Leon Draisaitl With Another Three-Point Night For Edmonton

Edmonton Oilers center Leon Draisaitl scored a goal and added two assists to help the Oilers complete a three-goal comeback on Friday night. The 6-5 overtime win was iced by Draisaitl's goal in extra time. Like Connor McDavid, Draisaitl played right around 25 minutes on the night. The center also had two shots on goal […]

Connor McDavid's Three-Point Night Dazzles In Edmonton Win

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid can make anyone run out of superlatives. Connor McDavid scored a highlight-reel goal and added two helpers. Edmonton came back from down 4-1 to win 6-5 in overtime. It does not matter how many goals the Oilers are down in a game because of players like Connor McDavid. He had […]

Alexander Holtz Makes His NHL Debut Against Los Angeles

New Jersey Devils right winger Alexander Holtz will make his NHL debut on Friday night against the Los Angeles Kings. Holtz enjoyed his short time in Utica scoring five goals in four games. It was clear that he was a man apart in the AHL. New Jersey needs a spark and Holtz can at least […]

Kyle Larson Favored To Win Phoenix And Cup Series

After nine wins in 35 races, it comes down to Phoenix for Kyle Larson and the Hendrick Motorsports Racing team. The driver in the No. 5 car has been masterful all year. Last week, he stayed out of trouble and still finished in the top-15. That was after two wins in the previous two weeks. […]

Martin Truex Jr. Has Shot At Glory Once More At Phoenix

Martin Truex Jr. led 64 laps, including the final one, during the spring race as he won at Phoenix. It was his first-ever win on the track after a few close calls through the years. The one concern has been early on in practice, where the No. 19 car has been out of the top […]

Joey Logano Has Great Chance To Win At Phoenix

Joey Logano has been on the podium at Phoenix quite a bit. In his last three races, the No. 22 car has finished first, third and second, respectively. He has led a total of 421 laps over the past four races. Again, Logano has nearly won three times in a row at the one-mile track. […]

Brad Keselowski Ends With Team Penske At Phoenix

Brad Keselowski has one more race with Team Penske before he moves on for next season. In the meantime, Keselowski was the fastest in one of the early practices heading into Sunday's race. Again, it is early. However, the No. 2 car looks to have a little extra jump when compared to recent races. The […]

Denny Hamlin In Good Position At Phoenix

For Denny Hamlin, all he could ask was to be in the final race with a shot to win the title. After some crazy twists and turns, that is exactly where the Joe Gibbs Racing car driver is as Phoenix approaches on Sunday. The last two years have seen the No. 11 car finish fourth […]

Kevin Harvick Likely To Be Near The Front At Phoenix

Kevin Harvick expects to be near the front again at Phoenix. Now, so does Chase Elliott. Cue the inevitable questions as no one truly knows what may happen. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has won eight times at Phoenix and has finished in the top ten every race since Fall of 2013 (16 races). It is […]

Chase Elliott May Repeat Championship At Phoenix

Chase Elliott won the NASCAR Cup Championship at Phoenix last year after leading 153 of the laps (almost half the race). The Spring race last year saw the No. 9 car lead 93 laps. Now, this Spring was a bit of a different story but Elliott did manage a fifth-place result in a car that […]

William Byron Likely To Finish In Top 10 At Phoenix

William Byron has quite a nice streak going heading into Sunday's season finale at Phoenix. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing car has finished in the top ten three consecutive times on the 1-mile track. That's right (10th, 9th, and 8th). Byron's average finish over the previous three years is 12.71. That ranks tenth among all current […]

Ross Chastain Not Much Of A DFS Play At Phoenix

Ross Chastain likely will not factor much from a DFS standpoint on Sunday as the NASCAR season ends in Phoenix. Chastain started 22nd during the Spring race and wound up 19th at the end. He did not move up or down all that much and did not have the speed to push into the top […]

Chase Briscoe Not Recommended For Phoenix

Chase Briscoe finished outside of the top 20 in his first NASCAR race at Phoenix in the Spring. There is little to believe that he will improve much on that position on Sunday. Briscoe has not finished in the top ten in any race since Watkins Glen back in the summer. The 1-mile tracks have […]

Austin Dillon Not Expected To Move Up Much At Phoenix

Austin Dillon had a couple of top-10 results in his racing career at Phoenix. The last one came in 2018. During the fall race last year, the Richard Childress Racing driver saved the car a few times. He ended up guiding the car home to a respectable 18th-place finish. The No. 3 car is unlikely […]

