Joey Logano Expected To Contend At Homestead

Joey Logano starts second on Sunday on the 1.5-mile track and could challenge Denny Hamlin for the win. Logano has won once before in 12 starts. Aside from last year's troubles where he finished two laps short, Logano finished in the top-six on the track five straight times. The Team Penske driver often stays out […]

Brad Keselowski Is A Decent Play At Homestead

Brad Keselowski starts in the top-ten (7th) again at Homestead on Sunday afternoon. While he is not expected to lead any or many laps, there is a high chance the Team Penske driver finishes in the top-ten. He has done so in six of his 13 races on the 1.5-mile speedway. That has been helped […]

Denny Hamlin Starts On Pole And Odds On Favorite Sunday

Denny Hamlin is on the pole Sunday afternoon at Homestead and recent numbers suggest Hamlin is the favorite to win the Dixie Vodka 400 on Sunday. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has three wins in 16 races at the 1.5-mile track. That includes five top-five finishes and 11 top-ten results. Hamlin was about a 5 […]

Austin Dillon Offers Good DFS Upside On Sunday

Austin Dillon only starts 22nd on Sunday at Homestead but recent results there suggest a favorable trend. The Richard Childress Racing driver has finished 8th and 7th in his last two races on the 1.5-mile track. While he has not led any laps on this track, Dillon has a place differential of +14 and +9 […]

Matt DiBenedetto Is Not A Play At Homestead

Matt DiBenedetto will start 37th at Homestead on Sunday and little suggests he will move up in a big way. The Wood Brothers Racing driver has only finished in the top-ten in ten of the 104 races at the 1-2 mile speedway level. At Homestead, in six starts, DiBenedetto has finished outside the top-10 every […]

Ross Chastain Not Expected To Be Factor At Homestead

Ross Chastain and speedways have not mixed as far as significant results. On average, the Chip Ganassi Racing driver has started outside the top-30 at Homestead. In two starts there, Chastain has finished 33rd and 35th respectively. Out of the 40 starts on 1-2 mile speedways, Chastain did not have one single top-10 result. Place […]

Alex Bowman Not Recommended For Homestead

Alex Bowman has had his issues with the Homestead track. He tends not to move up in these races or stay near the front of the race. In a half dozen races, the Hendrick Motorsports driver cracked the top-ten just once. Bowman's place differential was -0.8 places per race at Homestead. That differential on 1-2 […]

Christopher Bell expects to contend at Homestead

Christopher Bell starts in the third position on Sunday. His only race here showed the ability to move up quickly. At Homestead last year, Bell was able to move up from 36th all the way up to 8th. When it comes to 1-2 mile speedway races, Bell has finished in the top-ten in more than […]

Tyler Reddick Not Expected To Do Much At Daytona

The Richard Childress-owned car driven by Tyler Reddick did not move up much last week, and the expectation remains the same this week at Daytona. Last year, he started and finished 18th on the Daytona road course. In two road races, Reddick did finish but made little impact. Value just seems to be elsewhere, as […]

NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: O'Reilly Auto Parts 253 - Monkey Knife Fight

Sunday features the O'Reilly Auto Parts 253 from Daytona. Chase Elliott, Michael McDowell, Austin Dillon, Denny Hamlin, and Kevin Harvick 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 their […]

Bubba Wallace Not Recommended At Daytona

Bubba Wallace starts 10th on Sunday at Daytona, but road courses have not been all that kind to him. He has eight appearances at these tracks and has not finished in the top 10. Furthermore, his place differential is just plus-1.7 per race. It is not significant and Wallace could slide back through the field […]

Michael McDowell Has A Little DFS Upside This Week

Michael McDowell benefits from the starting metrics on Sunday while starting second at Daytona. Winning the Daytona 500 played a huge part. However, there is one notable nugget to think about. McDowell started 30th in his one road race at Daytona. He ended up in 10th place. While the driver showed mostly lackluster results at […]

