Bubba Wallace Has Some Work To Do At Darlington

Bubba Wallace has raced well at Darlington lately. His two previous trips saw him finish fifth and ninth respectively. There is one nagging concern for the 23XI Racing driver. That is negative place differential. Wallace has been in the red there four straight times. One consistent lately is that Wallace and his No. 23 car […]

Tyler Reddick Completes Podium In Qualifying For Toyota Saturday

Tyler Reddick will begin third from Darlington on Sunday evening. Now comes the hard part. Can Reddick stay near the front? The No. 45 from 23XI Racing ran well early in the Spring but slipped from ninth down to 22nd late. Last Fall, Reddick in the Richard Childress Racing Chevy ended up third (was 2nd […]

Ross Chastain Feels The Heat At Darlington

Ross Chastain has struggled for awhile this 2023 season. The win at Nashville only masked those problems a bit for the Trackhouse Racing driver. Since then, he has the one top-ten result at Michigan. Other than that, the car has mostly qualified in the 20's. Naturally, Chastain starts the Cook Out Southern 500 from the […]

Chris Buescher Hot Heading Into The Playoffs

Did Chris Buescher peak too soon? It will be asked often. The answer is no, of course. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver won three of his last five races to vault up to fourth in the playoff standings. Now, what can he do at Darlington? Buescher qualified well and will begin eighth on Sunday evening. The […]

William Byron A Mixed Bag At Darlington

William Byron can be great or average at Darlington. He starts 23rd for the Cook Out Southern 500 on Sunday evening. Byron's laps were not overly bad, but made a few technical mistakes causing him to be 0.391 seconds off Christopher Bell's pole-setting time on Saturday. Byron only led seven laps in May but won […]

Denny Hamlin Starts Second At Darlington On Sunday

Denny Hamlin felt a little heat yesterday for winning the Xfinity race. However, the heat he generated in qualifying for Darlington on Sunday was just as noticeable. The Joe Gibbs Racing car set the second quickest lap just behind Christopher Bell. Hamlin has two wins on the track "too tough to tame" since 2020. He […]

Kyle Busch Wants To Start Chase Off Right

Kyle Busch took it to the limit then exceeded it. The Richard Childress Racing driver looked primed for a top spot in qualifying. However, he smacked the wall pretty hard on Saturday afternoon. Changing a toe link prior to qualifying may be something to monitor. Usually, that results in starting from the rear. No matter […]

Martin Truex Jr. Starts From Near Back On Sunday

Martin Truex Jr. qualified 31st for Sunday's Cook Out Southern 500. It is not exactly the ideal way to start the playoff chase. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver will have his work cut out for him. Toyota cars were fast in qualifying going first, second, and third. Maybe Truex Jr. was too fast as he […]

Chase Elliott Settles For Owners Playoff Chase Instead

Chase Elliott needed to win at Daytona to get into the playoffs. He missed it by that much and settled for fourth. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver could not get by the RFK Racing drivers. He did get close a few times but Chris Buescher shut the door during lap 162. Elliott did manage to […]

Aric Almirola Comes Up Short In Playoff Bid

Aric Almirola tried a little of everything to steal a win on Saturday night from Daytona International Speedway. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver ended up third ahead of teammate Kevin Harvick. He led three laps but never could get the momentum to pass Buescher or Brad Keselowski over the final lap and a half. The No. […]

Brad Keselowski Helps Teammate Over Himself On Saturday

Brad Keselowski could have ended his winless streak but instead gave a helping hand to Chris Buescher. Saturday night at Daytona was far more interesting than usual. Keselowski still finished second in his best performance of the season. The RFK Racing driver led six laps after starting in 12th (ironically right behind Buescher). Keselowski will […]

Chris Buescher Rides A Good Pusher To Victory

Chris Buescher capped off a great run on Saturday night by winning the Coke Zero Sugar 400 in overtime. He only led two laps but those were the two that mattered. Behind a great push by teammate Brad Keselowski, the RFK Racing driver held off Aric Almirola and Chase Elliott. It was Buescher's third win […]

Our friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS […]

Kyle Busch Getting Ready For The Playoffs

Kyle Busch probably wants to forget his first Daytona with Richard Childress Racing. The Duels ended poorly with an accident and so did the race (ended 19th after leading six laps). Now, Busch is locked into a playoff position. He qualified 18th on Friday afternoon and has experience running well during the August races on […]

Chase Elliott Might Have To Eye The Other Chase

Chase Elliott is facing the growing reality that the chase for the Owners Standings may be his reality for 2023. However, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has a chance at Daytona. Elliott and his No. 9 car have never won on the 2.5-mile track yet they have finished second and eighth in two of the […]

