After a strong performance in Thursday's Bluegreen Vacations Duel, Denny Hamlin will start P8 in Sunday's 66th running of the Daytona 500. Given that he is a three-time Daytona 500 champion, and after the speed displayed by the Toyotas in the Duels, Hamlin is among the favorites to win Sunday's race, currently sitting at +1000 […]
Should We Bet Chase Elliott To Win At Daytona?
Chase Elliott, NASCAR's most popular driver six years in a row, will start fifth in Sunday's Daytona 500. To say that 2023 was a frustrating season for the second-generation star is an understatement. Not only did he go winless, but an injury sustained while snowboarding and a suspension caused him to miss seven races in […]
Limit Your Exposure To William Byron At Daytona
William Byron will start 18th in Sunday's 66th running of the Daytona 500.

Although there is little doubt that the 26-year-old will have a great 2024, what is less clear is what […]
Ryan Blaney Will Begin His Title Defense In A Backup Car
On Thursday night, Ryan Blaney was involved in an 11-car accident on lap 48 of the Bluegreen Vacations Duel (second race) at Daytona International Speedway. As a result of the damage this wreck caused to the No. 12 Ford Mustang, Blaney will now have to go to a backup car for the 66th running of […]

Alex Bowman's Streak Of Front-Row Starts Ends
Alex Bowman's streak of six consecutive front-row starts in the Daytona 500 will end this Sunday when he starts seventh in The Great American Race. Despite being an impressive streak that will likely never be duplicated given the parity that the Next Gen car has introduced, Bowman didn't do much with the opportunity the favorable […]
Iowa Speedway Set For Cup Series Debut In 2024
On June 16, 2024, history will be made as the NASCAR Cup Series makes its debut at Iowa Speedway. Located in Newton, IA, a small corn farm town located roughly 35 miles east of Des Moines, this track is known for producing exciting races, a reputation that has earned it the nickname “the fastest short […]
How Legacy Motor Club Switching To Toyota In 2024 Will Shake Things Up
In May 2023, Legacy Motor Sports announced that the organization would switch from Chevy to Toyota beginning in 2024. The decision to jump manufacturers came as a surprise to many, particularly given the decorated history that Legacy minority owner Jimmie Johnson had with Chevrolet. Nevertheless, with this new era in the young company’s history upon […]
Martin Truex Jr. Among Betting Favorites To Win The Championship In 2024
After a disappointing 2022, Martin Truex Jr. bounced back in a major way in 2023. Not only did he win three races, but his consistency throughout the summer led him to the 2023 regular season championship. In the last seven races of the regular season, MTJ finished in the top 10 in six of those […]

Carson Hocevar, who has competed in the NASCAR Truck Series for only three full seasons, will make the jump to the Cup level in 2024 as a member of Spire Motorsports. While he is certainly a talented driver, there are concerns that he may be taking on too much too soon. Among the concerns is […]
Denny Hamlin Among Favorites To Win His First NASCAR Championship
With 51 race wins at the Cup level, three Daytona 500 victories, and a team that he is co-owner of, Denny Hamlin has accomplished a lot in his NASCAR career. The one thing he has not done, however, is win the Cup Series championship. Always the polarizing figure, Hamlin's lack of championship success has not […]

