Brad Keselowski A True Wildcard At Talladega on Sunday

It is rare to say but Brad Keselowski could finish anywhere at Talladega on Sunday. That can be said about every driver but Keselowski is a true wildcard. He is willing to take risks like the Team Penske racer did last week at Richmond. That backfired but Keselowski did lead 25 laps in all before […]


Kyle Busch Not Such A Good DFS Pick At Talladega

Kyle Busch had a rough 2020 on the Talladega Superspeedway. He finished outside the top-25 in both races and crashed out late in the Fall race. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver started third and sixth respectively but fell out of contention twice. The question is does he have the race car to even stay in […]


Chase Elliott Tries To Break Through In 2021 At Talladega

Chase Elliott has not taken a checkered flag in 2021 after winning the NASCAR Cup Series last year. Elliott nearly won at Martinsville but finished outside of the top ten last week at Martinsville. That only added frustration for the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver as he is their only driver to not win a race […]


Ryan Blaney One To Watch At Talladega on Sunday

Ryan Blaney may be one of the few drivers to have Talladega dialed in so to speak. He has won two of the last three races at the track. He was a victim of a crash during the Fall race last season but Blaney won the Spring race. The Team Penske driver led 63 laps […]


Christopher Bell May Not Be Worth Risk Sunday At Talladega

Christopher Bell starts from the sixth spot on Sunday for the Geico 500. However, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver may find the track, not to his liking. He crashed out on lap number one last year in the Fall race and dropped well out of contention during the Spring version. He did lead four laps […]


Alex Bowman May Finish In Top Ten Again At Talladega

Alex Bowman surprised many last week when he zoomed by Denny Hamlin at Richmond during the final restart. His win was the third for a Hendrick Motorsports driver on the season. What can he provide for an encore at Talladega? The Spring race has been more fruitful for the No. 48. He has three consecutive […]


William Byron Expects To Contend In Sunday's Geico 500

William Byron showed last year that the Hendrick Motorsports car was quite fast at Talladega. He started in 21st and finished fourth during that Fall race. Furthermore, he was right near the front at the very end. There is a going theory that the Hendrick cars could be very strong this weekend. Byron has only […]


Martin Truex Jr. Is Risky Proposition At Talladega Superspeedway

Martin Truex Jr. is the only two-time winner this year on the NASCAR Cup Series. Since the Daytona swing, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has hung around in contention pretty much every race aside from Bristol when he cut a tire late. However, Talladega has proven to be a rough track. Truex Jr. has just […]


Joey Logano Could Win At Talladega On Sunday

Joey Logano is one of those drivers that can win on any track at any time. The Team Penske driver starts off from the second position on Sunday which could put him in a nice position to lead a good number of laps. He led 49 laps at Richmond last week and almost took back […]


Denny Hamlin Still Looking For First Win Of 2021 At Talladega

Talladega Superspeedway is a mixed bag of crazy that tests anyone -- even Denny Hamlin. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has enjoyed better experiences of late on the 2.66-mile tri-oval. He has three top-five finishes in a row including a win at the Fall event last year. However, 2019 saw Hamlin crash out after 80 […]

NHL DFS Prop Picks for 4/20 - 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 […]


Aric Almirola Had More Upside Than Expected, Finished Sixth At Richmond

Aric Almirola had a better race car than even he could have imagined. He stayed in the top ten the entire second half of the race. Ultimately, Almirola finished in sixth on Sunday at Richmond Raceway and was on the cusp of passing Martin Truex Jr. for fifth even. It was an impressive result for […]


Martin Truex Jr. Endures Rough Day, Still Finishes Fifth At Richmond

Martin Truex Jr. had the pole on Sunday and even led 107 laps but in the end, just did not have the car to win the Toyota Owners 400. However, he battled his way to a fifth-place finish securing valuable Cup Series points. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver was second in each of the two […]


Christopher Bell Stays In Top Five, Finishes Fourth At Richmond

Christopher Bell did not lead any laps but kept close throughout and finished fourth on Sunday at the Richmond Raceway. Bell was sixth after Stage.1 and dropped to ninth after Stage 2. However, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver was able to use the banking and passing lanes on the track very well. It was how […]


Joey Logano Ends Up On Podium Behind Hamlin and Bowman

Joey Logano went back and forth but consistently was third at the end of each stage on Sunday at Richmond. Logano wound up just behind Hamlin and finished third at Richmond Raceway. The Team Penske driver led 49 laps overall but did not have the fastest car during the short runs. It was that final […]


