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 […]

Kurt Busch Cannot Be Counted Out Sunday At Bristol

Kurt Busch starts from the inside of Row 7 on Sunday but cannot be counted out of the Food City Dirt Race. The 23XI Racing car is faster than what Busch had last year. He finished 16th in what can be best described as a sub-standard drive. It may come down to how many longer […]

Austin Dillon Sandwiched By Busch's On Sunday

Austin Dillon will begin Sunday's Food City Dirt Race at Bristol from the outside of Row 6. That is the good news. The bad news is Dillon's Chevy is sandwiched by two Toyota's (the Busch Brothers). Now, 11 of the top-20 cars qualifying were Chevy's. This seems like a surprise but not really. Their speed […]

Kyle Busch Begins Just Outside Of Top Ten Sunday

Some early math had Kyle Busch and Kurt Busch starting from Row 6 on Sunday and then it was revealed that was not the case. Both are close enough together (11th and 13th) to keep things fun for Sunday's Bristol race. Dirt track sibling rivalries on an Easter holiday seem to be a perfect recipe […]

Joey Logano Round Out Top Ten Starting At Bristol

Joey Logano has not been mentioned too much this weekend and he seamlessly qualified tenth to start the Food City Dirt Race on Sunday. This is last year's winner of the race after all. That is important in the sense he knows what it takes to win here. The Next-Gen car was not too bad […]

Chase Elliott Lurks From The Ninth Position At Bristol

Chase Elliott could not wait to get on the track Saturday at Bristol. He starts ninth on Sunday after a strong qualifier. There is significance in the sense that his Hendrick car lost less than four tenths of a second from his best lap to his 30-lap interval. Tyler Reddick dropped almost 3/4 of a […]

Alex Bowman Starts In The Top Ten At Bristol

This will be interesting but Alex Bowman begins the Food City Dirt Race eighth on Sunday night. Bowman and Bristol are an intriguing mix. The Hendrick Motorsports cars have been fast and the No. 48 showed in his heat that he could pass some cars too. There does seem to be this pattern where the […]

Ty Dillon Wins Qualifying Heat At Bristol

This was a big moment for Ty Dillon and his Chevy. The Petty GMS Motorsports team has not had the greatest start this 2022 season. However, on Saturday, Dillon and his No. 42 car won his qualifying heat and cemented a top-ten position to start at Bristol. His 15-lap interval was among the top-five cars […]

Justin Haley A Wildcard Of Sorts At Bristol

Justin Haley raced well during his heat on Saturday which adds some intrigue. His Chevy was fast and good around the corners. There was not much tight on the Kaulig Racing car and that was encouraging. The No. 31 won his heat but his place differential was not as good as the others. Therefore, he […]

Kyle Larson Set Up For Success At Bristol

The same thing was said last year about Kyle Larson. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver was primed for a great run on the dirt. That is when disaster err Christopher Bell struck. On the other hand, Larson begins the Food City Dirt Race on Sunday from the fifth position. Larson is one of those veteran […]

Chase Briscoe Enjoys Good Qualifying Round At Bristol

Chase Briscoe will start the Food City Dirt Race from the fourth position on Sunday night. Briscoe and his Stewart-Haas Racing Ford have been fast from the start here. His early time in the first practice session was only eclipsed by Tyler Reddick. Reddick is believed to have the fastest car going into Sunday. The […]

Tyler Reddick Begins Third On Sunday At Bristol

There is little debate that Tyler Reddick had the fastest car on Saturday night. The first nine laps of his qualifying heat saw Reddick eventually get past Ross Chastain and then pull out to a nearly two-second lead. The caution came out after a spin. That did not matter. Reddick and his Chevy were able […]

Christopher Bell Starts Second On Sunday At Bristol

Christopher Bell has to be considered one of the favorites on the Bristol short-track Sunday. He was able to qualify second on Saturday and has the ability to run up front on the dirt. The track had a decent balance of wet and dry but the Joe Gibbs Racing driver excels in these conditions. It […]

Cole Custer Nabs Pole Position At Bristol

The Next-Gen car revealed a few interesting trends but one was how Cole Custer negotiated the field in his qualifying heat. On a short-track, Custer was aided by the conditions and a well-timed caution after nine laps. He benefitted the most due to place differential and as a result, took the pole for Sunday's Food […]

Ross Chastain Fights Into Top Five On Saturday Night

The Chevy cars were pretty fast after all on Saturday night. Ross Chastain was able to fight and scrap his way into the top five at the end of 403 laps. Martinsville became a bit predictable from a racing standpoint but Chastain scooped up his fifth top-five result of the season. That leads all NASCAR […]

Ryan Blaney Nets Top Five Result At Martinsville

Ryan Blaney does it again for Team Penske and the Ford. Blaney finished fourth on Saturday at Martinsville while leading five laps. He was not on the William Byron-Chase Elliott train. Also, the No. 12 car just could not get around Austin Dillon or Joey Logano in the final overtime laps. The good news for […]

Austin Dillon Rushes Up To Third At Martinsville

Give Austin Dillon credit. He started from a long way back in 23rd on Saturday. The Chevy was faster at the end but not quite enough on the restarts. That was the difference as Dillon had to settle for third on Saturday night. He was one of the few drivers not named Byron or Elliott […]

Joey Logano Mild Surprise En Route To Second At Richmond

Joey Logano just kept driving on Saturday. He did not lead a single lap but from 14th, the Ford persisted. That resulted in a second-place finish on Saturday night from Richmond. He never could get close enough to William Byron. That seemed to be a problem all night. Was it the cold and the lack […]

William Byron Seals Win In Overtime At Martinsville

William Byron got the job done in what was a relatively uneventful race on Saturday night from Martinsville. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing team dominated the laps led department overall. Byron, however, led the ones that mattered along with 212 overall. He held off Joey Logano and Austin Dillon to win his second race of the […]

NASCAR DFS Prop Picks for 4/9 - PrizePicks

Hello once again everyone!  We drive on over to Martinsville, Virginia for the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400 this week and the eighth 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 […]

Chase Briscoe Has Potential At Martinsville

Chase Briscoe and his Ford begin Saturday evening 19th at Martinsville. The Stewart-Haas Racing car was not grouped in the top cluster with the rest of his teammates. However, the No. 14 was able to maintain most of its early speed later in runs. At the least, Briscoe could move up the field some especially […]

Denny Hamlin Needs To Find Speed Saturday Night

Denny Hamlin and the Joe Gibbs Racing car needs to find speed somehow on Saturday night or it may be a long race. Hamlin's best lap in Friday qualifying and practice was still slower than rookie Todd Gilliland by almost 1/4 of a second. The numbers only became worse as the laps ticked off. Are […]

Bubba Wallace Not So Recommended At Martinsville

Some regard Bubba Wallace as a possible "sleeper" pick. The jury remains out on this one as Wallace qualified 21st on Friday. Furthermore, his Toyota dropped by well over a half-second as the laps piled up. That is an eternity on this short track. The Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400 does not offer much time […]
