Tyler Reddick Starts Outside Top 10 On Sunday At Kansas

Tyler Reddick begins the Kansas race from the 12th position on Sunday afternoon. The Richard Childress Racing driver finished 25th in the only Fall race for the No. 8 car. He has two top tens during the early races though. That explains his 13.5 average finish overall. What does one make of limited data? That […]

Kevin Harvick Expected To Finish Well At Kansas

Kevin Harvick and Kansas just seem to go together. Harvick was struggling early this season mightily, came to the track, did not lead a lap, yet finished second. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver enjoys these low-wear tracks but particularly this one. This is a driver that has led the second-most laps over the previous three years […]

Christopher Bell A Long Shot At Kansas Motor Speedway

Christopher Bell cannot be automatically counted out at Kansas but is realistically a long shot on the track. He finished tenth last year during the Fall race. The two "early" races have seen less fruitful results for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver. Also, the chances he leads a lap coming from the tenth position looks […]

William Byron Has Good Numbers At Kansas

William Byron has favorable results at Kansas. While he has not won or come all that close, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver could factor into the "Chase" somewhat. Byron has four straight top-ten results on the track. His best finish was fifth during the Fall 2019 race. There is only one time where Byron has […]

Joey Logano Has Mixed Numbers Everywhere At Kansas

Joey Logano needs to win or hope for Martinsville. His blown engine last week has created this situation. The No. 22 Ford driver won just last Fall on the Kansas speedway. His Mustang has been excellent on this track at times and not so good. He also won in 2015 and nearly did in 2016. […]

Martin Truex Jr. May Be A Risk At Kansas

Martin Truex Jr. has consistently finished in the top 10 on the Kansas track. He has six top-10 finishes and a win over the past three seasons. The problem may be that his Furniture Row racing car was must faster on this low-wear track than his current Joe Gibbs car. The No. 19 can contend, […]

Chase Elliott Is The Most Consistent Driver At Kansas

Chase Elliott needs a very good to great result at Kansas. Would a win be ideal? Absolutely. The No. 9 car has won once in the past three seasons. Also, he has the best average finish among all drivers at 6.00. This includes five top-10 finishes, and all five of those are sixth-place results or […]

Kyle Busch A Threat To Win Hollywood Casino 400

Kyle Busch has been one of the best Joe Gibbs Racing drivers not to win the Fall race at Kansas. Over the past three Fall races, the younger Busch has finished no worse than fifth. It is odd though that the No. 18 car has only led four laps during that entire span. However, he […]

Brad Keselowski A True Wild Card At Kansas On Sunday

Brad Keselowski has five top-six finishes in his last six races on the Kansas speedway. That includes a win in 2019. The only problem is that the Team Penske driver has had his share of issues too. The last two Fall races have seen Keselowski lead less than ten laps and have dropped later in […]

Ryan Blaney Looks Strong Heading To Kansas

Ryan Blaney and his Team Penske car have to be considered a threat to win at Kansas on Sunday. Now, Blaney becomes interesting (starts second on metrics) if he continues to use the Brad Keselowski build. Blaney has three top-tens during the past four Fall races at Kansas, That includes a third in 2017. Expecting […]

Denny Hamlin Has A Fighting Chance At Kansas

Denny Hamlin has an interesting ledger with Kansas over the past three seasons. In seven races, the No. 11 has won twice with another top-ten result as well. He has led 14.6% of the laps in this span along with a 9.14 average finish. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has led 50 or more laps […]

Kyle Larson Favored Yet Again At Kansas

Kyle Larson has already qualified for the Championship Four at Phoenix in two weeks. Despite that, his focus is still Kansas. Asking the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver to go easy is almost pointless. While Larson has not won a race at Kansas over the past three years, he has led the most laps (21.72% laps […]

Nolan Patrick Scores In Vegas' Loss

Nolan Patrick wound up with some power-play time on Friday night for the Vegas Golden Knights. Patrick played 63 seconds on the man advantage which is progress.

Connor McDavid Dishes Two Assists As Edmonton Wins Again

Centerman Connor McDavid did it again with two more assists as the Edmonton Oilers defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 5-3 on Friday.

Leon Draisaitl With Big Night For Edmonton Again

The Edmonton Oilers are rolling along, and centerman Leon Draisaitl has been a significant reason why. Draisaitl scored twice and added an assist in the 5-3 victory on Friday night. The three-point night now gives the forward 11 points on the young season through five games. Draisaitl had seven shots on goal, along with five […]

Zach Hyman Nets Pair Of Goals Again In Oilers Win

Zach Hyman did it again on Friday night as he scored two more goals in a 5-3 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. Hyman simply is doing his job by scoring those close-in goals off opportunities.

Harry Higgs has heated up over the past couple of weeks as the Zozo Championship beckons. Higgs finished tied for 27th and then 9th in the last two tournaments. The New Jersey native credits his putting to several golf courses in the state. The best thing Higgs may have done was take a few weeks […]

Jhonattan Vegas' Putter Is Vital At Zozo Championship

Jhonattan Vegas can play from tee to green as well as anyone. He shot four rounds in the 60's at The CJ Cup which surprised many. That is because this was his Fall opener. Vegas was hitting over 320 yards off the tee as well. There was a lot to like en route to his […]

K.H. Lee Is An Interesting Pick In Japan

K.H. Lee has two top-25 finishes in the last two weeks. Lee has been playing pretty well. That has been buoyed by final round 66's twice. Now, at the CJ Cup, the Korean golfer, fired a 66-66 over the weekend which raised him from near the cut line to a tie for 25th. His driving […]

Lanto Griffin May Have Upside At Zozo Championship

Lanto Griffin was playing dreadfully in the first two tournaments of the Fall and then came to life two weeks ago at The Shriners Children's Open. After an opening-round T 72, Griffin started dropping birdies en route to a 64-66 weekend. That vaulted him into a tie for sixth and merited some serious consideration for […]

C.T. Pan On A Roll Heading To Narashino

C.T. Pan played excellent in his first two tournaments of the fall season with a T6 and T11. The most important thing was how well he putted. Though he finished 59th in 2019, this course is short and great for the golfer. One concern is his strokes gained off the tee. That has drifted into […]

Emiliano Grillo Must Improve His Putting In Japan

Emiliano Grillo has always had issues with his putter but did not in the last round of The CJ Cup. His 61 turned some heads as he just kept dropping putt after putt. His strokes gained lost to putting rose to -0.353 on the season. It was much worse. The question is can he sustain […]

Eric van Rooyen A Risky DFS Option At Zozo Championship

After missing the cut at The Shriners, Eric van Rooyen played much better at The CJ Cup. He finished tied for 25th and made quite a few birdies until the final round. That is where he shot only a 70. The South African golfer can hit a driver quite far, averaging 319.7 yards per swing. […]

Si Woo Kim Still A Guessing Game This Week In Japan

Si Woo Kim has been his usual enigmatic self this Fall season. He has two very good results and two not-so-good ones. Kim finished in a tie for 11th and 8th the first couple of tournaments then missed the cut and blew up with a 77 last week at The CJ Cup. It was that […]

Alex Noren Not Expected To Do Much At Zozo Championship

Alex Noren played his first tournament of the new season last week at The CJ Cup. He tied for 59th with a -10 score. Noren just could not make enough birdies even though he drove pretty well (fifth overall with 75% accuracy). The problem was the putter and his lack of ability to get to […]
