NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 - Monkey Knife Fight

Sunday features the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 from Atlanta. Denny Hamlin, Martin Truex Jr, Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski, and Chase Elliott 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 […]

Austin Cindric Excellent DFS Value Choice On Sunday

Austin Cindric has performed great at the Xfinity Racing Series races and surprised with a top-15 finish at Daytona after starting 39th. He gets another try this week as Cindric starts 39th again. His price is so low that Cindric deserves a look based on this alone. The Roger Penske Racing driver knows cars very […]

Chris Buescher Hard To Recommend This Week At Atlanta

Chris Buescher has had mostly a vanilla sort of season result-wise. Aside from the Daytona road race, Buescher has started in the teens the past three races and finished in the teens. The Roush Fenway Racing driver did briefly get into the top-ten in Vegas and Phoenix but could not stay there. Also, last year […]

Ryan Newman Might Struggle Again At Atlanta

Ryan Newman starts from the 28th position which should make him advantageous from a place differential standpoint. However, the last two speedway races in Vegas and Phoenix have seen Newman tumble backwards on the track (-5 and -7 respectively). More troubling is that in those races, the Roush Fenway Racing driver had been mired in […]

Ross Chastain Offers Slight Upside At Atlanta

Ross Chastain could be a lower-cost DFS pick at Atlanta but expectations should be tempered. He does have one top-ten result this year. However, he has not led a single lap this season nor come close. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver does start at 21st, which is higher than where he usually starts at Atlanta […]

Matt DiBenedetto Is A Good Choice At Atlanta

Matt DiBenedetto has been quietly racing well in his last three starts with place differentials of +9, +14. and +6. The Wood Brothers Racing driver comes into Atlanta with a little bit of momentum. He starts 20th again this week and could move up early. DiBenedetto has done so in the past two races. Atlanta […]

Kyle Busch's Track History Makes Him Factor At Atlanta

Kyle Busch is still a bit of buyer beware for the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. He has not led a single lap this year and finishing races well have been an issue. However, it is hard to ignore what the younger Busch has accomplished at the Atlanta track. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has […]

Kurt Busch Not Expected To Be Factor At Atlanta

Kurt Busch may have some forays into the top-ten but do not expect him to stay there on Sunday. The 2021 season has not been very kind to the Chip Ganassi Racing driver as he has had a negative place differential in every race aside from the Daytona Road course. Also, Busch has not led […]

Aric Almirola Is A Risky Option On Sunday

Aric Almirola starts from the 16th spot on Sunday at the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. Last week, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver surprised many by nearly finishing in the top-ten (11th). He came from the 32nd position at the start and charged into the top-ten a few times during the Phoenix race. His car has […]

Alex Bowman A Decent DFS Pick In Atlanta On Sunday

While Alex Bowman has not finished in the top-ten at Atlanta, he has gradually improved each year from a results standpoint. Last year, he nearly finished in the top-ten with a 12th place finish. He was a lap down but the race last year had fewer than ten drivers on the lead lap. The key […]

Austin Dillon Not The Wisest Of Choices On Sunday At Atlanta

Austin Dillon does start 13th on Sunday at the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 but history has not been on his side. Eight races on the Atlanta track have not yielded a single top-ten result. Furthermore, his place differential has been minimal one way or the other since Homestead. Honestly, the Richard Childress Racing driver […]

Tyler Reddick Carries Some Upside On Sunday At Atlanta

Tyler Reddick may be buried towards the rear of the field (29th) but he does have one of the fastest race cars at Atlanta. The Richard Childress Racing driver can get up closer to the front of the field. The problem is since that second-place finish at Homestead, Reddick has struggled to stay on the […]

Ryan Blaney Could Inch Up And Provide Upside Sunday

Ryan Blaney is an interesting driver this week in Atlanta because he showed last year that the Penske Racing driver could contend on this 325-lap track. He finished fourth but honestly, could have won the race. The previous year he led 41 laps before running into trouble and finishing a lap down. Blaney starts in […]

