Talor Gooch Could Bounce Back At Fortinet Championship

Talor Gooch did not have a good FedEx Cup playoffs, as the final three tournaments resulted in him finishing outside the top 30. He even missed the cut at the Wyndham Championship. He can make birdies, though, averaging 3.8,which was good for 75th on tour. There are weekends where Gooch can make four to six […]

Chez Reavie A Dangerous Option At Fortinet Championship

Chez Reavie did not have a good spring, and his FedEx Cup playoff was cut short when he missed the top 30 after The Northern Trust. It was a trying year for Reavie, who missed the cut in seven straight tournaments. Putting is usually Reavie's biggest problem, as he ranks 177th in strokes gained at […]

Charley Hoffman Has A Chance At Fortinet Championship

Charley Hoffman did play a bit better over the final two tournaments of the FedEx Cup. After a four-tournament run that culminated in the American golfer missing the cut at The Open Championship, Hoffman rebounded. He finished 21st and 38th, after ties. His overall strokes gained of 1.194 ranked 17th on tour. Furthermore, he does […]

Harold Varner III Carries Intrigue At Fortinet Championship

Harold Varner III will garner some intrigue and some DFS ownership this week at the Fortinet Championship. He finished tied for 11th and tied for 12th during the last two tournaments of the FedEx Cup run. He closed well at the BMW Championship with a red-hot 65 on Sunday. His game has been more consistent […]

Cameron Tringale A Bit Dicey For Fortinet Championship

Cameron Tringale started at the BMW Championship and finished with bad results at the previous two tournaments in the FedEx Cup playoffs. Stumbling out of the blocks, Tringale never really recovered and finished way behind the leaders at just five-under. He is an average driver off the tee, so the shorter course this week should […]

Webb Simpson Looks Poised To Contend At Fortinet Championship

The Fortinet Championship takes place at the Silverado North Golf Course this weekend, and Webb Simpson expects to be among the contenders. A couple of weeks ago at the FedEx Cup finale, Simpson shot 66-66 over the weekend to nearly sneak into the top 10 (tied for 12th). This is a par-72 course at just […]

Kyle Larson Rough Night, Still Finishes Sixth at Richmond

Kyle Larson led just eight laps the entire night as his car just never had it from almost the start at Richmond. It was just one of those nights where the horsepower was not there. He drove well enough to finish in sixth and pretty much cement a spot in the Round of 12. The […]

Joey Logano Holds on for Fifth Place at Richmond

Joey Logano had one of those nights. He did not lead a single lap in the Team Penske car but the No. 22 managed to finish in the top five at Richmond. That keeps him in a good position to advance to the Round of 12 next week. After all, he did win at Bristol […]

Chase Elliott Overcomes Issues to Finish Fourth at Richmond

Chase Elliott had an interesting Saturday night on the 3/4 mile track at Richmond. In the end, he finished fourth which was a solid result. However, a few car issues, a bad pit stop, and some misjudging of drafting put Elliott behind the pace in the final 51 laps. The Hendricks Motorsports Racing driver did […]

Christopher Bell Delivers Big Result at Richmond

Christopher Bell was the third Joe Gibbs Racing driver in the 1-2-3 sweep on Saturday night at Richmond. He could not keep pace with his teammates but was able to stay in front of Chase Elliott. That gave him a spot on the podium and a third-place finish to boost his chances of advancing to […]

Denny Hamlin Ends Up Second At Richmond

Denny Hamlin was in the middle of a 1-2-3 Joe Gibbs Racing sweep on Saturday night as the No. 11 led the most laps with 197. The problem was the final laps as Martin Truex Jr.'s car was just faster in that run. It does not take away from a nice two-week run and start […]

Martin Truex Jr. Wins Federated Auto Parts 400

Martin Truex Jr. had the car to do very well and once again, he proved his favorite status was not a fluke. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver led 80 laps including the most important one, en route to victory on Saturday night at Richmond. The closest driver to him was Denny Hamlin who still was […]

Corey LaJoie Long Shot Chance at Top 15 Result

Corey LaJoie has shown over the past several weeks that he can achieve some decent place differential. Since Pocono that has been the case and LaJoie's gained 10, 17, and 10 positions respectively in the past three races he has finished. That was despite a late crash at Daytona. The No. 7 car could thrive […]

Chris Buescher One to Look at Even at Richmond

Chris Buscher technically has consecutive top ten results currently. He was disqualified at Daytona while running second. Those silly manifold spoiler differences can be a problem. That being said, the No. 17 car has finished in the top 20 nine of the past ten races now. The Roush-Fenway Racing driver does have top-16 upside with […]

