Erik Jones A Staple Of Sorts At Darlington

Erik Jones has a history at Darlington and it is mostly a good one. Though he qualified 11th on Saturday, he probably had one of the ten fastest cars, period. Jones did win the Fall race at Darlington in 2019 while leading 79 laps. He also had two top-five results (5th and 4th in 2020). […]

Tyler Reddick At It Again With Top Ten Start At Darlington

Tyler Reddick and his Richard Childress Racing car may not be the steadiest car out there. However, Reddick is more than capable of outperforming the limitations of his No. 8 Chevy. That is the thing. The driver has done it all year. Look at how Reddick nearly won at Bristol Dirt, etc. He does have […]

William Byron Begins Ninth On Sunday At Darlington

William Byron is one of those Hendrick Motorsports Racing drivers that has not had the best of luck at Darlington. He has come close in four of the last five races where Byron was in the top-five at a crucial point before something bad happened. The car has top-ten speed and maybe better. It becomes […]

Ross Chastain Looks Good Again At Darlington

Ross Chastain has helped put TrackHouse Racing more than just on the map. Daniel Suarez and Chastain have had some lightning fast race cars this season. Chastain leads all drivers with seven top-five finishes in 11 races. Furthermore, the No. 1 Chevy has two wins obviously but he qualified eighth and again had good testing […]

Ryan Blaney Tries To Erase Issues At Darlington

Ryan Blaney and the Darlington track have not gotten along. There have been speed drops and mechanical issues. Blaney did manage to qualify seventh for Sunday's race, however. Blaney did not have a jump that some drivers had between his five and ten-lap interval. It was strange and could just be an outlier. However, what […]

Kurt Busch Starts Sixth At Darlington On Sunday

Kurt Busch found some late speed on his qualifying lap to secure the sixth position in qualifying for Sunday afternoon's race. The 23XI Racing driver finished just behind his younger brother, Kyle. Both Busch's have four top-ten results in their last six appearances at Darlington. However, the elder Busch has just one top-five finish. The […]

Kyle Busch On Baby Watch As Darlington Beckons

Kyle Busch is on baby watch as everyone knows. The No. 18 car is one of the more clutch drivers here with three top-five results in his last six races at Darlington. Though the younger Busch has not won here recently, he did qualify fifth on Saturday. That puts him in an excellent position to […]

Martin Truex Jr. Normally A Favorite At Darlington

Martin Truex Jr. is accustomed to being a favorite at Darlington. This week, Kyle Larson gets the numbers for consistency but typically, Truex Jr. has been right there as well. The No. 19 car has won one race and could have won a couple others over the past three seasons at Darlington. His speed interval […]

Christopher Bell Leads The Toyotas In Qualifying For Sunday

Christopher Bell and Joe Gibbs Racing ran some fast qualifying laps on Saturday. Bell led the way and wound up on the inside of Row 2 for the race at Darlington. The No. 20 car finished just behind the Hendrick car of Kyle Larson and the Team Penske of Joey Logano. Toyota's have run well […]

Kyle Larson And His Consistency Punctuated At Darlington

Naturally, Kyle Larson keeps finishing in the top-three including the last three appearances at Darlington. However, despite leading 204 out of 660 laps last season, the No. 5 car still did not win either race on the track "too tough to tame". Larson has found more ways to almost win on this course than most […]

Joey Logano Wins Pole At Darlington

Joey Logano the last few seasons has performed pretty well at Darlington for the most part. He has three top-ten results in his last six races. The fact that he won the pole for Sunday's race was mildly surprising. The Team Penske driver barely beat out Kyle Larson in the final round of qualifying. The […]

William Byron Learns Lesson From Wall At Dover

William Byron hit the wall hard on Saturday at qualifying. So, to the backup car he went and a 33rd-place start. All is not lost. That backup car is likely as good or even better than the regular No. 24 Chevy. Expect Byron to get a good head of steam up the field as the […]

Erik Jones A DFS Long Shot At Dover

Erik Jones had a poor qualifying run by his standards at Dover on Saturday and will start 25th on Sunday. However, do not be too alarmed. Jones has shown solid place differential on tracks like the Monster Mile the past three seasons. Jones has an average track position of 15.4 and one top-ten. If not […]

Joey Logano Could Offer DFS Benefit On Sunday

Joey Logano starts outside the top twenty on Sunday at Dover and could move up the field enough to make an impact DFS-wise. The Team Penske Ford had some later speed as the laps ticked down. The problem was qualifying where he placed just 22nd. That did raise some eyebrows in the garages and Logano […]