Ty Gibbs, the winner of the Rookie of the Year award for the NASCAR Cup Series in 2023, is entering the 2024 season with high expectations. In his first full season on the Cup Series, he achieved 10 wins and four top-five finishes, success he will look to build on this year. Regarded as one […]
William Byron Among Betting Favorites To Win The Title In 2024
In 2023, William Byron had a career year. Not only did he finish third in NASCAR's final standings, but he finished the season with the most wins (6), the most top 10s (21), and was tied for the most top 5s (15). Because of this success, Byron is considered a top contender for the 2024 […]
William Byron's Championship Dreams Shattered At Phoenix
William Byron's bid to win the 2023 NASCAR Cup Championship came up just a bit short on Sunday afternoon as he finished fourth in the 2023 Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway. Although the result was certainly not what the 25-year-old was hoping for, he did perform well in the desert. Evidence of just […]
Ross Chastain Ends 2023 With Victory At Phoenix
On Sunday afternoon, Ross Chastain picked up his second checkered flag of the season by winning the 2023 Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway. Despite having had success at Phoenix in the past, Sunday's victory did come as a bit of a surprise, as the final race has always been won by a Championship […]
Despite Starting P14, Todd Gilliland Still Holds DFS Value At Phoenix
On Saturday afternoon, Todd Gilliland qualified 14th for the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway. Gilliland, who enters Sunday's race fresh off a top-10 performance, will look to build off this momentum at Phoenix. While never a threat to win a race, the 23-year-old remains one of my favorite value plays in DFS […]
Ty Gibbs Will Start P11 Ahead Of An Emotional Anniversary For The JGR Family
On Saturday afternoon, Ty Gibbs qualified 11th for Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway. While the end of a season can always be emotional, for Gibbs, this weekend takes on a different meaning as Monday marks the one-year anniversary of his father's passing. On November 6, 2022, just hours after his son […]
Austin Cindric To Start 27th At Phoenix
Austin Cindric will start 27th in Sunday's season finale race at Phoenix Raceway. Despite a disappointing 2023, it has already been announced that Cindric will return to the No. 2 next season, an announcement that shows that Team Penske still has a lot of confidence in the young driver. While the future does look promising […]
Chase Briscoe A Core Play In DFS This Weekend
On Saturday afternoon, Chase Briscoe qualified 26th for the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway. While certainly not an exciting name, and while 2023 has been underwhelming, Briscoe is perhaps my favorite non-Championship 4 play this weekend. Not only does he have a Cup series win at this track, but in the three […]
Ross Chastain Looking To End 2023 On A High Note At Phoenix
Ross Chastain will wrap up the 2023 season by starting P8 in the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway.

Considering he has […]

On Saturday afternoon, Chris Buescher qualified P9 for the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway. Despite being eliminated from the NASCAR playoffs, Buescher had a tremendous 2023.

William Byron will start on the pole in the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway.

Considering he has both a Cup win […]
Chris Buescher Eliminated From NASCAR Playoffs
On Sunday afternoon, Chris Buescher finished eighth in the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. While Buescher did exceed value on DraftKings by scoring 47.35 points on an $8,600 salary, he was unfortunately eliminated from the NASCAR playoffs. Despite being competitive, which is evident in that he finished at +10 place differential, he just didn't quite […]
Christopher Bell Finishes In Top 10 For Third Straight Week
Christopher Bell had a strong outing on Sunday afternoon as he finished seventh in the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Despite having already punched his ticket to the Championship 4, Bell appeared to take this race very seriously as he spent 498 of 500 laps in the top 15. While he failed to deliver value […]
Todd Gilliland A Value Play At Martinsville
On Saturday afternoon, Todd Gilliland qualified 17th for the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway.

Erik Jones Qualifies 29th For the Xfinity 500
Erik Jones will start 29th in Sunday's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Despite looking like a star on the rise over the last few seasons, Jones has had a disappointing 2023. Not only does he have six fewer top 10s this season than he had last year, but his average finish of 20.4 is the […]
At P2, Ty Gibbs Now A Top Play At Martinsville
On Saturday afternoon, Ty Gibbs followed up an impressive practice session by qualifying second in the Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Given that he has an average finish of 18.7 in his two Cup starts at Martinsville, you may be tempted to fade the second-generation driver, but I would discourage you from doing this. While […]
A.J. Allmendinger Will Start P25 At Martinsville
On Saturday afternoon, A.J. Allmendinger qualified P25 for Sunday's Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway. To say that October has been a good month for the 16-year Cup veteran is an understatement. Not only did he win at the Charlotte Roval earlier in the month, but just last week he finished fifth at Homestead, making him […]
Kevin Harvick Earns Top 10 Start In His Final Race At The Paperclip
Kevin Harvick will start P8 in his final start at Martinsville Speedway. Because the Championship 4 race has only ever been won by a driver in the championship round, Sunday's race at Martinsville is likely the last shot at victory for the future hall-of-famer. Unfortunately for Harvick, this race is not happening at one of […]
