Aaron Rai One To Watch At Mexico Open

The English golfer has looked better over the past two tournaments. Though he cannot drive the ball the furthest (just 292.5 yards), Aaron Rai has been effective everywhere else when it comes to the first three rounds of a tournament. Last week, Rai was this close to winning the Zurich Open until a 72 derailed […]


PrizePicks NASCAR DFS Prop Picks for Fantasy NASCAR - GEICO 500

Hello everyone once again!  We head to Talladega, Alabama for the Geico 500 this week and the tenth 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 props site where you can choose to […]


Chase Elliott At Least Has DFS Potential At Talladega

Chase Elliott qualified 28th on Saturday at Talladega just behind fellow Hendrick Motorsports teammate Alex Bowman. It was an odd result but not totally uncommon. Elliott is another one of those few drivers that has three top-ten finishes in his last six events at Talladega. The 2.66-mile track with the unique tri-oval is a favorite […]


Kevin Harvick Starts 24th On Sunday At Talladega

Kevin Harvick tends to perform well enough at Talladega. He does have three top-ten results over his last six races. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver tends to make far better decisions on the track. He survives most carnage yet has just one top-five finish over the past three seasons. That was fourth in the Spring event. […]


Ryan Blaney Starts Outside Row 11 on Sunday

Ryan Blaney figures to be in the heart of contention by late in Stage 1 or earlier on Sunday at Talladega. Blaney has shown the mettle to charge up the field before on the 2.66-mile course. He has three top-ten results and two wins in the last six appearances. Blaney was lightning fast even last […]


Ross Chastain Uncertain On Talladega Track

Ross Chastain starts closer to the middle of the pack on Sunday at Talladega. That may suit him as most of the top-ten figures to be out of contention by the final stage anyway. The TrackHouse Racing driver has had quite a few excellent results including that win at COTA. He has several top-five results. […]


Erik Jones Has Coin Flip Chance Of Good Result Sunday

Erik Jones is one of those drivers that loves the long tracks with the crazy banking. Talladega is one of the most notorious for that. The restrictor plate race usually produces some odder results. Jones starts 16th on Sunday and the Petty GMS Motorsports car figures to be closer to the front at some point. […]


Brad Keselowski Big Wild Card Heading Into Talladega

Brad Keselowski and his Ford car from RFK Racing has a little bit of an advantage for Sunday's race at Talladega. Keselowski has won in the previous six races and has another top-five finish as well. No one is suggesting history repeats itself. However, few would be surprised if Keselowski wormed his way closer to […]


Austin Dillon Could Be Sneaky Option At Talladega

Austin Dillon begins Sunday's Geico 500 from the 14th position. The Dillon Family has had a little good luck on this track. Ty has a top-five and another top-ten while Austin has two top-ten results. The Richard Childress Racing driver does carry good speed through the highest banking sectors. That Next-Gen car might help alleviate […]


Joey Logano Led The Ford Brigade On Saturday

Joey Logano will begin 13th on Sunday from Talladega. Logano has experienced a little of everything on the 2.66-mile track. From crashes to checkered flags, the No. 22 car has seen it all. Logano has a couple of top-five results sprinkled in with some crashes like last Spring where the Team Penske driver ended up […]


Kyle Busch Wants To Build Momentum Off Bristol Victory

Kyle Busch got a gift last week at Bristol. Chase Briscoe spun out himself and Tyler Reddick on the final lap as Busch was able to just beat Reddick to the line. The No. 18 car was not the greatest on Saturday but effective enough to start 12th. While few expect the Toyota to factor […]


Justin Haley On Some Radars At Talladega

Justin Haley begins Sunday's race at Talladega just outside the top ten. His 11th-place qualifying run was impressive. The Kaulig Racing driver does not have quite the same pedigree that Daniel Hemric has on the 2.66-mile track. However, the No. 31 Chevy has won at a super speedway before. In eight races, Haley has won […]


Tyler Reddick Again Carries Speed Heading Into Talladega

Tyler Reddick looked like he had speed and acceleration to burn during Saturday's qualifying at Talladega. Reddick will start the Sunday race from the 10th position. The No. 8 Chevy of Richard Childress Racing has been fast all year. Now, can Reddick find a way to keep that speed throughout this tough 2.66-mile course? That […]


Bubba Wallace Has Good Vibes At Talladega

Bubba Wallace and his No. 23 car again were in the spotlight on Saturday. His ninth-place qualifying run proved he had a little more in the tank to do better even. Wallace let off the throttle in a few places on the 2.66-mile track. It was as if the 23Xi Racing driver knew if something […]


William Byron Consistency Big Asset At Talladega

William Byron begins the Sunday race at Talladega from the eighth spot. The Spring race last year was Byron's best chance to win as he finished second to Brad Keselowski. Again, speed intervals seemed to show that the No. 24 car was one of the fastest in the final stages of the race. Last year, […]


