Alex Bowman Might Move Up Field Saturday Night

Alex Bowman and the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports car begin 15th at Martinsville on Saturday night. Does he stay there? That does not seem likely. Bowman has a knack of lurking then striking. His one win on the track came in such a scenario. What is lost is the bad luck that happened a couple […]

Joey Logano May Not Contend Again At Martinsville

Despite his track record on the course, Joey Logano may have problems moving up at Martinsville on Saturday night. Logano does have an answer finish of 8.3 in the Team Penske Ford. He starts 14th which is not that bad of a place to qualify. However, the No. 22 car may need some drafting help […]

Austin Cindric Looking To Move Up At Martinsville

For Austin Cindric, qualifying 13th may not be a bad thing at Martinsville. Cindric can keep his speed with a pack of cars that can reel in the early front-runners. From there, it comes down to can the Ford avoid trouble. Martinsville can be a dangerous track where things err incidents happen quickly. Cindric has […]

Ryan Blaney May Have Some DFS Upside Saturday

Ryan Blaney was another driver who got caught in the not so lucky group when it came to qualifying. Blaney did turn in one of the faster laps but ended up 12th in qualifying. His Team Penske Ford maintained speed decently as the practice laps increased. Blaney's average finish of 5.8 is the best of […]

Kyle Busch A Question Mark For Martinsville

Kyle Busch ran some fast laps but not in the round of qualifying that truly mattered. As a result, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver will start 11th on Saturday night. The sub-20 second laps were there but the No. 18 car slowed down a good bit as the laps went on. Loop data indicated well […]

Todd Gilliland Begins From The Top 10 At Richmond

Todd Gilliland surprised many with a 10th-place lap in qualifying on Friday. While quite a few cars turned in faster laps later, Gilliland was able to advance to the final round of qualifying, which guaranteed him a top-10 start. The No. 38 Front Row Motorsports driver got a little lucky, but sometimes luck is good. […]

Brad Keselowski Starts Ninth On Saturday From Martinsville

Brad Keselowski and his RFK Racing team lost their appeal but excelled on the track Friday in qualifying. He was the fifth of six Ford cars in the top ten. Keselowski finished almost a third of a second behind pole-sitter Chase Elliott. The driver is the only active racer to finish five times in the […]

Kyle Larson Starts Eighth From Martinsville On Saturday

Kyle Larson finished third among the Hendrick Motorsports Racing drivers in qualifying on Friday. Still, starting eighth at Martinsville is not a bad position to begin at. The No. 5 car has led 4.1% of the laps over the past three seasons and does have a couple of top-ten results too. That includes a top-five […]

Christopher Bell Qualifies As Top Toyota At Martinsville

In a bit of a mild surprise, Christopher Bell will start seventh after qualifying on Friday afternoon at Martinsville. Bell was fast but then it started to vanish. It was why data trended in the wrong direction. The No. 20 was one of the few who did not run longer than 15 laps. It will […]

Kevin Harvick Could Stay Close To Front At Martinsville

It seems Kevin Harvick and the Ford cars had something good on Friday. Harvick tends to qualify pretty well at Martinsville.

Harvick has finished inside the top-ten in three of his past six starts on the short track. […]

William Byron Expects To Contend At Martinsville

William Byron won the Trucks race but that was not enough on Friday. Byron and his No. 24 Hendrick Racing car qualified fifth and was one bobble from the pole. The driver has four top-ten results in the last five races aside from a fluke of a crash. Byron has only led nine laps on […]

Chris Buescher Re-Emerges At Martinsville

Chris Buescher had struggled in 2022 at times but put together a very good lap on Friday. He qualified fourth at Martinsville and is nestled among five other Ford cars in the top ten.

Cole Custer Continues Ford Wave At Martinsville

Some names are not used to being this high but Cole Custer was among the Ford wave during qualifying at Martinsville. Custer finished third behind Aric Almirola and Chase Elliott on Friday afternoon. Custer, like Almirola, does not have the track record of some of the top-tiered drivers. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has never qualified […]

Aric Almirola Qualifies Second For Saturday Night's Race

Aric Almirola nearly pulled off a pole position run on Friday afternoon but came up just 0.105 seconds short. He settled for second or outside of Row 1 when the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400 starts Saturday night. Again, as the track conditions cooled, that was when some interesting trends started to emerge. Almirola and […]

