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 […]


Chris Buescher Not Likely To Be Factor At Richmond

Chris Buescher was thought to be on the cusp of getting into that upper tier this season. So far, all the Roush Fenway Racing driver has to show for his efforts is one top-ten result in eight races. Richmond has not been a refuge for Buescher either as he has not finished in the top […]


Austin Dillon May Have A Little DFS Upside At Richmond Sunday

Austin Dillon has finished outside the top ten in his last two races on short tracks. Sunday features Richmond which is a 3/4 mile track with nasty 14-degree banking. However, the Richard Childress Racing driver has three top-ten finishes in his last four races on the 3/4 mile track. Dillon was able to get on […]


Kyle Busch May Finish On The Podium At Richmond

Kyle Busch has not had the best of 2021 seasons but he comes to a track he knows well in Richmond on Sunday. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has two top-five results in eight races and no wins this year. On the other hand, the younger Busch has six wins in 30 races at the […]


Kevin Harvick May Not Have Easy Time At Richmond

Kevin Harvick has been an enigma this racing season so far. He started and finished in ninth last week at Martinsville. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has ended up no lower than seventh in his last five races at Richmond. However, the Toyota Owners 400 may be more difficult this time as he starts ninth. Harvick […]


Christopher Bell Surprised At Martinsville, Could Again At Richmond

Christopher Bell showed it is not how you start but how you finish last week at the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500. He started in 23rd and finished seventh. This week, he draws a more favorable eighth-place position. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver now has two top ten results in six races on short tracks. […]


Ryan Blaney May Be Risky DFS Pick On Sunday At Richmond

Ryan Blaney faded a little last Sunday at Martinsville as he dropped just outside the top ten into 11th. Blaney started in the top five and the Team Penske driver opens from seventh this weekend. He led 157 laps of the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 but the long run at the end cost the […]


Kyle Larson's Consistency Expects To Keep Him in Contention Sunday

Since the Daytona part of the season, Kyle Larson has been one of the most consistent drivers in NASCAR. He has finished no lower than seventh aside from the race at Bristol where he encountered multiple issues. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver was able to move up through the field last Sunday and finished fifth […]


Joey Logano Should Again Lurk Around The Front At Richmond

Joey Logano had a good race car last week but could not quite sustain the pace during the final 42 laps last week at Martinsville. The result was a sixth-place finish that left the Team Penske driver a little disappointed. Logano has enjoyed a good deal of success at the 3/4 mile track previous years […]


William Byron Could Stay In Contention At Toyota Owners 400

William Byron led a few laps and managed to stay in the top-five at the end of Sunday's finish at Martinsville. His fourth-place finish showed that he could keep pace even on the longer runs that short-track racing can feature. This week, Byron races on the 3/4 mile Richmond Raceway with its 14-degree banking. Richmond […]


Chase Elliott Expects To Contend Again At Richmond Sunday

Chase Elliott had enough in the tank to surge to second place late during last Sunday's race at Martinsville. The Hendrick Motorsports driver got past Denny Hamlin but could not catch Martin Truex Jr. It was Elliott's second runner-up of the 2021 season. He was a mere couple of seconds from winning in the end. […]


Denny Hamlin Still Eyes First Win At Richmond

It is hard to believe that Denny Hamlin has not won a race this season. He led 276 laps last week at Martinsville before getting passed by Martin Truex Jr. Hamlin could not sustain his pace during the final 42 laps and dropped to third place. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has finished in the […]
