Austin Cindric Nearly Takes Pole At Las Vegas

Austin Cindric got the car going at the right time on Saturday and came up just short of taking the pole at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Cindric and his Team Penske car settled for third, a mere 0.042 seconds off of Joey Logano's pole position lap. For a time, Cindric looked like he might […]


Harrison Burton Way Off Pace At Las Vegas

Harrison Burton has not qualified well at Las Vegas. The last couple races were near the final position. On Saturday, he turned in a lap more than 1.4 seconds off the pole of Joey Logano. The Wood Brothers Racing driver is on the hot seat and starting 36th is not ideal (33rd and 35th last […]


Chris Buescher Starts Ninth At Las Vegas

Chris Buescher and the RFK Racing team got in a few solid runs on Saturday in the heavy winds. Buescher and his No. 17 Ford will start ninth on Sunday after a solid 29.52 second lap in the final round of qualifying. Buescher was right around the top ten or so cars in practice and […]


Josh Barry Still Struggling In Ford Car

Josh Barry will start the Pennzoil 400 from Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 26th on Sunday. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver did not fare well at Atlanta and Daytona (29th and 25th respectively). Now, he has not been incident free in either race but Berry definitely has a learning curve for the Ford car. Berry's best […]


Ben Griffin Loves The Bermuda Grass

Ben Griffin is one of those players that enjoys Bermuda grass. The American golfer has a whopping 19.94 strokes gained over his past 50 rounds on the lush surface. No other golfer is within three strokes gained in this metric. Griffin tied for ninth at The American Express. He will be ready after a final-round […]


Thomas Detry Trying To Shake Off Rough Event In Mexico

Thomas Detry wants to desperately forget the Mexico Open. The Belgian golfer watched shots go all over the place en route to an opening 78 at Vidanta. His second round was much better but a 69 was not enough to make the cut. That marked the second time Detry missed the cut in 2024. His […]


Akshay Bhatia Up And Down In 2024

Akshay Bhatia may be consistently inconsistent. The American golfer has alternated being close to contention and missing cuts the last four tournaments. He missed the cut at the WM Phoenix Open after an opening round 75. While Bhatia played well in Hawaii, several lost opportunities on the greens kept him from Top 10 results (T-14 […]


Billy Horschel Might Fare Better After Rest

Billy Horschel taking a few weeks off was not a bad thing. The American golfer has missed two cuts so far in four 2024 appearances. Coupled with a top 20 at The Sony Open, it has not been the best of starts. His numbers have been solid and ranks fifth in strokes gained for putting […]


Kaz Grala Rises To 14th By End Of Atlanta Race

Kaz Grala did the one thing drivers need to do at Atlanta and that was survive. Grala's car got banged up but he managed to stay on the lead lap. The Rick Ware Racing driver took his No. 15 Ford from 33rd up to 14th on Sunday night. As the cautions mounted, Grala was able […]


Austin Cindric Enjoys Top 5 Result At Atlanta

Austin Cindric performed well but the Team Penske driver could not get into the three-wide melee on the final lap. Cindric and his Ford did wind up passing Bubba Wallace for fourth place, however. The No. 2 car led 32 laps and at times had one of the fastest cars on the 1.5-mile Atlanta Motor […]


Tyler Reddick Starts In The Middle Of The Pack At Atlanta

Tyler Reddick does not enjoy "superspeedway" or similar courses. The 23XI Racing driver begins Sunday 19th at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Reddick's best result was a fifth however last March in the No. 45 Toyota car. Reddick did not lead a lap in that race but came from 16th into the top five by the end […]


Noah Gragson Tries To Continue Momentum At Atlanta

Noah Gragson so far has thrived in the Stewart-Haas Racing team. Gragson finished ninth at Daytona last week and starts 15th at Atlanta. The driver already has one more top ten result than in 2023. Gragson's best result since the resurfacing was 12th at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He even led five laps on Sunday which […]


Austin Dillon Poised To Rebound From Daytona

Austin Dillon made it into the final qualifying group and ended up tenth to start the Ambetter Health 400. The Richard Childress Racing driver in the No. 3 car endured an ugly 2023 with an average finish of 21.8. Even his average starts were 20th. That was his worst average qualifying since 2012. Last week […]


Harrison Burton Begins Sunday 16th From Atlanta

Harrison Burton struggled mightily in 2023. The Wood Brothers Racing driver had two top ten results in 36 races. The No. 21 Ford qualified 16th for Sunday's race at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. Burton does have a Top 10 result on the repaved 1.5-mile track. However, last year he finished 34th and 28th. The first […]


Chase Briscoe Starts Ninth At Atlanta On Sunday

Chase Briscoe qualified eighth last year at Atlanta the first time around. This year, he starts ninth on Sunday for the Ambetter 400 Health race. Briscoe has had a tough time at Atlanta Motor Speedway since 2021. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver finished no better than 15th since the resurfacing of the track. It seems his […]


