Martin Truex Jr. In Better Position To Win At Darlington

Martin Truex Jr. had one of the fastest cars at Darlington in 2020 but could not finish the race despite three chances. He finished sixth and tenth in the first two installments. Then, in the Fall race, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver led 196 laps but a bit of bad luck forced him back to […]


Kyle Busch Expects To Stay Around Contenders At Darlington

Kyle Busch broke into the win column last week at Kansas on his birthday in the Buschy McBusch 400. This week, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver starts from the third position and should be able to stay around or near the front of the race. The younger Busch has 12 top-ten results in 18 races […]


Brad Keselowski A Decent Option At Darlington

The problem may be that Brad Keselowski starts from the pole on Sunday for the Goodyear 400. There is good news. The last time he started from the top was last May and he led 80 laps before finishing 13th. In the second installment, the Team Penske driver had a fourth-place result. While he truly […]


Kevin Harvick Starts In Row 1 Looking To Win At Darlington

The metrics were kind to Kevin Harvick this week as he starts second on Sunday at the Goodyear 400. His Stewart-Haas Racing car arguably should be the favorite (+700 to win) at Darlington just based on recent results. Harvick knows how to race this track. Last week at Kansas, the driver simply ran out of […]


Denny Hamlin Expects To Contend Yet Again At Darlington

When does Denny Hamlin finally breakthrough? He is second on most betting sites at +550 to take the checkered flag on Sunday. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has been incredible on the 1.366-mile track with 13 top ten finishes and three wins in 17 appearances. His average career finish is 7.5 which is the lowest […]


Kyle Larson Odds On Favorite To Win At Darlington

Kyle Larson is a +400 favorite to win on Sunday at Darlington. A big reason for that is his consistency. Larson has finished in the top ten five out of six times on the track "too tough to tame". In his last four races at Darlington, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has led a total […]

NHL DFS Prop Picks for 5/3 - PrizePicks

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 […]


Chase Elliott Manages Fifth Place Finish At Kansas On Sunday

Chase Elliott got a much-needed result at Kansas on Sunday as he rode behind three Rod's to a fifth-place finish. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver again did not lead any laps on Sunday but was close to the front all day. Elliott was sixth after Stage 1 and fifth after Stage 2. He bounced back […]


Matt DiBenedetto Finishes Top-Five Again, This Time At Kansas

Matt DiBenedetto for the past several weeks had been saying his car was getting better and better. He was right. On Sunday, the Wood Brothers Racing driver started fifth and did not falter. Instead, he was in on the surge that Kevin Harvick and Brad Keselowski led. DiBenedetto ultimately finished fourth behind those two other […]


Brad Keselowski Led Early At Kansas, Settles For Third

Brad Keselowski had the fastest car early and possibly at the end as well. However, like Kevin Harvick, he ran out of laps on Sunday at the Kansas Speedway. Overall, the Ford driver led 72 of the first 82 laps of the race. Ultimately, he finished about seven-tenths of a second behind Kyle Busch. The […]


Kevin Harvick Nearly Pulls Off Win At Kansas

Kevin Harvick had the fresher tires and the momentum during the final laps of the Buschy McBusch 400. However, he simply ran out of time. With a couple of laps to go, Harvick had a tough road to try and reel in the two Toyota cars upfront. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver passed Martin Truex Jr […]


Kyle Busch Celebrates Birthday With Win At Kansas

Kyle Busch had a wild ride on Sunday yet surged up to the front with two laps to go. He was able to hold off Kevin Harvick and Brad Keselowski at the end to win the Buschy McBusch 400. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver completed a victory sweep as Busch won the truck race over […]


NASCAR DFS Prop Picks for 5/2 - PrizePicks

Hello everybody and welcome! We hit the speedway at Kansas for the Buschy McBusch 400 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 […]


Chris Buescher Has Limited Upside At Kansas On Sunday

Chris Buescher has not shown much improvement of late. He has a negative place differential in his last three races. The Roush Fenway Racing driver starts from the 16th position on Sunday for the Buschy McBusch 400. The 1.5-mile track should be a refuge from the heat he has been feeling in the media. He […]


Chase Briscoe Tries To Repeat Run From Last Week On Sunday At Kansas

This race track is not quite as intimidating but Chase Briscoe showed he could scratch, claw, and do whatever it takes to succeed. That result became nearly a top-ten finish as the Stewart-Haas Racing driver finished 11th at Talladega. Briscoe starts from the 19th position this week and maybe off most radars for Sunday. Do […]


