Denny Hamlin Hit Or Miss At Atlanta

Denny Hamlin seems to contend more often than not at Atlanta. The problem is external and internal issues. He does have two top-five results and an average finish of 12.4. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver was running second after Stage 1 in March before an accident derailed his day. Last summer, Hamlin's car ran into […]


Christopher Bell Sneaky Option On Sunday

Christopher Bell and his Joe Gibbs Racing car may not be the best idea for Sunday's race on the surface. However, Bell led 16 laps in March and was tenth after Stage 1 before issues plagued his race car. The summer race in 2021 showed that Bell was quite fast on the track as he […]


Chase Briscoe Could Hold Position At Atlanta

Chase Briscoe is another driver in a strange sort of position for the Sunday race? Does the lack of practice and qualifying hurt or help the Ford driver? That remains to be seen for the Stewart-Haas racer. He starts 14th on Sunday and does have a couple of top-20's in three appearances. Briscoe even led […]


William Byron May Contend At Atlanta

William Byron has endured a mostly rough season in his Hendricks Motorsports car. On the other hand, Byron has won on this track (March of this year). Even during the summer race, Byron was well into the top ten before problems struck. With the possible weather conditions that might cool the track a little, this […]


Michael McDowell May Fall Back On Sunday

Michael McDowell is normally good on super speedway tracks but this 1.54-mile Atlanta track is a little more of a hybrid. McDowell has not performed well here. The wildcard is the 60-70% chance of thunderstorms On Sunday. Now, McDowell starts 12th in his Front Row Motorsports Ford. The No. 34 car has an average finish […]


Chris Buscher Starts 11th For Quaker State 400

Chris Buescher, due to NASCAR metrics, will start in 11th for Sunday afternoon's Quaker State 400. Thunderstorms sacked qualifying and practice yesterday and could be an issue with the race. The No. 17 Ford has three top-ten results on the track in his last five appearances. Now, this summer version of the race is a […]


Cameron Young A Bit Unknown Heading Into Scottish Open

Cameron Young was on a roll where he nearly won a tournament three times in a row. A third, second, and third was quite a run including the PGA Championship. At The Memorial, Young looked poised to make it 4-for-4 then disaster struck that weekend culminating in a final-round 84 that he has not recovered […]


Mito Pereira A Good Bet To Bounce Back This Week

Mito Pereira has missed the cut in his last two tournaments. The Chilean did mount a furious rally at the Travelers before coming up just short of making the cut. The back to back bogeys did not help and that plagued him at the US Open as well. Pereira can hit greens well (ranks 11th) […]


Sam Burns Has That "Favorites Look" For Scottish Open

Sam Burns is ranked ninth in the world for a reason. The American golfer did struggle at the Travelers but before that, he has played rather well since March. Consider that he won the Valspar and the Charles Schwab tournaments. He nearly won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans as well. When his form is […]


Corey Connors Expects To Contend At Scottish Open

It seems like lately, Corey Connors is in contention everywhere that is not a major. Aside from the mentioned US Open and PGA Championship, the Canadian has finished in the top-21 in those five other tournaments. That includes two tied for sixths as well. He nearly came back to win the Canadian Open with a […]


Aaron Rai Could Be Formidable At Scottish Open

Aaron Rai had an excellent first three rounds at the Traveler's last week until three bogeys on the front nine did him in. That being said, Rai was able to keep the ball in play and putt a bit above his -0.057 strokes gained from putting. His accuracy helps him gain about a half stroke […]


NASCAR DFS Prop Picks for Kwik Trip 250 - PrizePicks

Hello everyone once again!  We continue the Fourth of July weekend as the Kwik Trip 250 beckons from Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. This is the 18th 2022 edition of NASCAR DFS on PrizePicks. Our friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS […]


Can Kevin Harvick Bounce Back Sunday At Road America?

Kevin Harvick, like William Byron, wound up a good ways further down the qualifying list than expected on Saturday. Byron begins Sunday 29th but Harvick starts 28th. The No. 4 Ford was looking to start a bit higher as the Stewart-Haas Racing driver does not have a win yet in 2022. He has four top-five […]


A.J. Allmendinger Road Tested For Road America

A.J. Allmendinger comes in just outside the top-20 in his Kaulig Racing car. The No. 16 Chevy did seem to lose nearly a second in the middle turns of the Road America course. That was the difference on Saturday in qualifying. Can Kaulig and Allmendinger find that speed and adjust to those turns in particular […]


Ryan Blaney Can He Finally Win At Road America

Ryan Blaney and Team Penske had to expect a better qualifying run on Saturday but Blaney finished nearly a second behind Chase Elliott. That placed him just inside the top-20 but left the Ford with quite a hill to climb. Blaney has done everything but wins this year with six top-five results, nine top-tens, and […]