Austin Cindric Does Run Well At Daytona

Austin Cindric has had a trying sophomore season in NASCAR. If one guy might find a way to sneak into the playoffs, it might be the Team Penske Ford. Cindric did win the Daytona 500 last year and even has run well in August (led 13 laps, finished third last year). Cindric and his No. […]

Ross Chastain Limping Into The Playoffs

Ross Chastain still did not have the speed some were expecting on Friday in qualifying. The Trackhouse Racing driver will start the Coke Zero Sugar 400 from the 25th spot on Saturday night. Chastain has that one win in Nashville but only three top-10 results since Kansas. It has not been only one thing for […]

William Byron Trying To Just Get Past Daytona

William Byron did not have the speed in his Hendrick Motorsports Chevy in qualifying on Friday and he knew it. Byron qualified 27th and seemed content to put a safer car out there. The No. 24 car won the 160-lap race in 2020 but has seen an accident end his day twice since. Furthermore, the […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Begins Near The Back At Daytona

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. starts the Coke Zero Sugar 400 from the 32nd position on Saturday night. He did start the Daytona 500 from 31st and held off Joey Logano for the win. However, this is August and he has locked up a spot in the playoffs. The past three summer races have been interesting, as […]

Joey Logano Could Be In Position At Daytona

Joey Logano has endured some pretty bad luck the past three summers at Daytona International Speedway. Add in the fact that the Team Penske car nearly won the Daytona 500 in February and that adds extra salt into the wound. However, the one consistent is the No. 22 Ford has been quick during the stages. […]

Alex Bowman Swinging On The Gallows Pole

Alex Bowman comes into Daytona like Chase Elliott. Both Hendrick Motorsports Racing drivers need a win. While Elliott has an out of sorts in the owners standings, Bowman and his No. 48 car have work to do there too. Also, considerable help would be needed. He did place fifth at the Daytona 500 in February […]

Chris Buescher Raring To Go For Daytona

Chris Buescher does have a playoff spot locked up in his RFK Racing Ford. Buescher finished 11th in qualifying right next to his teammate, Brad Keselowski (12th). The No. 17 Ford has developed into quite the driver this year. Besides winning two races, Buescher has as many points as Ross Chastain and only two fewer […]

Ryan Blaney Hard To Count Out At Daytona

Ryan Blaney starts eighth for Saturday night's race from Daytona. The Team Penske car was fairly quick during qualifying and got into the final round. He lost a little speed in the turns and was 0.21 seconds behind pole-sitter Chase Briscoe. Funny enough, overall times were almost similar to February at Daytona. Back then, Alex […]

Aric Almirola Begins Second At Daytona Saturday

Aric Almirola narrowly missed out on the pole position for Saturday's Coke Zero Sugar 400. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver settled for a spot outside of Row 1 from his teammate Chase Briscoe. Almirola has not had the best of seasons in his No. 10 Ford. He does not have a single top five result. Despite […]

Taylor Moore's Implosion Is Worrisome For Atlanta

Some believe Taylor Moore will shake off what happened at the BMW Championship last week. The American golfer shot an 80 on Saturday en route to a disastrous event. It was not the +18 that was troubling, it was the body language. Moore looked defeated and gassed. He has played 22 tournaments in 2023 alone […]

Tommy Fleetwood Has A Chance At The Tour Championship

Tommy Fleetwood has managed eight top-10 results this 2022-23 season. The English golfer has done everything but win. He has come close on several occasions to notching that first career win. Fleetwood likes tournaments of the highest caliber. He has finished four times in the top 10 over the past eight majors. Fleetwood even managed […]

Rickie Fowler Sliding Back In Form At Wrong Time

Rickie Fowler is not playing poorly by any means. However, the American golfer does not have quite the same flair as he did even at The Open Championship in July. Fowler did finish with a solid 69 on Sunday at the BMW Championship. That propelled him into the top 25 at least. Now, can Fowler […]

Corey Conners Could Be A Factor In Atlanta

Corey Conners has enjoyed another solid run in terms of results. The Canadian golfer followed up a sixth-place result with a tenth at the BMW Championship last week. Conners did not crack on either Sunday posting respectable numbers (65 and 69). He ranks 15th and 16th in terms of getting off the tee and approaching […]

Nick Taylor Could Struggle Again In Atlanta

Nick Taylor had a rough week but was comfortably in the top-15 in FedEx Cup points. Therefore, the Canadian golfer advanced to Atlanta with ease. Shooting all four rounds over par at the BMW Championship was a concern. Taylor's metrics were all in the red. He starts with one stroke under par for this week […]

Scottie Scheffler Can Win In Atlanta

Scottie Scheffler did everything right but shoot a 61 on Sunday at the BMW Championship. He finished in a tie for second behind Viktor Hovland. East Lake Golf Club is again the venue for this year's season ending tournament. The American golfer from New Jersey ended up tied for second in last year's event behind […]