Ryan Newman May Just Move Up Again On Sunday At Kansas

Ryan Newman has shown an ability to launch some nice runs in races this season. He has improved his overall track position by nine or more spots five times in 2021. That is quite impressive. The Roush Fenway Racing Driver starts in 14th on Sunday from Kansas for the Buschy McBusch 400. That presents to […]


Daniel Suarez Needs A Result At Kansas On Sunday Afternoon

Daniel Suarez has struggled since his fourth-place finish at Bristol. He led 58 laps there and has not led one since. The only sign of progress was that he did finish on the lead lap at Talladega. Even then, he had a place differential of -4. That dampened the enthusiasm from Richmond where Suarez made […]


Ross Chastain A Wildcard At Kansas On Sunday

Ross Chastain was able to maintain track position in his last few races but will need to make some moves on Sunday in Kansas. He starts in the 24th position as the Chip Ganassi Racing driver did not rank high enough in the metrics. Now, Chastain did lead 12 laps at Talladega and that could […]


NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Buschy McBusch 400 - Monkey Knife Fight

Sunday afternoon features the Buschy McBusch 400 from Kansas Speedway. Brad Keselowski, William Byron, Michael McDowell, Kevin Harvick, and Matt DiBenedetto 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 […]


Ricky Stenhouse Jr. One To Stay Away From At Kansas

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has faltered a good bit in his last three races finishing outside the top ten in each of them. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver wound up 33rd last week at Talladega after a rough afternoon. Furthermore, at Kansas, Stenhouse Jr. has ended up outside the top ten in every one of his […]


Alex Bowman Could Ride Hendrick Motorsports Wave At Kansas

A common theme this week is a lot of the "contenders" starting in positions they normally would not. Alex Bowman is no exception as the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver begins Sunday 25th. There is a little bit of hesitation here as Bowman has not finished two of the last three races. However, the one in […]


Joey Logano Motivated For Kansas Race With Positive DFS Value

Joey Logano had a rough week as he went airborne last week at Talladega after coming into contact with Denny Hamlin. Thankfully he was okay and is good to race this week at Kansas. Will that collision impact him any on Sunday? Probably not. Logano had a mixed bag of results last year on the […]


Kyle Larson Should Move Up Field Quickly On Sunday At Kansas

Kyle Larson starts all the way down at 32nd position on Sunday for the Buschy McBusch 400. That is no misprint. The piece of metal in his engine area last week caused him to bow out after just three laps. That 40th place finish resulted in a huge downturn in the metrics. That presents incredible […]


Chase Elliott Possesses Place Differential Chance On Sunday At Kansas

Chase Elliott's defense of his 2020 Cup Series win has been problematic from the beginning. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver struggled to get back on the lead lap last week at Talladega while finishing 24th. Between that and his 12th place finish at Richmond, Elliott starts all the way down in 17th at Kansas on […]


Denny Hamlin Carries Huge DFS Potential At Kansas On Sunday

Denny Hamlin's rough Sunday at Talladega helps this week at Kansas. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver starts all the way down at 20th on Sunday. Up until Talladega, Hamlin had finished in the top five in six consecutive races padding his Cup Series lead. He got into several collisions last week and ended up three […]


Martin Truex Jr. Enjoys Rare Bonus DFS Upside On Sunday At Kansas

Martin Truex Jr. is not the only "dominator" that will benefit from a poorer than usual start position on Sunday at Kansas. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver begins from 15th on the 1.5-mile track. Truex Jr. won at Martinsville and placed fifth at Richmond. Last week, he was involved in a nasty wreck that took […]


Bubba Wallace Doesn't Have Same Potential As Last Week At Kansas

Bubba Wallace had a wild ride at Talladega. He even won Stage 2 of the race for his first stage win in his career. That glory was short-lived as the 23XI Racing driver fell backward to the 19th position when the race was done. Furthermore, Wallace enters this week 13th which limits any place differential […]


Ryan Preece Not Expected To Be Factor At Kansas On Sunday

Ryan Preece enjoyed a nice run at Talladega last week as he led nine laps and finished in 14th. The +15 place differential caught the eye of a few in the DFS world. However, this week he starts 12th at Kansas. Three of his first four races on the 1.5-mile track have ended poorly for […]


Tyler Reddick Has Little Positive DFS Value On Sunday At Kansas

Tyler Reddick has three top-ten finishes in his last four races but Kansas was unkind to him in 2020. He finished in 13th and 25th. Reddick did not factor much in the final laps of either race and lost track position. Last Spring's race saw him fall out of the top ten and that could […]