Tyler Reddick May Be Avoided At Phoenix

Tyler Reddick has not had success in three tries at the Phoenix Raceway. Most forget his Spring 2020 debut looked great as Reddick was near the lead before he crashed. After that, the past two races have been ordinary to disappointing for the Richard Childress Racing driver. Reddick could not even finish on the lead […]

Ryan Blaney Could Factor Into Phoenix Race On Sunday

Ryan Blaney led 35 laps during the Spring race at Phoenix. The Team Penske car was quite fast and looking very good. He faded late but managed to finish tenth. Aside from the Spring 2020 race, Blaney has an average finish of 5.5 over that four-race span. He is fast enough but seemed to lose […]

Christopher Bell Not A Threat To Win At Phoenix

Christopher Bell expects to have a fast car at Phoenix but the downforce may be an issue. It was the last time in the Spring. That kept Bell out of the top five more than likely. He did finish ninth and that was a solid result for the No. 20 car. Bell has improved in […]

Alex Bowman Could Be Risky At Phoenix

Alex Bowman could have a very good race car at Phoenix for Hendrick Motorsports Racing. The question is how long will it last? Can the No. 48 driver keep that car on the track for an entire race? There always has been some sort of issue with Bowman at Phoenix that has kept him out […]

Bubba Wallace May Fall Back Late At Phoenix

Do not be surprised to see Bubba Wallace near the front during the early part of the Phoenix race on Sunday. The No. 23 car was fast in the Spring and he even led four laps. Wallace was able to get his car up to the front and then the car began to get loose […]

Matt DiBenedetto Has Uncertain Future After Phoenix

Matt DiBenedetto does not know who he will drive for next season. Once the Phoenix race ends, the uncertainty begins for the Wood Brothers Racing driver. He does have four straight top-14 results (including an 8th) at the one-mile track. Last year saw DiBenedetto riding in the top five for quite a bit in the […]

Kurt Busch Will Hang Around At Phoenix

Kurt Busch has a habit of just hanging around at Phoenix. He does not have the speed to truly contend with the dominators but the elder Busch does not tumble to the back of the field either. Occasionally, he even finishes in the top ten. It does make sense that his average finish the past […]

Aric Almirola One To Watch At Phoenix

Aric Almirola surprises many when they start researching all sorts of metrics at Phoenix Raceway. Almirola does excel on the one-mile track with six top-11 results in his last eight races. He has led some laps and a couple of times nearly won the race. Some bad luck has indeed plagued him at crucial times. […]

Kyle Busch Expected To Finish Better At Phoenix

Kyle Busch had some run at Phoenix going his last time out, but the No. 18 has mostly had nothing but issues there. So what will happen Sunday? It appears like more of Column A than Column B. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver had five straight podium appearances and two wins before his 11th- and […]

Matt Kuchar Could Hang Around At Mayakoba Golf Classic

Honestly, not too much is expected out of Matt Kuchar. While he could hang around this weekend, there is little reason to think that Kuchar will do anything more than that. The 67-69 at the Shriner's did offer some hope but the American golfer has not played in nearly four weeks. He just has to […]

Taylor Pendrith's Weak Fourth Rounds Costing Him Dearly

Taylor Pendrith has all the tools to win at these shorter golf courses. Yes, he even had the 54-hole lead at the tournament in Bermuda. The problem is that 76 on Sunday. This is just like every other Sunday where Pendrith just starts hitting errant shots then missing putts the whole game goes off the […]

Russell Henley Hopes To Be More Consistent At Mayakoba

Russell Henley has two top-25 finishes this Fall but nothing inside the top-20. The golfer even has shot seven of his eight rounds in the 60's. If his driver accuracy and greens in regulation stay tops on tour then Henley will be more consistent. Henley even has shown improvements with his putter. He just has […]

Rickie Fowler A Mixed Bag Heading Into Mayakoba Golf Classic

The peaks and valleys of Rickie Fowler's golf game are legendary. After a tie for third at The CJ Cup, Fowler looked mediocre err soso at the Zozo Championship. Keep in mind that the Zozo was only a Par-70 and another one of those short courses. Fowler and these types of courses do not seem […]

Sergio Garcia Must Improve Putter To Contend At Mayakoba

Sergio Garcia is hitting it well off the tee at around 315 yards a drive. The problem is his erratic putter. The Spaniard just cannot drop birdies consistently. He is averaging 4.67 per round, which ranks 57th this fall. That is decent, but it will not win him a tournament or help him contend on […]
