Austin Dillon Had Playoff Spot Chance Then Crashed

Austin Dillon and his No. 3 car were running near the front all night at Daytona. The performance was noticeable and there was even a slight change Dillon could win. Close to the end, Dillon was starting to fade a bit but was still well in the top ten when disaster struck. The nine-car melee... Read More

Tyler Reddick Secures Fifth at Daytona, Makes Playoff

Tyler Reddick just had to stay out of trouble and the rest would take care of itself. He had an intense race with his own teammate Austin Dillon for the final playoff spot. In the end, Reddick was smart and composed. He not only avoided the wrecks but finished with a top-five result. The Richard... Read More

Ryan Newman Winds Up Third at Daytona on Saturday

Ryan Newman was awarded third on Saturday after the Coke Zero Sugar 400. Before Chris Buescher's disqualification, Newman was one of three Fords in the "top four" on Saturday night at Daytona. Those Fords were able to stay near the front and out of trouble. Newman even led a couple of laps during pit sequences.... Read More

Bubba Wallace Rewarded With Second Place at Daytona

Bubba Wallace thought he had a good car going into the race Saturday night and he was right. Wallace ran near the front for a majority of the 165 laps and finished third at Daytona. The 23XI Racing driver led eight laps and thought that was that. However, when Chris Buescher was disqualified, Wallace moved... Read More

Chris Buescher Disqualified After Coke Zero Sugar 400

Chris Buescher enjoyed a brilliant run on Saturday night and nearly won the Coke Zero Sugar 400. It was thought that he finished second right behind fellow Ford driver Ryan Blaney. Then, there was the post-race inspection. It turned out the Track Bar Mounting Assembly had something amiss by fractions of an inch. That violation... Read More

Ryan Blaney Survives Ending At Daytona to Win Again

Ryan Blaney does it again. The Team Penske driver held off Chris Buescher and Bubba Wallace to win the Coke Zero Sugar 400 on Saturday. There was a little of everything in this 160-lap race that went into overtime. Blaney only led seven laps but took the lead with two laps to go and never... Read More

Hello once again everyone!  We hit the Coke Zero Sugar 400 from Daytona International Speedway this week and another edition of NASCAR DFS on PrizePicks. Now, that means our new friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS props site where... Read More

NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Coke Zero Sugar 400 - Monkey Knife Fight

Saturday night features the Coke Zero Sugar 400 at the Daytona International Speedway from Daytona, Florida. Monkey Knife Fight has an extremely easy fantasy point system: 0.1 points for each lap led and then a set amount of points for their position (20 for 1st place, 19 for 2nd place, 18 for 3rd, and so... Read More

Erik Jones Roll of the Dice at Daytona

Erik Jones won the Daytona summer race three years ago coming from 29th. He followed that qualifying 28th then nearly winning the Daytona 500 in 2019. After that, it went south. This year, Jones switched from Joe Gibbs Racing to Richard Petty Motorsports. He crashed out of the Daytona 500 like last year's summer race.... Read More

Austin Dillon Last Chance For Playoffs at Daytona

Austin Dillon needs some considerable help to make the playoffs. He needs to win or hope he fares well while Tyler Reddick has massive issues or DNF's. Reddick only needs 31 points to clinch a spot if a repeat winner takes the checkered flag. Dillon has won the race in the past in 2018 and... Read More

Joey Logano Another Crash Risk at Daytona

Joey Logano has had a bad couple of weeks as he has dropped from fifth to eighth in the points standings. That is even as bad as his results at Daytona the past four summers. That's right. The Team Penske driver has had issues in every one of those races from crashes to car trouble... Read More

Bubba Wallace Decent Upside Possible at Daytona

Bubba Wallace has some pretty solid results at Daytona. There was the 17th in February and even two top-15 results the past two summers (15th and 5th). Most tend to forget that the 23XI Racing driver nearly won "The Great American Race" in 2018. He finished second that year. So, Wallace has some very positive... Read More

Aric Almirola DNF Risk at Daytona

Aric Almirola did finish seventh at the summer race at Daytona in 2019. However, he did crash out after 13 laps at the Daytona 500 this year. The No, 10 car has one win on the season and three top-tens. However, superspeedways have not been so good. When one has three DNF's at Daytona the... Read More

Michael McDowell Volatile Option at Daytona

Michael McDowell won at Daytona in February and this is his best track by far but the play is dangerous at best. The summer race has not been as kind as McDowell has finished outside the top ten three straight times. His propensity to wreck or nearly wreck is well documented too. The No. 34... Read More

Tyler Reddick On Verge of The Chase at Daytona

Tyler Reddick just needs 31 points if there is no new winner on Saturday to qualify for the playoffs. Of course, winning would solve any problems but Reddick has had a few issues with Daytona. He finished 27th in February and was 12 laps down. In four attempts, Reddick has not finished better than 27th.... Read More

