Austin Dillon carries a ton of danger but the Richard Childress Racing driver starts 33rd at Charlotte this weekend. Dillon had two consecutive top eight finishes before an accident last year on the intermediate track. The No. 3 Chevy showed especially well with some nice top eight stage results in three straight appearances. Now, the […]

Erik Jones Could Be Good Early At Charlotte
Erik Jones has showed some good times and speed in his last two trips to Charlotte. Last year, Jones was third after 200 laps. However, the Legacy Motor Club Chevy faded to 14th late in the race. Some will say it was a numbers game but the No. 43 car seemed to lose the zip […]

Daniel Suarez Has Upside At Coca-Cola 600
Daniel Suarez is truly a risk-reward DFS option when it comes to Charlotte and the Coca-Cola 600. Last year, the Trackhouse Racing driver led 36 laps and even won Stage 2 of the 400-lap race. Then, an accident ruined his night dropping him to 25th. If Suarez can find that late-run speed, he can easily […]

Aric Almirola Stuck In Middle Of The Pack For Charlotte
Aric Almirola will begin the Coca-Cola 600 from 23rd at Charlotte. Almirola and his Stewart-Haas Racing car have not finished inside the top ten over the past four races on the intermediate track. His best finish during that span is 15th. However, his worst result is 22nd. So, in a way, it makes sense Almirola […]

Chase Briscoe Tries To Turn Back Clock At Charlotte
Chase Briscoe had a great time at Charlotte last year. His Memorial Day weekend culminated in a fourth-place finish. Briscoe led a couple of laps despite starting 15th. This time, the Stewart-Haas Racing Ford begins the Coca-Cola 600 from the 20th position. Now, this season the No. 14 Ford has struggled for consistency. He had […]

Ty Gibbs Could Provide DFS Value At Charlotte
Ty Gibbs had one of the faster cars the past few weeks for Joe Gibbs Racing. Results may have not completely panned out but Gibbs is getting used to the No. 54 car. He finished a respectable 16th at Darlington while flirting with the top ten a good deal of the race. Gibbs looked comfortable […]

Joey Logano Tries To Bounce Back From Charlotte Mishap
An accident claimed Joey Logano and his Team Penske car last year. Logano's No. 22 Ford gained some serious momentum and even led nine laps. However, an accident wrecked his night as the Ford car wound up 20th. Logano has enjoyed some nice results including a win at Charlotte in 2015. However, the past couple […]

Martin Truex Jr. Wants To Turn Back Clock At Charlotte
There was a time when Martin Truex Jr. was Kyle Larson dominant at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The Coca-Cola 600 felt like a Truex Jr. playground where he racked up led laps like an adding machine counter. Last time out, Truex Jr. stayed around the top ten for awhile before settling down to 12th. The No. […]

Justin Haley Might Have Challenge At Charlotte
Justin Haley and his Kaulig Racing car have not fared well at Charlotte. He does start 16th this time around. Haley's first two appearances resulted in an average finish of 27.5. Haley could not even finish inside the top 20 or start there for that matter. The No. 31 Chevy has shown a few more […]

Ross Chastain Looking For A Win At Charlotte
Ross Chastain and his Trackhouse Racing car begin the Coca-Cola 600 from the 14th position. Chastain has not won since Talladega last year. It feels longer. He does lead the standings in points, has five top-five results, and six top tens. Even with five stage wins, Chastain still is winless in the win column. The […]

Harrison Burton On The Hot Seat For Results
Harrison Burton and his Wood Brothers Racing car need results. He starts 13th at Charlotte this weekend and the No. 21 Ford has one top ten in 13 races. That translates to being 30th in the points standings. Burton did finish 11th last year in Charlotte after starting 17th. He rode for awhile in the […]

Kyle Larson Fast And Furious At Charlotte
Kyle Larson draws the 12th position after metrics for the Coca-Cola 600. That may not be a bad thing for the No. 5 car. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing car may not lead quite as many laps. However, the 400-lap Charlotte race will give him ample opportunities. After all, Larson has led 48.4% of the laps […]

Chris Buescher Risky But Could Provide Reward
Chris Buescher finished eighth at Charlotte two years ago. Last year, Buescher was running close to the top ten when an accident wrecked his Coca-Cola 600 chances. Buescher and RFK Racing have been up and down when it comes to the 1.5-mile track. The No. 17 Ford begins in 11th and has never led a […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. May Be On Borrowed Time At Charlotte
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. enjoys Charlotte like few other tracks. His past four appearances for the JTG Daugherty Racing team have produced a top five and top ten result.

