Cole Custer May Maintain Some Track Position Sunday At Kansas

Cole Custer finished in the top ten last week at Talladega which played a heavy part in the NASCAR metrics system this week. The result is a tenth-place start on Sunday for the Stewart-Haas Racing driver. In two races at Kansas last year, Custer finished seventh and 14th. He was able to maintain track position […]


Kyle Busch Has Some intrigue On His Side At Kansas

The question is which Kyle Busch do we see on Sunday at Kansas. Do we see the driver that finished in the top ten in the last two Fall races at Kansas or the driver that struggled late in the Spring versions of the event. It's a great question. If one goes back to the […]


Christopher Bell May Not Have Much DFS Upside Sunday

Christopher Bell had some promise with a seventh in Martinsville and a fourth in Richmond two weeks ago. However, he faltered at Talladega resulting in a 17th place finish that leaves some concern this week at Kansas. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver does start from the eighth position on Sunday but has only raced here […]


Ryan Blaney Expected To Lurk Around Top Ten Sunday

Ryan Blaney tends to find a way to meander around the top ten in races and that makes him dangerous on Sunday at Kansas. He starts from the seventh position for the Buschy McBusch 400. The Team Penske driver has finished no lower than 11th in every race since Homestead in February. Blaney's results at […]


Austin Dillon Might Stay in Top Ten At Kansas Sunday

Austin Dillon may fall back a bit on Sunday at Kansas but has the car to lurk around the top ten. The Richard Childress Racing driver starts from the sixth position outside of Row 3. He has finished tenth and eighth the past two weeks. The only concern is how Dillon has fared over the […]


Matt DiBenedetto Is A Good Play At Kansas

Matt DiBenedetto keeps improving every week and now has consecutive top ten results under his belt. The fifth-place finish at Talladega paved the way to a fifth-place start for Sunday's race at Kansas. Before Richmond and Talladega, DiBenedetto had been knocking on the door as far as top ten results. The Wood Brothers Racing driver […]


Kevin Harvick Should Be One Of The Favorites At Kansas

Kevin Harvick feels at home on the Kansas Speedway track. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has enjoyed immense success on the 1.5-mile asphalt course. He has three wins in 30 starts with ten top-five finishes and 17 top ten results. He finished fourth and second last year as the No. 4 led 85 of the 267 […]


Michael McDowell Is A Risky Pick This Week At Kansas

Michael McDowell survived all the wrecks to finish third last week at Talladega. It was his first top ten finish since Homestead in February. Based on that result and a few other metrics. McDowell starts from the third position this week at Kansas. In 19 races, the Front Row Motorsports driver has started in the […]


William Byron May Lead Hendrick Motorsports Charge Sunday

William Byron inherits a great starting position this week at Kansas. He starts on the outside of Row 1 with Brad Keselowski. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has been one of the most consistent drivers in the series since the Daytona swing. Byron has finished in the top ten in every race including a win […]


Brad Keselowski Looks To Win Again At Kansas

Brad Keselowski gets a bit of a boost on Sunday's Buschy McBusch 400. He starts from the pole after thriving at Talladega last week. Keselowski won last week and should lead some laps this week. The Team Penske driver won the race two years ago. He finished second and fourth in two races on the […]

Hello everybody and welcome! We bring you another edition of NHL DFS on PrizePicks and that means our 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 you can choose to select plays in terms of fantasy points or […]


Matt DiBenedetto Finishes Fifth On Sunday At Geico 500

Matt DiBenedetto was finally in the position he wanted to be in. The white flag was raised and the Wood Brothers Racing driver prepared himself for the final 2.66 miles. DiBenedetto drove smart all day, but then he saw Ryan Blaney out of the corner of his eye. He made the decision to block Blaney, […]


Kevin Harvick Nails Down Top-Five Finish At Talladega

Kevin Harvick led 12 laps on Sunday, but it was his ability to be patient that led him to a fourth-place finish on the 2.66-mile tri-oval at the superspeedway. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver tried to get up to William Byron and Michael McDowell. However, Harvick just could not get the run needed on the white […]


Michael McDowell Catches Lower Lane To Finish Third Sunday

Sometimes it is better to have a little luck go one's way. Michael McDowell was able to get on the right line at the right time during the overtime on Sunday. The Talladega Superspeedway makes it paramount to be patient. McDowell was clever enough to time his run just right. He nearly got by William […]


William Byron Comes Up Just Short At Talladega

William Byron had the line but simply ran out of time on Sunday as Brad Keselowski edged him out by just over a 10th of a second. He was able to hold off Michael McDowell to finish in second place. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver narrowly avoided several wrecks, including at the end of Stage […]


