristol?
On Saturday evening, Noah Gragson qualified 22nd for his Cup Series debut on Bristol's concrete for Sunday's Food City 500.

Will Josh Berry’s Disappointing Start To 2024 Continue Sunday At Bristol?
After a disappointing practice session, Josh Berry bounced back by qualifying second for Sunday's Food City 500 at Bristol Speedway. To say that Berry's rookie season is off to a rough start is an understatement. In the first four races of 2024, he has yet to finish in the top 20, which is shocking given […]

On Saturday evening, A.J. Allmendinger qualified 30th for the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. Sunday's race will be the second out of an estimated 12-15 Cup starts for Allmendinger in 2024.

Tyler Reddick Wraps Up NASCAR's West Coast Swing With Back-To-Back Top 10s.
On Sunday evening, Tyler Reddick wrapped up NASCAR's west coast swing by finishing 10th in the Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway. While a 10th-place finish typically indicates a strong race, in this case, it does not do the driver of the No. 45 justice, given how strong he looked throughout the day. Not only […]
Brad Keselowski Earns First Top 10 Of 2024 At Phoenix
Brad Keselowski earned his first top 10 of the season by finishing fourth in Sunday's Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway.

Although he did not lead at any point in the race, he spent 88% of the race […]