Ryan Blaney Still Trying To Find The Checkered Flag
Ryan Blaney gets some help for Charlotte as the Team Penske driver starts from the eighth position. The No. 12 Ford has that well documented winless streak and since those consecutive thirds in 2020 has not cracked the top 10. Last year, Blaney had some speed but wound up saddled back in 29th after starting […]

Kyle Busch In Interesting Position For Charlotte
Kyle Busch has one 29th place finish and three top five results at Charlotte since 2020. He starts the Coca-Cola 600 fifth and figures to move up. The RFK Racing driver has done everything but win post-COVID on this 1.5-mile track. How fast will the No. 8 Chevy be when the green flag drops? That's […]

Denny Hamlin Starts Fourth For Coca-Cola 600
Denny Hamlin and his Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota start at Charlotte from the fourth position this weekend. Hamlin did not have the fastest car last year until the final laps.

Brad Keselowski got a boost from the metrics and begins third at Charlotte for the Coca-Cola 600. Keselowski started 35th and never got going last year ending up 30th.

The rains came and kept on coming as William Byron was awarded the pole for the Coca-Cola 600. Byron's metrics were the best out of the 37 drivers expected to race tomorrow night.

Garrick Higgo May Have Challenge At Charles Schwab
Some were encouraged by Garrick Higgo and how he performed at the Byron Nelson a couple of weeks ago. The South African golfer nudged himself into the top-30 after a final-round 65. That was Higgo's first top-30 since a 29th at The Honda Classic back in February. Higgo is only 24 and apt to mistakes. […]

Vincent Norrman Showing Form As Charles Schwab Looms
Vincent Norrman is a young Swedish golfer getting a handle on the PGA Tour early. It is hard to believe Norrman is 25-years-old. His OWGR will not be 301 for long. At the Byron Nelson, the golfer notched his second top-ten result in his last three events. Also, he shot four rounds in the 60's […]

Denny McCarthy May Have Warm Putter In Texas
Denny McCarthy started to get things moving during the final round of the PGA Championship. His final round 68 made few wonder what might have been if not for that opening round 75. McCarthy ranks 12th in strokes gained from putting at 0.608. At Oak Hill, that number was mostly negative until Sunday. The Charles […]

Justin Rose Staying Consistent
Justin Rose not getting rattled has served the English golfer well. The PGA Championship was trying in the most changeable of conditions. Rose stayed right around even par for four consecutive rounds which kept him in the top ten. While he flirted with contention, it was another solid result where a few shots might have […]

Sam Burns Rested For Defense Of Charles Schwab
Sam Burns is primed to defend his Charles Schwab triumph from last year. The American golfer won in a playoff over Scottie Scheffler. However, this year has seen two consecutive tournaments where Burns failed to make the cut. Worse, Burns imploded at Oak Hill last week shooting 74-80 for a +14. With the way the […]

Tony FInau To Try And Rebound At Charles Schwab
So Tony Finau just never got going at Oak Hill. The American golfer saved his worst for Sunday with a 77 where nothing went right. It was one of those weeks. Again, there are times when the numbers do not align with the results. While Finau may not crack the top ten, it is safe […]

Sam Burns Still Up And Down Heading To PGA Championship
Sam Burns has quite a lot of talent. The American golfer won the WGC Match Play in March beating an impressive field. However, Burns had that 78 on Saturday at the Masters which dropped him out of contention. He did not play well at The Players Championship but survived. Too many tournaments see Burns squander […]
