Martin Truex Jr. Fades Some Late, Finishes Fourth at Vegas

Martin Truex Jr. just did not have the speed late but still finished fourth at Las Vegas on Sunday night. He was fourth after Stage 2 and it looked like the No. 19 car might challenge to win. That was not the case. Truex Jr. led just one lap early in the race and that […]


Kyle Busch Ends Up on Podium at Las Vegas

While Kyle Busch expected a better result, Las Vegas was kinder to the younger Busch than Darlington was. The No. 18 car finished third more than 12 seconds behind winner Denny Hamlin on Sunday night. The stage points that Busch racked up were helpful as well. It should be enough of a boost to buoy […]


Chase Elliott Nearly Wins at Las Vegas

Chase Elliott had some excellent numbers in Las Vegas but suffered from some bad luck. On Sunday night, it was the rest of the Hendricks Motorsports Racing team that suffered while Elliott nearly rode his No. 9 car to victory. In the end, he came up just short behind the winner, Denny Hamlin. The second-place […]


Denny Hamlin Does It Again, Wins South Point 400

Denny Hamlin took advantage of opportunities and won the South Point 400 on Sunday night from Las Vegas. That guarantees him a spot in the Round Of 8. It was his second race of the season. Also, this was the second time Hamlin won an opening three-race segment during the playoff chase. The No. 11 […]


NASCAR DFS Prop Picks for 9/26 - PrizePicks

Hello once again everyone!  We hit the South Point 400 from Las Vegas Motor 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 […]


NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: South Point 400 - Monkey Knife Fight

Sunday night features the fourth race of the chase at Las Vegas. The South Point 400 is raced on the 1.5-mile tri-oval. 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 […]


Kurt Busch Has Nothing To Lose At Las Vegas

Kurt Busch is just racing out the string so to speak as the No. 1 car starts 20th on Sunday at Las Vegas. The elder Busch won the late-season race last year much the same way he comes in on Sunday night. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver was eliminated last week after a 19th-place result […]


Chase Briscoe A Question Mark At Las Vegas

Chase Briscoe begins Sunday from the 19th spot in Las Vegas. He started 24th earlier this year on the track and ended up 21st. However, at another intermediate track, Briscoe improved from 21st to 11th. That was at Michigan. What does one make of the Stewart-Haas Racing driver's chances for Sunday? Honestly, place differential of […]


Ross Chastain Might Move Up At Las Vegas

Ross Chastain did not do well in his first 2021 Las Vegas appearance (23rd). However, his past three races have shown the Chip Ganassi Racing driver to be one of the up and comers. A third, seventh, and 14th have some wondering what he can do now on the intermediate track. He starts 18th on […]


Aric Almirola Not Likely To Contend At Vegas

Aric Almirola has been lingering inside the top 20 at Las Vegas throughout his career. The likelihood is that we'll see more of the same on Sunday. There have been a couple of top-10 results, but the consistent body of work says otherwise. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has finished 13th and 17th during the last […]


Erik Jones A Decent Possibility At Las Vegas

Erik Jones could have some DFS value at Las Vegas on Sunday. The early race this year saw Jones climb inside the top ten before settling for a tenth-place finish. Now, the Richard Petty Motorsports Racing driver has never led a lap on the 1.5-mile track but has shown some speed and downforce to come […]


Austin Dillon Not Expected To Contend At Las Vegas

While Austin Dillon has enjoyed a more consistent run lately, expectations are low for him as he starts 15th on Sunday at Las Vegas. Dillon has not finished between 10th and 20th in nine of his previous 11 races. That includes zero single-digit results, however. In the previous three races, Dillon has not led a […]


Matt DiBenedetto Has A Chance At Las Vegas

Matt DiBenedetto has shown the ability to drive well at Las Vegas and has done it pretty consistently. The Wood Brothers Racing driver enjoyed a plus-14 place differential in the early 2021 race. The fact that DiBenedetto has been in the positive every time at Vegas bodes well for Sunday night. Last year, the No. […]


Tyler Reddick Likely Not Factor at Las Vegas

Tyler Reddick and the Las Vegas track have just not gone well together. In three races at the highest tier, the No. 8 car has not finished in the top 10. The summer race last year featured Reddick not running all that well, then crashing out after 157 laps. The Richard Childress Racing driver starts […]


Christopher Bell Might Be Dangerous Choice At Las Vegas

Christopher Bell did wind up seventh at Las Vegas earlier this season. Now, the question is how does Bell perform under the lights on Sunday night. That answer is not clear. Bell on intermediate tracks has been good but nothing spectacular all season for Joe Gibbs Racing. Bell begins from the 12th position on Sunday. […]