Denny Hamlin In Good Position For Geico 500

Denny Hamlin and his Joe Gibbs Racing car start from seventh on Sunday at Talladega. The 2.66-mile track drives every driver crazy at some point. Hamlin is no exception but the No. 11 driver does have three top-five results and a win in his last six attempts on the course. He has even led 8.7% […]


Kurt Busch One To Watch At Talladega

One of the few Toyota cars that was able to maintain speed over entire races at Talladega was Kurt Busch. The elder Busch starts Sunday's Geico 500 from the sixth position. The No. 45 car has never won on the 2.66-mile track. However, Busch has contended a bunch of times during the Spring race since […]


Kyle Larson Begins Talladega From The Fifth Spot

Kyle Larson topped Hendrick Motorsports Racing in qualifying on Saturday. He will begin Sunday's race from the fifth position. The No. 5 car had been fast in testing and even in qualifying, Larson had some excellent sectors that indicated Larson could be faster than fifth. Last year, the No. 5 car was the victim of […]


Daniel Suarez Begins Sunday From Outside Row 2

Daniel Suarez nailed one of the faster laps on Saturday and finished fourth in qualifying for Talladega on Sunday. The TrackHouse Racing driver and his No. 99 Chevy pulled in an excellent time. Just because a car is fast early at Talladega does not mean the will be fast late. Does TrackHouse with Ross Chastain […]


Daniel Hemric Surprises In Qualifying On Saturday

Daniel Hemric will start the Geico 500 from the third position on Sunday afternoon. The Kaulig Racing driver was the best of the five Chevy drivers in the top ten. The No. 16 car has not raced at the top level here since 2019. That Spring race saw Hemric start and finish in fifth. He […]


Martin Truex Jr. Starts Outside Row 1 Sunday At Talladega

Martin Truex Jr. wound up in P2 or outside Row 1 after Saturday's round of qualifying. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver clocked a lap of just a whisker over 53 seconds. That was a mere 0.081 seconds off from the time of Christopher Bell. As a result, Truex Jr. will start second on Sunday afternoon. […]


Christopher Bell Snags Pole At Talladega

Christopher Bell got around the 2.66-mile track in a shade under 53 seconds on Saturday. That was good enough to get the Joe Gibbs Racing driver on the pole for Sunday afternoon's race. Bell and his No. 20 car could be a factor on Sunday. Contention is a different story altogether. No Joe Gibbs driver […]


NASCAR DFS Prop Picks for 4/17- PrizePicks

Hello everyone and Happy Easter!  We take a jaunt over to Bristol, Tennessee for the Food City Dirt Race this week and the ninth 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. Please note the start time of […]


Martin Truex Jr. Not Recommended For Bristol

Martin Truex Jr. has been slow all weekend long with his No. 19 Joe Gibbs Racing car. This is not just a one-time occurrence. This has been across the board spanning from initial practice sessions right up to Saturday's 15-lap qualifying run. He started in the back of that run and ended there. Truex Jr. […]


Denny Hamlin And The Slow Toyota At Bristol

What happened between practice and qualifying for Denny Hamlin? This is where it gets odd for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver because half the team was pretty quick (Kyle Busch and Christopher Bell) and half was much slower (him and Martin Truex Jr.). The second practice session was solid for the No. 11 car and […]


Ross Chastain Spun Out To Back Of The Pack Saturday

Both Ross Chastain and even Daniel Suarez have had successful Trackhouse Racing cars at Bristol. Suarez had the result last year with a second-place finish but it seems that Chastain has the better performing car this season. Chastain did win at Austin and had a nice run of top-five finishes (four in all). The No. […]


Ryan Blaney Slow In Qualifying Heat Saturday

Ryan Blaney had quite a few issues with his Team Penske car on Saturday. He could not generate speed and then he lost the grip. Ultimately, he spun out during his run as well. The result of all that mess is qualifying 24th for Sunday's Food City Dirt Race. Is that a bad thing? Blaney […]


William Byron Starts From Middle At Bristol

William Byron begins his Bristol dirt race from the 19th spot on Sunday night. For what it is worth, Byron managed a sixth-place result last year in spite of not leading a single lap. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing car did not even truly contended but the No. 24 Chevy survived. This lends some credence to […]


Can Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Do It Again At Bristol?

The question on many minds is whether Ricky Stenhouse Jr. can worm his way up to the front on Sunday at Bristol. Last year, Stenhouse Jr. came from just inside the top-15 to nearly win the race over Joey Logano. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver has shown speed and did last year in Tennessee especially. […]


Erik Jones Tries To Build On Last Year's Bristol Result

Erik Jones survived last year's war of attrition to finish ninth at Bristol last season. This year, he starts 14th on Easter Sunday. There are differences with the Sunday night race having a different look weather wise, etc. Cool temperatures and dry weather will make the track a bit more dusty if the water trucks […]