William Byron Shows Less DFS Upside On Sunday

William Byron bounced around the track last Sunday in Phoenix but never led a lap. The possibilities exist that the Hendrick Motorsports driver could have the same fate this Sunday in Atlanta. Since the Daytona races, Byron won in Homestead and followed that up with two eighth-place finishes. He seems to carry the speed well […]

Christopher Bell May Show Some DFS Potential Sunday

Christopher Bell is bound to put it together one of these times on a speedway. He had a rather fast car last week in Phoenix but ended up ninth. The week before the Joe Gibbs Racing driver ended up seventh in Vegas. Oddly, he did not lead a lap in either race, and yet it […]

Kyle Larson Could Hang Around Top-Ten On Sunday

Kyle Larson was likely glad to get out of Daytona because the last three races have been a good bit better including the surprising win in Vegas. This is along with a fourth in Homestead and a seventh last week in Phoenix. The Hendrick Motorsports driver has shown a knack for hanging around the top-ten […]

Chase Elliott May Not Contend On Sunday In Atlanta

Though Chase Elliott had a better drive in Phoenix last Sunday, finishing 5th, he did not lead a single lap and only got close to the front every so often. In the final restart, Elliott was a non-factor. The Hendrick Motorsports driver did lead 26 laps last year in Atlanta but that was mostly aided […]

Joey Logano Should Be Good DFS Choice This Sunday

Joey Logano has the race car to lead some laps. He had everything set up at Phoenix and then had the rug pulled out from under him by Martin Truex Jr. Logano led 143 of the 312 laps before settling for second place. The Roger Penske Racing driver starts from the third position for the […]

Brad Keselowski Has A Chance To Win In Atlanta

Most tend to forget that Brad Keselowski has won two of the last four races in Atlanta. He starts from the fourth spot for the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 on Sunday. The key for Keselowski is to not repeat what happened last year where he got into some early trouble and could never truly […]

Martin Truex Jr. Expects To Ride Momentum From Phoenix To Atlanta

Martin Truex Jr. found a way to lead the right laps as he pulled away to win in Phoenix last Sunday. Can he do it again this Sunday in Atlanta? The Joe Gibbs Racing driver starts from the second position for the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. Also, Truex Jr. enjoys the second-best odds at […]

Kevin Harvick Lurking In Atlanta, Odds On Favorite To Win

The demise of Kevin Harvick was greatly exaggerated as he charged into the top-ten at Phoenix last Sunday. He had the car and aerodynamics were mostly solid. Going into Atlanta, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver starts seventh but could easily move up. Harvick comes in with the best odds at 6 to 1. By no means […]

Denny Hamlin Starts On Pole, Expects To Contend Again

Denny Hamlin nabbed the pole position for Sunday's Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has enjoyed four top-5 finishes this year yet has not won a race. This is his second pole of the early campaign. He leads the Cup series and has also led at least 30 laps in three […]

Kevin Harvick Holds His Own, Drives To Sixth Place Result

Kevin Harvick had some problems along with his pit crew the past few weeks. This week, he and the pit crew performed better as the Stewart-Haas Racing Ford finished sixth. Phoenix has been kind to Harvick but more importantly, this was his fourth top-ten result of the 2021 season. Did Harvick have the best car? […]

Chase Elliott Never Leads But Nabs Top-5 At Phoenix

Chase Elliott battled all race long but never could get to the front and lead unlike last year's finale at Phoenix. As a result, the Hendrick Motorsports Chevy driver had to just hang around. He finished in fifth after having to start from the rear of the field for pre-race violations. That's the thing. Elliott […]

Brad Keselowski Contended But Settles For Fourth At Phoenix

Brad Keselowski was close again but not close enough on Sunday. The Roger Penske Ford driver just could not get into the top-3 on Sunday after the final restart. He did manage to lead 19 laps earlier in the race. Keselowski finished third in Stage 1 and fourth in Stage 2. He consistently contended throughout […]

Denny Hamlin Finishes Third At Instacart 500 on Sunday

Denny Hamlin had a very fast race car, led 33 laps, and had a chance at a run on the final restart. However, his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota just did not quite have the power to stay with Martin Truex Jr. or Joey Logano. By the end of the race, Hamlin got within a second […]