Daniel Suarez Could Move Up At Road America

Daniel Suarez has one of the two road wins for TrackHouse Racing this year. That came at Sonoma. Now, the 4.048-mile course could be an aid for a driver like Suarez. His No. 99 Chevy could get faster as the race goes on. Some sectors saw Suarez as well as Chastain gain tenths of a […]


Christopher Bell Can Overcome Shortcomings Of Toyota Car

If one of these Toyota drivers can overcome the limits of the race car, it may just be Christopher Bell. Bell finished second last year at Road America. Though Bell qualifies just 16th, that means little come race day. The No. 20 car just needs to find a little more speed for Bell to use […]


Martin Truex Jr. Begins 15th On Sunday At Road America

Martin Truex Jr. is another driver who laments the lack of speed and especially acceleration on road courses this season with the Next-Gen car. Toyota's, especially Truex Jr.'s seemed to be losing a quarter to a third of a second in sectors they did not last year. The No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing car will […]


Denny Hamlin Could Fall Off At Road America

Denny Hamlin was another one of those drivers who worried about the lack of late practice speed even on Saturday. He qualified 14th for the Road America race on Sunday. However, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver dropped tenths of a second in crucial sectors including the late turns at the end of the 4.048-mile course. […]


Kyle Busch Leads The Toyota Brigade To Road America

Kyle Busch wound up being the highest qualified Toyota in 13th for the race in Wisconsin on Sunday. It seems hard to believe but what is crazier is how clustered the four main Toyotas were. Busch was only 0.125 seconds ahead of Christopher Bell, who qualified 16th. Practice speed became a bit of an issue […]


Ross Chastain Ready To Drop Melon At Road America

Ross Chastain and the No. 1 Chevy looked pretty strong early in qualifying and in practice. In the end, the TrackHouse Racing driver has already won this year on the road at COTA. Chastain wound up around a half season behind pole-sitter Chase Elliott. In some practice sectors, the Texan was a hair faster than […]


Brad Keselowski Trying To Make Charge At Road America

It has been a rough season for Brad Keselowski. However, he does start 11th on Sunday and did finish 13th on the 4.048-mile road course last year. The RFK Racing part-owner needs a win likely to make the chase. That may not happen this week but a good result is possible. Keselowski displayed good speed […]


Aric Almirola Another Long-Shot Driver For Nashville

Aric Almirola begins Sunday evening from the 11th position for the Ally 400. The No. 10 Ford led one lap at Nashville last year but more importantly finished fourth on the track last season. Almirola gained speed and track position after Stage 2 last year. He went from eighth into the top-five and nearly top-three […]


Alex Bowman Worth A Look At Nashville

The Ally 400 could be a track Alex Bowman fares well at when it comes to the Sunday race. Bowman starts 12th and has looked good on similar tracks this year. That includes a fifth-place finish at Dover, a ninth-place showing at Kansas and a plus-12 place differential at Gateway. Again, if you are looking […]


William Byron A Bit Troubling For Nashville

One cannot compare Nashville to just one track, and William Byron knows that better than anyone. This year on tracks somewhat similar, Byron has not fared too well. His 22nd-place finish at Dover and 19th-place finish at Gateway were worrisome. Even his 16th-place finish at Kansas was rough. This just clouds the early run Byron […]


A.J. Allmendinger Not Recommended For Nashville

A.J. Allmendinger qualified 14th at Nashville for the Ally 400 on Sunday evening. That was a bit of a surprise for the Kaulig Racing driver who usually has issues on hybrid tracks. Allmendinger watched his brakes fail at Dover but was not running well. Despite that, he managed a tenth at Gateway which was a […]


Chris Buescher A Long Shot To Finish Well At Nashville

Chris Buescher is another driver with high aspirations at Nashville for the Ally 400. He starts in the top-15 after a runner-up finish at Sonoma. Also, the RFK Racing driver had a top-ten result at Dover (eighth) and even third on the dirt at Bristol. The Dover result is a bit more significant here. He […]


Tyler Reddick May Have Some Issues At Nashville

Tyler Reddick starts 16th on Sunday for the Ally 400. The No. 8 Chevy has had some problems lately. It seems ever since Bristol (dirt), the driver has not quite enjoyed the same consistency or results for that matter. Despite mostly good qualifying numbers, Reddick has finished outside the top-30 three times with two DNF's […]


Michael McDowell Trying To Continue The Momentum

Michael McDowell finished in third at Sonoma before the NASCAR break. The Front Row Motorsports driver does have five top-ten results in his last nine races. Even at Gateway, McDowell led a total of 34 laps before problems set him knocking the driver back to 18th. He ironically begins 18th this week from Nashville as […]


Does Kurt Busch's Up-And-Down Run Continue At Nashville?

Kurt Busch has had one wild ride this season, but one thing has been consistent over the last couple of the months: his inconsistency. The elder Busch has not finished in the top 15 twice in a row since late March. Part of that issue has been course construction, but part of that has also […]