Chase Elliott Nets Pole At Martinsville

Chase Elliott got around the Martinsville "Paperclip" faster than anyone else on Friday afternoon. His time of 19.694 seconds was good enough to wind up on the pole for Saturday night's Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400. The Hendricks Motorsports Racing driver is one of the few drivers to win other than Martin Truex Jr. recently. […]

Zach Johnson Not Expecting Much At Augusta

It was 2007 when Zach Johnson shocked the world and won The Masters. He was able to make so many putts then and hit just long enough to pull off the improbable. Now, Johnson can barely hit 280 yards off the tee. The American can still putt the ball well but his scoring average gets […]

Lucas Glover Not Recommended At Augusta

Lucas Glover and his starts at The Masters over the past several years reel off like this: The American has shot between a 73 and 77 during every appearance. That has put him well behind the rest of the field while playing catch up the rest of the way. This is why Glover has only […]

Sam Burns A Dangerously Good Choice For Masters

Sam Burns checks off quite a few of the boxes for Augusta. He can drive the ball with length and some accuracy (310 off the tee). He hits greens at nearly 71% accuracy and his drives at greater than 60%. He ranks seventh in birdie average at 4.68. Burns putts pretty well too. Add in […]

Cameron Champ A Long Shot At Augusta

Cameron Champ hits the ball further than anyone else on the PGA Tour this season. His average drive is 322 yards. The problem is after that. Champ can only keep half the drives in the fairway (50.45%). That ranks just 199th. From there, the American golfer has one of the worst scoring averages on tour […]

Luke List A Total Wild Card For The Masters

Luke List can hammer a golf ball. List can win tournaments with his putting and length. The problem is these things only come together every so often. He can get on a three or four week run then struggle for a month or two. Since winning The Farmers Invitational in January, that has been List […]

Danny Willett May Have Struggles At Masters

Danny Willett had that magical Sunday in 2016 where he stormed the back-nine en route to a 67 that won him the green jacket. Since then, there have been a series of missed cuts and one decent top 25 finish. That weekend was filled with a number of missed putts followed by last year's first […]

Shane Lowry Must Start Strong At Augusta

There is this sense that Shane Lowry needs to get off to a hot start on Thursday at Augusta. He does not quite have the length of other golfers (300 yards a drive). Also, his driving accuracy is not the greatest. However, his 70.3% greens-in-regulation statistic is 28th. Combine that with a good scoring average […]

Justin Rose's Beginning Is Key To End At Masters

Justin Rose knows he has to get off to a good start on Thursday. Weather could be iffy for practice rounds and expects to improve as the day moves along on Thursday. Rose has not fared well since The Farmers Invitational. He barely made the weekend then missed the cut in his next two tournaments […]

Brooks Koepka Always An Intriguing Choice At Masters

Brooks Koepka has the length needed to do well at the Masters. He hits 310 yard drives on average which ranks 20th on the tour. It is going to boil down to accuracy and dropping some putts early. The last round of the Valspar and the Dell-WGC Match Play showed Koepka had that ability. Does […]

Kyle Larson Rides Drafts Up To Fifth On Sunday

Kyle Larson never quite had the push and speed to get to the front of the field on Sunday at Richmond. The No. 5 car was pretty fast but far from the fastest. He was able to sneak up the field. By the end of Stage 2, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver was ninth. From […]

Martin Truex Jr.'s Tires Wear At Richmond

Joe Gibbs Racing was at the forefront on Sunday as Martin Truex Jr. led 80 of the 400 laps at Richmond. He accumulated the most stage points (17) and won Stage 2 on Sunday. In the end, the No. 19 car just did not have the tires to maintain grip and speed on the short […]

William Byron Holds On For Third Place At Richmond

William Byron led all the Hendrick Motorsports Racing cars on Sunday at Richmond. He led 122 out of the 400 laps on the 3/4 mile track. It looked like he might even win but his car just was not quite fast enough. Ultimately, the hard charging Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick went by him with […]

Kevin Harvick Pushes His Way To Second At Richmond

Kevin Harvick had the speed and push to get to the front at Richmond. It seemed like the No. 4 Ford had the best chance to win the Toyota Owners 400. However, Harvick never did get to the front of the race. Harvick never even led a lap. However, late in the race he got […]

Denny Hamlin Gets Into The Win Column At Richmond

The Joe Gibbs Racing car passed the test on Sunday as Denny Hamlin found a late surge in speed. He was able to pass William Byron and Martin Truex Jr. on his way to win the Toyota Owners 400. The No. 11 driver finished just outside the top ten during the first two stages. However, […]