Austin Dillon Looking Better As Richmond Approaches

Austin Dillon was in contention before the crash two weeks ago at Daytona then he responded with a top ten at Darlington. Dillon has been mostly pretty consistent result-wise this year. His average finish is actually near 15th. He just will not lead you laps as the driver has never led more than seven laps […]

Ross Chastain Could Build off Darlington Momentum

Ross Chastain was excellent at Darlington last week as he finished third. Do not overlook the driver at Richmond. He did finish 15th at the 3/4 mile track in the Spring. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver had a little more speed than expected late on the run at Darlington also. The No. 42 could definitely […]

Michael McDowell Not Expected to Do Well at Richmond

Michael McDowell qualified for the playoff chase mostly on the virtue of a few top-ten finishes and that win at the Daytona 500. The last eight races have seen the No. 34 car end up outside the top 20 every single time. He has three DNF's in his previous four races too. The last time […]

Kyle Busch Feels the Heat at Richmond

Kyle Busch did get fined $50,000 for his actions post-accident at Darlington. That crash put him in a bind as Richmond beckons. He finished eighth in the Spring race. Overall, the past three seasons have seen the Joe Gibbs Racing driver excel on this track. He is the only one to win twice while finishing […]

William Byron All or Nothing at Richmond

If William Byron can stay on the track, he should fare well at Richmond. He has crashed out in three of his previous five races. That has put him in a hole for the playoff chase. Also, he has finished second and sixth in the races he did not finish. The No. 24 car has […]

Chase Elliott to Rebound at Richmond

Chase Elliott crashed out of the Darlington race with 40 laps to go. That has left him some work as he tries to qualify for the round of 12. The Hendricks Motorsports Racing driver did finish fifth in last year's summer race and looked better speed and downforce-wise compared to the Spring race. Three years […]

Alex Bowman Might Surprise Again at Richmond

Alex Bowman pulled off a coup at Richmond as he led all the Hendricks Motorsports Racing drivers and won the Spring race. Few expected it and Bowman only led ten laps along with the final ones that mattered. Bowman is truly hit or miss at Richmond though. He has just two top-ten finishes in his […]

Tyler Reddick Risky Choice at Richmond

Tyler Reddick, like Christopher Bell, only has two races at the top NASCAR level. One was an 11th place finish while the Spring race produced only a 20th-place result. Reddick and his Richard Childress Racing car ended up two laps down. He just did not have the line or speed in the late stages at […]

Christopher Bell Short Track Contender at Richmond

Christopher Bell is the Joe Gibbs Racing driver that often gets forgotten on short tracks like Richmond. The Spring race saw him start in 8th and finish in 4th. Bell only has two races worth of experience at the top level. However, the No. 20 looked very much like a veteran in his last race […]

Aric Almirola Bubble Watch Begins at Richmond

Aric Almirola is right around the "Round of 12" playoff bubble as the second race of the playoffs takes place at Richmond on Saturday night. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver does have three top-ten results in his previous six attempts on the short track. The No. 10 car must do better than 16th last week as […]

Ryan Blaney Tries Brad Keselowski Build Again at Richmond

Ryan Blaney fully embraced the Keselowski build during the Spring race at Richmond. Blaney finished ninth on the track. It was the only top ten of his career on the course. It was a vital result for the Team Penske driver who had literally everything go wrong last year. He was one of the first […]

Brad Keselowski Needs Good Result at Richmond

Brad Keselowski has ended up in the top ten seven out of the last nine races at Richmond. The problem is this year has been a bit of a struggle at times. Keselowski finished just 14th at Richmond and crashed at Martinsville. Those are two tracks where he does pretty well. The "Keselowski" build has […]

Joey Logano Hopes to Continue Momentum at Richmond

Joey Logano managed to stay on the lead lap, avoid crashes, and finish eighth at Darlington last weekend. The Team Penske driver finished third in the Spring at Richmond while leading 49 laps. Logano tends to lead a decent chunk of races on the 3/4 mile track. Overall, the past three seasons have seen Logano […]

Kevin Harvick Expects More from Car at Richmond

Kevin Harvick has gotten more out of his Stewart-Haas Racing car than most could have expected. Another top five at Darlington last week helped his "playoff chase" hopes. Richmond is another track where Harvick typically performs well. Harvick enjoys an 8.17 average finish and five top-ten results in his last six races. Most are surprised […]
