A.J. Allmendinger The Road Ringer At Austin On Sunday
A.J. Allmendinger already has had success this weekend at Austin. He won the Xfinity race on Saturday. The key was how the Kaulig Racing driver managed his restarts. The funnier thing is he did the same thing last year en route to a win at Indianapolis. Can he do it again on Sunday? This time, […]

Kevin Harvick May Have Chance At Austin
The slower of the Stewart-Haas Racing cars has been Kevin Harvick so far this season. That sounds nuts but the No. 4 has been just okay aside from Fontana. At the California road course, Harvick started 32nd but steamrolled his way into the top ten. That seventh-place finish was the best he looked all year. […]

Kyle Busch Has DFS Upside At Austin On Sunday
Kyle Busch starts 15th on Sunday from Austin's Circuit of the Americas. That may be just fine as this the type of race where starting in the teens may be more beneficial as the race draws onward. The younger Busch has five top-five results in his last 12 road races. He does have a couple […]

Chase Briscoe Begins 14th On Sunday From Austin
Chase Briscoe is one of those Stewart-Haas Racing drivers that could be a bit of a wildcard at Austin on Sunday. His Ford is usually pretty fast and his typical road start is 22nd. So, 14th is a bit of an improvement. His average result is around six spots higher than his start. That would […]

Sergio Garcia is traditionally a staple when the scene shifts to match play. He has three top-40 results in three tournaments played in North America in 2022.