Brad Keselowski Saves Best For Last At Talladega

Brad Keselowski did not lead a single lap of Sunday's race on the famed 2.66-mile track until the very end. He took advantage of the inside line just long enough to surge to the front of the field. From there, the Team Penske driver took advantage of Matt DiBenedetto's block of Ryan Blaney. He held […]


NASCAR DFS Prop Picks for 4/25 - PrizePicks

Hello everybody and welcome! We hit the tri-oval at Talladega Superspeedway for the Geico 500 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 […]


Ross Chastain Could Move Up Sunday Some Spots At Talladega

Ross Chastain may not have a top-ten result at Talladega in four appearances but he has drawn some notice. Chastain started in the mid 30's in every previous race. However, the Chip Ganassi Racing driver begins the Geico 500 18th. Consider that Chastian has enjoyed double-digit place improvements every race at Talladega, he is one […]


Bubba Wallace Expects Not To Be Factor At Talladega

Bubba Wallace is still learning his race car and how it runs on various tracks. Sunday is another chance for the 23XI Racing driver to hopefully gain some racing experience. Wallace does have two occasions where he improved his place differential by nine spots. However, at superspeedways, Wallace has basically on average maintained track position. […]


Erik Jones A Very Nice DFS Value Option On Sunday At Talladega

Erik Jones has had a few top-ten finishes this season. However, some may be surprised how well Jones has performed at Talladega. The Richard Petty Motorsports driver nearly won the Fall race on the superspeedway. He finished second after starting 16th. With two double-digit place differentials and top-five results to boot, Jones even led 13 […]


Chase Briscoe Possesses Little DFS Upside At Talladega

Chase Briscoe will get his first lesson at Talladega on the big stage Sunday. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has not finished in the top ten or even 15 all season. Also, Briscoe has not finished on the lead lap in his previous four races. That does not bode well at the superspeedway. The only bright […]


Kurt Busch May Surprise At Talladega Once Again

Kurt Busch has had a mixed bag of results at the Talladega Superspeedway. He goes into the Geico 500 enduring one tough season with no wins and not that close to a win on the season. At least, he has consecutive top-ten results from the Spring race. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver has three DNF's […]


Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Shows DFS Potential At Talladega

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has a pretty solid history at Talladega and with two-plus mile speedway in general. Both of his career wins came on these tracks. In 15 races at the Talladega Superspeedway, the JTG Daugherty Racing driver had nine top-ten results and six top-five finishes. That includes a second-place result last Spring. Yes, Stenhouse […]


NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Geico 500 - Monkey Knife Fight

Sunday afternoon features the Geico 500 from Talladega Superspeedway. Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, Martin Truex Jr., William Byron, and Alex Bowman will make up the top five to start the race. 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 […]


Kevin Harvick Might Have Tiny Bit Of DFS Upside At Talladega

Kevin Harvick has a half dozen top-ten finishes on the 2021 season but has not cracked the winners' circle. The expectation is that he will not this Sunday at Talladega. However, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver could lead some laps as he has in three of the previous four Spring races (including two last year). In […]


Austin Dillon May Not Spring Into Contention At Talladega

Austin Dillon starts 11th on Sunday at Talladega for the Geico 500. However, the Richard Childress Racing driver has crashed four times in his last eight appearances on the 2.66-mile track. Since his third-place finish during the 2016 Spring race, Dillon has finished 36th, 35th, 14th, and 39th. That inspires little confidence and Dillon has […]


Kyle Larson Not Recommended For Talladega This Week

Kyle Larson and Talladega do not mix. He has just two top-ten finishes on the track and has crashed in three of the previous four races. Also, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has finished on the lead lap just six times. That is a true coin flip for someone starting 12th on Sunday. Place differential […]


Aric Almirola Dicey DFS Pick At Talladega For Sunday

Aric Almirola finished sixth last week at Richmond but has crashed three times in nine races this season. Before last Fall's crash on lap 57 at the 2.66-mile tri-oval, Almirola enjoyed eight consecutive top-ten finishes at Talladega. That included a win in 2018 where he led the only lap that mattered -- the last one. […]


Matt DiBenedetto Building Towards Showing DFS Upside At Talladega

Matt DiBenedetto has been improving steadily in 2021. Though he has not led a lap all season, DiBenedetto finished ninth at Richmond last Sunday -- his best result of the year. Starting 13th should be a help to the Wood Brothers Racing driver. Talladega has been rough on DiBenedetto but he started 13th in last […]