Chase Briscoe Could Keep Rolling at Daytona

Chase Briscoe has had a nice stretch where he finished in the top-11 during two of his last three races. It was only Indianapolis as he got unlucky with that pesky Turn 6 and the curve. Again, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver is showing better form at the right time. He may be a bit better... Read More

Alex Bowman Bad Track Record at Daytona

Alex Bowman has virtually nothing to race for on Saturday night. Combine that with his track record at Daytona International Speedway and the No. 48 appears less appealing. He has two top-ten results at Daytona. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver did finish seventh last year and tenth in 2018. Those were the good summer results.... Read More

Christopher Bell Has Some Risk at Daytona

If this was a road course, more would be on Christopher Bell here. The summer oval did not take too kindly to the Joe Gibbs Racing driver last year but he did manage a 13th with a late surge. Also, the Daytona 500 saw Bell lead 32 of the 200 laps. Can he combine the... Read More

Chris Buescher Decent DFS Option at Daytona

Chris Buescher has been consistent with three straight top-17 finishes as August approaches an end. The driver does have three top-ten finishes in his last four summer trips to Daytona. That includes a ninth last year for Roush Racing. The No. 17 car just tends to do well here with the different spoiler and lower... Read More

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Normal Risky Self at Daytona

Since consecutive top-five finishes in 2016 and 2017 (won the race), Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has come nowhere close to that form. The JTG-Daugherty Racing driver has been 17th, 24th, and 32nd since. That tends to be less than optimal when needing a win just to make the playoffs. Stenhouse Jr. does have three top-15 results... Read More

Kevin Harvick Just Stay Away From at Daytona

Kevin Harvick in February at Daytona has been quite good. Harvick in the summer at Daytona the last several years has been not so good. There have been a few crashes along the way but even from the pole last year, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver ended up 20th. It just does not seem like he... Read More

Brad Keselowski a Risky Pick for Daytona

One can never predict when a driver will wreck but the chances Brad Keselowski does not finish Daytona on Saturday seem high. He did crash at Daytona in February and lately has been involved or nearly involved in several wrecks. The Team Penske driver had a run-in with Austin Dillon that may have cost Dillon... Read More

Matt DiBenedetto Nothing to Lose at Daytona

Matt DiBenedetto is down to his last chance. Either he wins on Saturday night or the Wood Brothers Racing driver will miss "The Chase". Arguably, DiBenedetto had the car last week at Michigan but settled for sixth place. There definitely has been more speed in the No. 21 car of late. If it was not... Read More

Kurt Busch Interesting Possibility at Daytona

Kurt Busch is a risk and the Chip Ganassi Racing driver can be as good as bad. See, the 20th at Daytona in February as a great example. However, the elder Busch found a way to finish fourth at Michigan last week and nearly got his way up to the Hendricks drivers in second and... Read More

Martin Truex Jr. Might Be One to Avoid at Daytona

Martin Truex Jr. has not driven poorly of late but starting seventh might hurt from a DFS standpoint on Saturday at Daytona. It is not so much the different build but just the faster cars around him. Truex has not led any laps since Watkins Glen and has not led any laps on a non-road... Read More

Ryan Blaney Hopes to Carry Michigan Momentum This Week

Ryan Blaney pulled off a brilliant maneuver on the restart at Michigan last week. He was then able to hold off Kyle Larson and William Byron by the slimmest of margins. That was the second checkered flag of the season for the Team Penske driver. Blaney often comes up with these performances out of nowhere... Read More

Chase Elliott in Better Form Heading to Daytona

Chase Elliott only finished eighth at Michigan but he displayed a dominance riding in the clean air that was hopeful for what may be ahead. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver led 68 laps in all and really was a victim of that restart as much as anyone. Aside from mostly self-inflicted wounds (failed inspections, overaggressive... Read More

Kyle Busch May Contend at Coke Zero Sugar 400

Kyle Busch probably feels like there is a little unfinished business at Daytona. He was running very well before crashing at the end of the February race. Plus, his results have been a little up and down lately. He hit the pace car at New Hampshire then finished 37th, could not escape the carnage at... Read More

Denny Hamlin a Big Question Mark at Daytona

Denny Hamlin starts the Saturday night season finale from Daytona in a good position. Third is a solid spot. However, for all the success that Hamlin has had in Florida, there is something to consider. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has finished 17th or worse in four of his last five summer trips to the... Read More

William Byron Might Win at Daytona

There are several candidates to buck the "stack the back" strategy. One may just be William Byron. Byron finished second last week at Michigan just behind Ryan Blaney (0.077 seconds). The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver had the fastest car over the final stage. If not for Blaney's brilliant restart, Byron would be a favorite for... Read More