Martin Truex Jr. Consistency Issues Possible At Dover

One never thought to put consistency issues with a Martin Truex Jr. car at Dover but here we are. The Next-Gen has been a love-hate relationship for the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing driver. Truex Jr. carries a ton of pedigree here with a recent win, four top-five, and four top-ten results. However, he starts […]

Kurt Busch Not Expecting Much At Dover

Kurt Busch did not have the best of qualifying and practice on Saturday at Dover. He does start 16th and does have one top-ten result in his last five races. Other than that, the No. 45 car has not been much of a factor more toward the front of these races. The fact that his […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr Not Recommended At Dover

It has been a rough season for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and JTG Daugherty Racing. Not much is likely to change this week at Dover for the No. 47 Chevy. Stenhouse has finished outside the top-20 since that result at Fontana. It does not matter how fast his car has been. There always has been some […]

Justin Haley May Rise A Bit On Sunday

Justin Haley looked like he might factor into things at Dover but will start Sunday only in 14th position. However, he was one of those Chevy drivers that was carrying speed and acceleration well. Again, it boils down to getting that car up the field. Pit strategy and positioning will be vital along with some […]

Is Ryan Preece A Long Shot At Dover?

Ryan Preece starts 13th on Sunday and the Rick Ware Racing Ford did show unexpected quickness around the Dover track. He was trimming time off most of the contenders except for a few bobbles that cost him. His intervals were more level than most Ford cars as well. When a car only drops off that […]

Austin Cindric Could Learn A Lot At Dover

Austin Cindric could learn a lot of good information at Dover this weekend. He starts 12th on Sunday and one of the best Fords in Kevin Harvick is right in front of him. Cindric might look for a few pointers on the track as Harvick is one of the most consistent drivers at the Monster […]

Kevin Harvick Creates Some Intrigue At Dover

Few drivers can create some chaos at Dover quite like Kevin Harvick. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver may start 11th but he is almost a virtual lock for the top-ten. Besides winning one race here in his last five, Harvick is the only active driver who has finished every one of the last three years in […]

Kyle Busch Ends Up Starting In The Top Ten At Dover

Kyle Busch sneaked into the top ten during qualifying on Saturday. His outside Row 5 start is not bad but not the most optimal given track history. However, when has that ever rattled the younger Busch? Exactly. He has not won here in his last five races but does have at top-five result and three […]

Bubba Wallace Had A Good Week Leading Up To Sunday

Bubba Wallace may not be on the radar and this could prove to be nothing. However, the No. 23 car from 23XI Racing was fast and accelerated well on the Dover track. He qualified ninth but a turn here or there could have easily placed him into the top five. Wallace did not seem to […]

Daniel Suarez Starts Eighth At Dover On Sunday

Daniel Suarez starts from the outside of Row 4 on Sunday at Dover. The "Monster Mile" has a way of humbling drivers and Suarez has already had enough bad luck this season. His car had been running very well the last two weeks (64 and 28 laps led) but two circumstances hindered his races. At […]

Ross Chastain and TrackHouse A Wildcard On Sunday

Ross Chastain starts just behind the three Hendricks Motorsports cars in seventh on Sunday. The TrackHouse Racing car was fast yet again in qualifying. Practice may be a bit more unknown but it will come down how his No. 1 car fares as the laps tick down. Longer runs tend to happen at Dover and […]

Alex Bowman Could Win Dover Again On Sunday?

Alex Bowman was a surprise winner last year at Dover but a deeper look suggests not so much. He was able to stay out front due to a great pit stop with 97 laps to go. Bowman never looked back as he guided the No. 48 Hendricks Motorsports car to victory. This was not a […]

Can Ryan Blaney Win At Dover?

Ryan Blaney will start from the fifth position on Sunday afternoon. Blaney had a good car in practice and qualifying for Team Penske. Penske cars have not been the greatest on this track lately but consistently in the top ten at least. That is when it came to Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski. It does […]

Chase Elliott May Be The Fastest At Dover

Chase Elliott only had the fourth quickest lap in qualifying on Saturday but his speed intervals indicated something was unexpected. His car, in practice, got faster as the laps ticked down. In his lap runs, the No. 9 car was a few tenths faster than his shorter jaunts. So, if he is gaining speed there, […]

Kyle Larson Easily Favored At Dover

It is easy to see what Kyle Larson is favored at Dover. The "Monster Mile" was dominated by Hendrick Motorsports last Spring. That 1-2-3-4 sweep may prove not to be a fluke either this year. All four cars excelled here in testing and Larson qualified third on Saturday. Furthermore, the No. 5 car has led […]