Denny Hamlin Settles For Second Again At Richmond

Denny Hamlin excelled on short runs all day and was in the lead on the restart with ten laps to go. Then, it happened again. Hamlin was passed this time by Alex Bowman and Bowman pulled away to win. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver settled for second place. Hamlin accumulated the most Cup Series points […]


Alex Bowman Uses Restart To Win At Richmond

Alex Bowman took advantage of the final restart on Sunday to surge past Denny Hamlin. Once in the lead, Bowman never looked back, led the final ten laps, and took home the checkered flag. The Toyota Owners 400 was the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver's first-ever win on a short track. It was just the third […]


NASCAR DFS Prop Picks for 4/18 - PrizePicks

Hello everybody and welcome! We hit another short track at Richmond Raceway 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 you can choose […]


Erik Jones Is A Value DFS Option On Sunday For Toyota Owners 400

Erik Jones starts all the way back in 30th on Sunday at Richmond Raceway. That makes the Richard Petty Motorsports driver an intriguing choice because of his cheap DFS price. He was running well before the rear gear went in his car last week at Martinsville. It would not be surprising to see Jones get […]


Daniel Suarez A Question Mark At Richmond On Sunday

It is anyone's guess how Daniel Suarez will fare at Richmond Raceway on Sunday. He excelled at Bristol finishing in fourth. He did not handle Martinsville well. Ultimately, the TrackHouse Racing driver crashed out on lap 386. He was not much of a factor in the race anyway. The 3/4 mile track was unkind to […]


Chase Briscoe's Rookie Learning Lesson Continues At Richmond

Chase Briscoe does not carry too much DFS upside at Richmond on Sunday. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver starts from the 26th position and has not finished on the lead lap in his last three races which were all short tracks. It seems Briscoe has not gotten a handle on tracks like this. Richmond's 14-degree banking […]


Ryan Newman Bit Of A Wildcard At Richmond Raceway

Ryan Newman could be an intriguing yet risky choice for Sunday's Toyota Owners 400. He could run a few laps down or surprise everyone with a top-five result. That is the kind of drive the Roush Fenway Racing driver can deliver. He does start 19th which offers some room for an improved position. In 2019, […]


Alex Bowman Not Recommended For Richmond

Alex Bowman may be too far down in the field to factor much into the Toyota Owners 400 on Sunday. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has not finished on the lead lap in two of the last three races at Richmond. Also, he has had several negative place differentials as well recently. His season has […]


Aric Almirola Has A Little Upside Sunday For Toyota Owners 400

Aric Almirola has not had an easy 2021 and has finished outside the top ten in every single range. Sunday may not be different at the Richmond Raceway. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver does show a little positive place differential possibility though. In 11 of his previous dozen races on the 3/4 mile track, Almirola has […]


Brad Keselowski A Great But Chalky Play At Richmond

Brad Keselowski starts all the way down in 20th on Sunday at Richmond Raceway. The Team Penske driver has finished in the top ten five consecutive times. That culminated in an unexpected win last year on the 3/4 mile track. The Fall race saw Keselowski lead 182 of the 400 laps en route to the […]


NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Toyota Owners 400 - Monkey Knife Fight

Sunday afternoon features the Toyota Owners 400 from Richmond Raceway. Martin Truex Jr., Denny Hamlin, Chase Elliott, William Byron, and Joey Logano 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 […]


Bubba Wallace Bit Of A Question Mark On Sunday At Richmond

Bubba Wallace improved nine positions at Martinsville last week and led 23 laps. Could he do a bit of the same this week at Richmond? Every race is a learning experience for the 23XI Racing driver and that makes gauging Wallace a little dangerous. He has shown some interesting place differential his last two tries […]


Ricky Stenhouse Jr. May Stay Around Top Ten At Richmond

A bit of a pattern has emerged with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Aside from nearly winning at Bristol, the JTG Daugherty Racing driver has stayed right around the top-ten in 2021 often. Could Stenhouse Jr. find a way to the podium once more? That does not seem likely this week. His results have pretty much in […]


Tyler Reddick Has Decent Upside At Richmond Sunday

Tyler Reddick has hit the short-track season with vigor finishing in seventh and eighth at Bristol and Martinsville respectively. The Richard Childress Racing driver starts from the 13th position on Sunday at Richmond. His only race in NASCAR's top tier on the 3/4 mile track showed Reddick's upside. Reddick improved from 22nd to 11th. His […]
