Austin Cindric Takes Pole For Wise Power 400
Austin Cindric backed up his Daytona 500 win by taking the pole position for Sunday afternoon's race at Fontana. The 200-lap race could unfold much differently, but for Cindric to win the pole is significant. He is the only Ford in the top-five cars. That is somewhat surprising. Cindric held off Erik Jones by just […]

Greyson Sigg Has Decent DFS Value At Honda Classic
The only question with Greyson Sigg seems to be whether he can put four contending rounds together. He can get to two or three usually but that fourth seems elusive. That was the case at Pebble Beach where the third round started to go sideways. Sigg held on for a 70 but then the final […]

Aaron Wise's Rough 2022 Could Continue At Honda Classic
Aaron Wise has had a tough time of it the past three tournaments. Even at The Genesis Invitational, the American shot all four rounds in the 70's with a 71-73 weekend. That put him outside the top 60 (tied for 67th). After missing two cuts, at least Wise did see the final two rounds. That […]

Chris Kirk May Have Value In Florida This Week
Chris Kirk bounced back solidly at the WM Phoenix Open with a top-15 result. He heads into the Honda Classic in Florida with a renewed sense of confidence. There are some red flags. In 2022, he has two cuts sandwiched in the middle of two solid finishes. The sample size is small but Kirk's all […]

Charles Howell III A Question Mark At Honda Classic
Maybe there are too many expectations on Charles Howell III. He missed the cut at the WM Phoenix Open as that opening round 75 did him no favors. Howell III did not play poorly at the American Express or the Sony Open. At the American Express, not enough putts dropped for him on the back […]

Cameron Tringale's Roller Coaster Season To Continue?
Which Cameron Tringale are we going to get at the Honda Classic this weekend? Will we see his top-20 form or will he miss the cut entirely? It's a great question without a clear answer. Since the Zozo Championship, he has alternated top-13 results with missing the cut. He's finished second, seventh, third and 13th, […]

Taylor Pendrith Heading To Honda Classic Soul Searching
Taylor Pendrith, like some other golfers, has struggled a good deal in 2022. The Canadian golfer hits the ball a long way, but the accuracy on his drives is less than desirable. He ranks 169th on tour so far with a 54.51% success rate hitting the fairway. Even his overall strokes gained is at minus-0.146. […]

Patrick Reed Slumping Heading Into Honda Classic
Patrick Reed has not had the greatest time of it this year. That was punctuated by missing the cut at the Genesis last week behind an opening round 77. It feels like Reed has gotten progressively worse over the first four tournaments of 2022. His shot-making has gone by the wayside, his drives are more […]

Kyle Busch Winds Up Sixth In Wild Ride At Daytona
Kyle Busch never truly factored in at the end of the race because he fell a bit too far back. The No. 18 car led 28 laps earlier in the race. The younger Busch in the final 12 laps did draw closer and closer. However, he still finished behind a slew of Fords. The Joe […]

Ryan Blaney Comes Up Short At Daytona, Ends Up Fourth
Ryan Blaney, fellow Team Penske teammate of Austin Cindric, tried to snatch the win from Cindric late in the race. It looked like he had the speed and lift. However, Cindric brilliantly blocked him which set off a chain of events. Blaney and several cars collided as he was credited with fourth place when all […]

Chase Briscoe Finishes Third At Daytona On Sunday
Chase Briscoe mostly avoided the big wrecks during the Daytona 500 and put himself in a position to at least contend. He did a bit more than that as Briscoe finished in third place. All around the last lap carnage, the No. 14 car just missed winning by less than a tenth of a second […]

Bubba Wallace A Runner-Up Once More At Daytona
Bubba Wallace had the setup and the push late to win the Daytona 500. He simply ran out of time as he tried to bump draft Austin Cindric. The 23XI Racing driver had a great car all day and was in a prime spot in the 16th position to start. By late in the race, […]

Austin Cindric Wins The Daytona 500
Austin Cindric knew he had a fast car. He just needed a little help late in the race. Cindric led the last couple laps that mattered the most. Of the 21 led, the last two were the hardest. Cindric held out Bubba Wallace and a hard charge by Ryan Blaney late to win the Daytona […]

Justin Haley Relishes Challenges Of Daytona
Justin Haley is one of those drivers who has limited experience at the highest level when it comes to Daytona. Haley has just three appearances. However, he has a win and another top-10 result. The win came in 2019 during the second race at Daytona which was just 127 laps. Then, in 2020, Haley improved […]

Kevin Harvick was on the tail end of the top 10 during his Duel race on Thursday night. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver never truly was a factor near the front of the 60-lap race. Harvick finished fifth in 2020 and fourth last year while leading 17 laps. The next-gen car has not been kind to […]

Denny Hamlin has not had a good week. He starts the Daytona 500 from the 30th position on Sunday. His Next-Gen car lagged a good deal behind throughout most of his Duel race.

Joey Logano was racing near the front during his Duel race on Thursday night before he crashed his primary car. The end result is that Logano will start 20th on Sunday in the Daytona 500.

Tyler Reddick Starts 15th On Sunday At Daytona
Tyler Reddick had very little success at Daytona in the top tier. That changed last summer when he raced to a fifth place finish. The Richard Childress car held up the entire race and most importantly he avoided wrecks. Reddick crashed out the first three times on the 2.5-mile track. Now, can he continue that […]
