Daniel Suarez Not To Be Factor DFS Wise At Martinsville

Daniel Suarez will have the benefit of starting from the 11th position. However, the Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 has provided the TrackHouse Racing driver little relief lately. 2020 saw Suarez finish 27th in both races as he struggled with his Toyota finishing six and three laps off the lead lap. Though his Chevy […]


Kyle Busch Could Maintain Position At Martinsville

Kyle Busch starts from the 12th position at the Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500. The Martinsville Speedway has mostly been kind to the Joe Gibbs Racing driver as he has 18 top ten finishes in 31 races. He has even won twice. The last two seasons have been a little rougher on Busch as […]


Kyle Larson Has DFS Potential At Martinsville Speedway

Did Kyle Larson find the right mix last year at the Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500? He finished ninth but led six laps before getting caught low on the track. It was his first top ten finish at Martinsville since 2016. Larson starts this year's Spring race 19th which offers some place differential improvement […]


Bubba Wallace Has DFS Upside At Martinsville

Bubba Wallace does not have a top ten to his name this season as the 23 XI Racing driver has struggled with his car. However, Wallace has shown an ability to improve his track position at Martinsville. In his previous four races, Wallace improved nine, 13, 12, and 11 spots respectively. This week, he has […]


Brad Keselowski Might Just Win In Martinsville

Do not let the tenth place starting position fool you, Brad Keselowski has as good of a chance at winning as any driver this week. The Team Penske driver has finished in the top five in six consecutive races on the Martinsville track. That includes the Spring 2019 race where Keselowski dominated from almost start […]


Kevin Harvick Could Meander Around Top Ten At Martinsville

Kevin Harvick starts from the ninth position at the Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500. Harvick is another one of those drivers that surprisingly has not won a race in 2021. He has a couple of top-five results but not that breakthrough. This might be a tough week for the Stewart-Haas Racing driver as he […]


Ryan Newman May Not Fare So Well At Martinsville

Ryan Newman starts from the eighth spot for the Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500. The short track has not been quite so kind to him the past couple of seasons. He has finished tenth or worse in each case. His Roush Fenway Racing car just cannot get a run on this track to get […]


Martin Truex Jr. Odds On Favorite to Win at Martinsville

Martin Truex Jr. likes to race the short tracks. He won with his truck last week at Bristol and nearly pulled off the double. A cut tire derailed his hopes last week but the Joe Gibbs Racing driver showed why he will not sneak up on anyone this week at Martinsville. Also, the amount of […]


Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Tries To Repeat Bristol Result At Martinsville

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. shocked many as he finished second on the dirt at Bristol last week. He never did lead a lap but the JTG Daugherty Racing driver was able to negotiate traffic and the wrecks to stay in contention. In the end, his Chevy had enough to stay close but not win. It was […]


Can Chase Elliott Do It Once More At Martinsville?

Chase Elliott and his crew found the right combination last Fall at the Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500. He led 236 laps out of the 500 and pulled away at the right time to win. This time, he starts from the fifth position as the Hendrick Motorsports driver is looking for a big result […]


Ryan Blaney Rising Among Possible Contenders At Martinsville

Ryan Blaney starts from the fourth position at the Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500. The question now is can the driver win on this short track? Blaney has come close the past four races at Martinsville. That's right. He has finished fourth, fifth and two second-place results to boot. It is no surprise why […]


William Byron Could Have Less DFS Upside Than Forecasted Sunday

William Byron starts third at Martinsville but the Hendrick Motorsports driver may not have an easy time staying in that position. It has been a mixed bag of results for the Chevy racer at the Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500. He did finish second and eighth in two previous races before a crash ended […]


Denny Hamlin Could Break Through Into Win Column At Martinsville

Is this the week Denny Hamlin finally wins a race in 2021? The Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 is being held at Martinsville. This is a place where Hamlin has done exceedingly well -- winning five times in 30 races. 2020 was not kind to the Joe Gibbs Racing driver at the track but […]


Joey Logano Starts From Pole, Expects To Contend

Joey Logano comes in with momentum after winning the Bristol dirt race last week. He draws another short track this week in Martinsville. Last season, Logano led 234 laps before falling to fourth late in the Spring race. The Team Penske driver finished in third during the Fall race and led 19 more laps. He […]

Martin Truex Jr. Cuts Tire, Falls Out Of Contention At Bristol

Martin Truex Jr. had one of the dominant race cars of the day on Monday. He led a race-high 126 laps and took Stage 1 at the Food City Dirt Race. Truex Jr. turned in several fastest laps. He was still in the top-five at the end of the race when the Joe Gibbs Racing […]

Daniel Suarez was not expected to contend for a win but found a way to get up to the front on Monday. He led a total of 58 laps before getting passed by Joey Logano with about 60 laps to go. Suarez was able to keep pace enough to hold off Ryan Newman for fourth […]


Denny Hamlin Finishes Third Again At Food City Dirt Race

Denny Hamlin tapped the wall quite a few times on Monday at Bristol. He stayed up near the lead and even briefly led the race for a lap. Ultimately, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver could not keep pace with Joey Logano's car during the final restart. Hamlin held on to third place giving the driver […]


Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Surprises Many, Finishes Second At Bristol

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. had a very good car but was not expected to contend for a win at Bristol. Several times, he was in a position to win and nearly pulled it off. In the end, Stenhouse Jr. finished in second on Monday. The No.47 Chevy driver finished a little over a half-second behind Joey […]


Joey Logano Pulls Away Late And Wins Food City Dirt Race

Joey Logano survived all the wrecks on Monday afternoon then surged ahead to victory at the Food City Dirt Race in Bristol. He led the final 61 laps of the race after passing Daniel Suarez.

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. Dicey Pick For Bristol

Though Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has been pretty steady the past few races, the dirt track may be too much for Stenhouse Jr. on Sunday. Maintaining track position will not be easy. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver ended up 35th in practice session one and 19th on Friday in practice session two. This partially illustrated what […]