Kyle Larson Has Some DFS Value At Daytona

Kyle Larson starts again in the top 10 (eighth) as the Daytona road course looms. His average qualifying position on road courses is fifth. Though he has not raced on this course in particular, Larson does have 14 road races under his belt. He has finished in the top 10 four times, with one top-five […]

Cole Custer Not Expected To Contend At Daytona

Cole Custer will start 13th in the O'Reilly Auto Parts 253 at Daytona on Sunday, but he has just two road races under his belt. He finished ninth at Charlotte after starting 28th. However, at Daytona last year, Custer did not show much on the road course. He ended up 22nd after starting 26th. There […]

Ross Chastain Could Stay On Lead Lap But Isn't A Top DFS Play

Ross Chastain starts ninth on Sunday at the Daytona road course but has never raced there. That lack of experience is likely to impact Chastain as much as the tweaked chicane. In five road starts, Chastain has finished outside of the top 10 in every single race. Also, the lack of qualifying hurts the driver […]

Chris Buescher Difficult To Recommend This Week At Daytona

Unlike last week, Chris Buescher faces a tall order. In 13 road starts, Buescher has just one top-five finish. He starts 30th this week, and his car does not seem to have the speed to improve much position-wise. His place differential overall was at plus-16 at the Daytona road course last year. This year's race […]

Christopher Bell Expected To Stay Around Middle Of Pack

Road-course inexperience is likely to keep Christopher Bell mostly near the middle of the pack on Sunday at Daytona. He finished 21st last year here, and the new chicane has caused him and other drivers a few issues. That run at Daytona was the 65-lap road race. Stepping up to the main event will not […]

Ryan Blaney comes in from the 14th position and contending is likely

There is a bit of all or nothing with Blaney and when he is on, he is on. What does that mean? Blaney has wound up second in the Daytona 500 twice (2017 and 2020). There have been several crashes and breakdowns but when the driver is able to negotiate the field, he winds up […]

Daniel Suarez will start 15th but finishing the race is questionable.

Suarez parlayed a decent run in the duels and a solid qualifying time into the 15th starting position at this year's Daytona 500. On the other hand, Suarez has raced seven times at the 2.5-mile track and six times the man from Monterrey has crashed. The only finish was the 2017 Coke Cola 400. Suarez […]

Matt DiBenedetto begins his Daytona 500 in 23rd, will not contend

DiBenedetto has one top-ten finish in the Daytona 500 in 2017 where he finished in ninth. Other than that, the Menards driver has not finished every lap and has crashed out a couple of times as well. In 2019, he did lead nearly 50 laps but he started ninth. Now this year, he is starting […]

Chris Buescher hangs around in top-20 yet will improve track position

Buescher showed the ability to drive Daytona after a few crashes early on in his experiences at the racetrack. Even when he qualifies outside the top-15, there was a noticeable change last season. Buescher was able to negotiate traffic, weather adversity, and thrive. The results were noticeable. He finished third in 2020 and the thought […]

Christopher Bell starts fifth and will be a good option on raceday.

Bell was the victim of some bad luck last year as he was able to stay on the last lap when a crash derailed him with four laps to go. The second time at Daytona saw him nearly nab a top-ten finish. He is not even 30 yet but Bell races with the experience of […]

Cole Custer manages to stay in top-30 but likely not to complete race

Custer actually qualified solidly -- both times last year in the top-20 (12th and 16th). Unfortunately, he rear-ended and crashed out in those appearances. The young racer's inexperience at Daytona has shown and shown often. Later in the races, he had problems maintaining track position and that lack of awareness may have contributed to him […]

Chase Briscoe struggled in qualifying and the duels, likely to struggle in race.

This is Briscoe's first attempt at the Daytona 500. He fared well enough last year and has a couple of top-five finishes. However, this is the big show. His first forays at the duels showed his inexperience and inability to draft with the better drivers on the 2.5-mile track. Briscoe almost looked happy to be […]