Denny Hamlin Has One Of Those Days At Daytona

Denny Hamlin started eighth, ran well at times, and even led 10 laps at the Daytona 500 on Monday. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver ultimately finished 19th on Monday night. That was ahead of Jimmie Johnson and Tyler Reddick. Hamlin and his No. 11 car never could really stay up front long. Drafting seemed to […]


Chase Elliott Ends Up 14th At Daytona

Chase Elliott ran quite well at Daytona. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver was in the Top 5 or 10 most of the race on Monday. He even led 13 laps and won Stage 1. It was the end where the No. 9 car lost the line and positions. Elliott did end up with his third-best […]


Sam Stevens Will Need Better Sunday In Mexico

Sam Stevens has made each cut in 2024. In those four tournaments, however, the American golfer has shot 73 or worse three times. His only time under par was at the Waste Management Phoenix Open (70). Stevens has not exactly been at the top page of the leaderboard but has not performed badly, either. He […]


Greyson Sigg A Long Shot To Contend In Mexico

Greyson Sigg has started up and down like a lot of golfers early in 2024. The American has made two cuts and missed two cuts so far. This includes a Top 25 at The American Express. More recently, he missed cuts at the Farmers Insurance Open and the WM Phoenix Open. Opening round 73's made […]


J.J. Spaun May Struggle At Mexico Open

J.J. Spaun has struggled out of the gate in 2024. The American golfer has missed the cut in four out of five tournaments. The 2022 Valero Open winner performed well in 2023 as he made the cut in 25 of 32 tournaments. Spaun finished in the Top 25 a total of 13 times and the […]


Alexander Bjork A Coin Flip To Thrive At Mexico Open

Alexander Bjork has entered 16 tournaments on the PGA Tour. The Swedish golfer has made the cut eight times. Yes, that is 50%. Bjork does have 1 Top 25 result in 2024 at The American Express. He narrowly missed out on the Top 5 even (Tied for 11th). Anyway, so far his putting has been […]


Daniel Suarez Tries Again At Daytona

Daniel Suarez has had some interesting mishaps at Daytona. The Trackhouse Racing driver did stay mostly upright in 2023 thought. That results in a Top 10 (7th). However, previous years have not been so fortunate. Accidents have marred previous efforts at the Daytona 500 for the driver of the No. 99 Chevy. Suarez did lead […]


Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Likes The Front At Daytona

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. likes the front at Daytona and the danger. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver will start 35th this year after an accident and DVP ended his Duel race on Thursday night. He did lead 15 laps before that early end to his nice. The driver of the No. 47 Chevy began 31st last […]


Zane Smith Can Truck It At Daytona 500

Zane Smith can draw on his experiences with the NASCAR Trucks series. The Spire Motorsports driver won at Daytona driving the trucks twice in a row. His No. 71 car will start 14th for the Daytona 500. Smith survived the wrecks well during the second Bluegreen Vacations Duel. A 2.5-mile superspeedway like Daytona sometimes is […]


John Hunter Nemechek Will Begin Daytona 500 In Tenth

John Hunter Nemechek gets to ride for the Legacy Motor Club in the Daytona 500. The team switched to Toyota and the thought process is Nemechek could be one to watch. He will start tenth in the Daytona 500. The young driver did finish 11th in a Ford in 2020. Nemechek nearly won in the […]


Carson Hocevar Starts Ninth For Daytona 500

Carson Hocevar drove well on Thursday night and will start ninth for the Daytona 500. The Spire Motorsports driver drafted good enough and found himself in third after the first Bluegreen Vacations Duel. Hocevar has never raced at Daytona at the highest level. However, he did finish 12th there in the Trucks series. It will […]


Riley Herbst Likes Tracks Such As Daytona

Riley Herbst finds himself in a familiar position after the Duel races. The Rick Ware Racing driver qualified 38th last year and will be 36th this year. At least, he is in the Daytona 500. Last season, Herbst stayed out of trouble mostly and ended up on the lead lap. That netted him a result […]


Emiliano Grillo Keeps Playing Well In 2024

Emiliano Grillo has not broken into the win column this year, but he has four top-25 results in five tournaments. That includes four in a row since the 2024 opener in Hawaii. The golfer from Argentina shot a sizzling 63 at the Waste Management Phoenix Open on Sunday. That vaulted him almost into the top […]


Harris English Tries To Keep Things Rolling In Los Angeles

After a few tough tournaments, Harris English looks to keep the momentum going at Riviera Country Club this week. English finished tied for 17th at the WM Phoenix Open. He held on for dear life on Sunday to shoot a 71. It easily could have been a round closer to 75. The American golfer enjoyed […]


Beau Hossler Aims For Better Genesis Invitational Result

Beau Hossler has not performed well in Los Angeles. He missed the cut last year and blew up the year before with a final round 75. One of the main problems the American golfer had in 2023 was his approaches to the green. He lost 0,263 strokes which ranked 158th on the PGA Tour. This […]