Chase Elliott Could Be The Weak Link At Las Vegas

Chase Elliott has not fared too well at Las Vegas. That includes a couple of crashes and several car and driver errors the past few seasons. There is one interesting quirk though. Elliott does have the speed and particularly earlier in these races. He has led 20 or more laps during this span. The No. […]


Kyle Busch Positioned For Some Success At Las Vegas

Though Kyle Busch has had somewhat mixed results at Las Vegas, his car is in a position for improvement this time around. His car has been better with sixth and third-place results in the last two appearances from the tri-oval. The 1.5-mile track shows an overall Busch consistency with a 7.66 average finish. That comes […]


Joey Logano Is Risky Heading To Las Vegas

Joey Logano has had a rough 2021 on most intermediate tracks. Both of his wins at Las Vegas happened during the early-season race. The summer/fall version has been less kind to Logano and Team Penske. The No. 22 car finished 14th in 2020. Also, even earlier this year, a ninth-place result had some scratching their […]


Brad Keselowski Knows Urgency Is High In Las Vegas

Brad Keselowski settled for second place earlier in 2021 in Las Vegas. He started from the tenth position, led 27 laps, and narrowly missed out on the victory. The Team Penske driver likes intermediate tracks a lot. He has had five wins on intermediate courses since 2018 and has the best average finish in that […]


Alex Bowman Part Of Possible Hendrick Vegas Resurgence

Alex Bowman begins Sunday's race from Las Vegas from the seventh position. During the Spring race, the No. 48 driver had several issues which resulted in him finishing two laps down. Sure, there is a reason this might happen again. However, Bowman was one of the fastest cars last week during the final stages at […]


Denny Hamlin A Bit Risky For Las Vegas Race

Denny Hamlin has been a factor in all three races so far during the playoff chase. That included a win at Darlington, a near-win at Richmond, and a top ten at Bristol. Each race had one common theme for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver. He led a significant chunk of laps. Overall, the No. 11 […]


Kevin Harvick Finding Speed In Time For Las Vegas

Kevin Harvick came into the chase under fire. He still is but for different reasons. Harvick had a run-in with Chase Elliott at Bristol but he led 71 laps. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver wound up second at the end of the race. Consider his Las Vegas track record and maybe the issues of the first […]


Martin Truex Jr. Figures To Be In The Mix At Las Vegas

Martin Truex Jr. was one of the more consistent drivers during the first three races of the chase. He finished fourth at Darlington, seventh at Bristol while winning at Richmond. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has six top-ten results in his previous seven races at Las Vegas. Furthermore, that includes a win and an average […]


William Byron Finding His Form Bodes Well For Vegas

William Byron saved his playoffs with a top-five finish at Bristol. Arguably, the next three races lend themselves to better results ahead. This starts with Las Vegas where Byron ended up eighth earlier in the year. He led 25 laps in that race as well. While winning is not likely, Byron just needs that consistent […]


Ryan Blaney Should Contend At Las Vegas

Ryan Blaney starts from the second position this Sunday night for the South Point 400 from Las Vegas. Some may forget that Blaney finished in the top-five during the first race earlier this season. Will Blaney win? That does seem unlikely. Will he contend? That is more likely for the Team Penske driver. Blaney got […]


Kyle Larson A Favorite Once More At Las Vegas

Kyle Larson is the best driver from a wins and laps led standpoint this year. The Hendricks Motorsports Racing team has been dominant, but especially Larson. The No. 5 car has been incredible with a 5.83 average finish and five top-10s in his last six races at Las Vegas. Larson is also starting from the […]


Robert Thomas Signs Bridge Contract With St. Louis

Robert Thomas signed a new two-year deal with the St. Louis Blues late on Tuesday night. This was so he could get into training camp without the contract being a lingering issue. The deal pays the forward an AAV of $2.8 million. Thomas had a bit of a down year with just three goals and […]


Rasmus Dahlin Signs Three-Year Contract With Buffalo

Rasmus Dahlin will be in training camp for the Buffalo Sabres after signing a three-year deal Wednesday morning. The defenseman signed for an AAV of $6 million. He is just 21-years old but under Don Granato has made strides despite COVID last season. Dahlin began to average close to 25 minutes average time on ice […]


Kirill Kaprizov Inks New Five-Year Pact With Minnesota

Kirill Kaprizov signed a five-year deal with the Minnesota Wild early Tuesday evening. The contract will pay him $9 million per season. Kaprizov almost hoped for a deal like this from the beginning. He even walked away from an eight-year deal with similar dollars over the summer. Little of that matters now as the Calder […]


Elvis Merzlikins Signs Five-Year Extension With Columbus

The Columbus Blue Jackets and Elvis Merzlikins agreed to a five-year extension on Tuesday. Merzlikins will get paid an AAV of $5.4 million. He went 8-12-5 last year for the Blue Jackets with a 2.77 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage. The goaltender followed up a brilliant rookie season with a solid second act. […]
