Christopher Bell Wins Pole At Vegas

Christopher Bell put the problems of the first two weeks behind him and won the pole for the Pennzoil 400 on Sunday. His 182.673 mph lap bested Kyle Larson's effort by 0.289 seconds. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver is the second driver this year to win their first career pole. The other was Austin Cindric […]

Greyson Sigg Has Some Questions After Honda Classic

Greyson Sigg created more questions than answers after missing the cut last week at The Honda Classic. He could not recover from an opening-round 75 (plus-five). Add in the two rounds over 72, and Sigg just did not come close to seeing the weekend last week. Sigg could easily bounce back, but a lot of […]

Aaron Wise Has Lower Potential At Arnold Palmer

Aaron Wise has missed the cut in three of his last four tournaments. The one, he made, was The Genesis Invitational. Wise barely made the cut on his way to finishing tied for 67th. The American shot 70 or worse in every one of those rounds. That makes nine straight rounds now. Wise is 90th […]

Chris Kirk Carrying Momentum Into This Week

Even with a bit of a drop-off over the weekend last week at The Honda Classic, Chris Kirk did finish tied for seventh. Kirk was right near the top early into the third round. That is when the Georgian's game went south a bit. Kirk's triple bogey on 15 on Sunday just killed any hope […]

Branden Grace Trying To Find His Game At Arnold Palmer

Branden Grace is just not striking the golf ball well or doing much of anything well lately. He could not make anywhere near enough birdies at the season opener. He could not make the cut at the Sony Open. Furthermore, Grace could not get going at all at the Genesis. It was bad. This was […]

Keegan Bradley May Struggle At Arnold Palmer

Keegan Bradley needs to string four rounds together this week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. The growing sense is that Bradley may just not be capable of that right now. The last time he did so was the Sony Open, where he finished T12. Since then, it has been a bit of a roller coaster […]

Charles Howell III Looking For Solace At Arnold Palmer

Charles Howell III has probably had two of the worst weeks he could ever ask for from a golf perspective. It is not just that he missed the cut, it is how. Howell III had an awful round that sealed his fate where he could not make putts. Then, erratic stroke play created even more […]

Cameron Tringale's Up-And-Down Season May Continue

Cameron Tringale has been up and down and all over the place this season on the PGA Tour. It seems like he alternates very good finishes with missing cuts. This seems to border on the almost crazy. That up and down nature has affected his numbers somewhat but when he is on, he is top-20 […]

Erik van Rooyen Faces Questions At Arnold Palmer

Erik van Rooyen has played pretty well on the tour in the early going in 2022. The South African golfer has made six straight cuts. Though he has not finished inside the top 20, van Rooyen has not finished worse than T54. On the other side, he has not truly contended since his win last […]

Patrick Reed Needs Something To Lean On This Week

Last week, Patrick Reed may have hit rock bottom. At The Honda Classic, Reed blew up on the back nine en route to a disastrous 79. That back nine featured three double bogeys and three bogeys in all. The week before, Reed started with an awful 77 at The Genesis Invitational. Can Reed find a […]

Aric Almirola Ends Up Sixth At Wise Power 400

Aric Almirola was near the top at the end of the Daytona 500 last week. He wound up fifth after being fifth at the restart. Almirola was again near the top contenders this Sunday at Fontana. This time, the result was one start worse but the Ford driver still ended up sixth. The No. 10 […]

Joey Logano Finishes In Top Five At Fontana

Joey Logano wound up as the top Ford driver on Sunday at Fontana. He finished fifth as his No. 22 car slipped heavily on the final lap as he dropped nearly a second from the top three drivers. His Team Penske vehicle just did not seem to have that short burst speed needed to stay […]

Daniel Suarez Nearly Pulls Off Win At Fontana

Daniel Suarez had it right there in the final laps of the Wise Power 400. Everything set up as he was in a prime position. In the end, Kyle Larson passed him once, then Suarez battled back to take the lead. Then Larson got incensed and took the lead at the end of lap 198. […]

Erik Jones Proves Qualifying Was No Fluke At Fontana

Erik Jones qualified second for the Wise Power 400 and little was expected. He was a long shot but there projected to be longer runs. That did not quite work out on Sunday as Fontana featured 12 cautions and 32 lead changes. The result allowed Jones to creep closer and closer as the last restart […]

Austin Dillon Charges Up To Second At Fontana

Austin Dillon was able to kind of lurk around late and made quite the charge after the last restart. He gained several positions in the final laps to finish second. Dillon ended up less than two tenths of a second behind Kyle Larson. Dillon, the Richard Childress Racing driver, felt like he had the car […]

Kyle Larson Holds Off Field To Win At Fontana

Kyle Larson found a way to gain the momentum and force other drivers off the throttle late in Sunday's race at Fontana. The result was the No. 5 car taking the lead back with two laps to go (32nd lead change) to hold on. Larson took his first win of the season, but it wasn't […]

NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Wise Power 400 - Monkey Knife Fight

Sunday afternoon features the Wise Power 400. The race takes place on a 2-mile speedway track (200 laps in all). Monkey Knife Fight has an extremely easy fantasy point system: 0.1 points for each lap led and then a set amount of points for their position (20 for 1st place, 19 for 2nd place, 18 […]

Chris Buescher May Not Have Much Upside At Fontana

Chris Buescher may have some problems at Fontana on Sunday. Buescher has only shown a positive place differential in one race at the track (his debut there). After that, it has been a series of decreases. The RFK racing driver has finished 16th at Fontana the last two starts. He qualified 11th and 14th though. […]

Christopher Bell Begins 19th At Fontana Sunday

Christopher Bell has one appearance at the top level at Fontana. It did not end well. After 80 laps, Bell's engine failed as he finished 38th. This was after a 22nd place start. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver starts in 19th and has shown an ability to race on any type of track. Even a […]

Ty Dillon Climbs Into Top-20 Start At Fontana

Ty Dillon probably did not expect to start 18th at Fontana but he will on Sunday. The Petty GMS Motorsports driver has had three consecutive appearances of 26th or worse at the Southern California track. The No. 42 Chevy was faster in qualifying than in practice but is it enough? That 31st in practice is […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Tries To Rebound At Fontana

After the late heartbreak for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. last week at the Daytona 500, he starts 17th on Sunday. The Fontana track has not been that kind to the JTG-Daugherty Racing driver. He has one top-five and a few close calls. Stenhouse Jr. only has led one lap in his eight appearances. This may not […]

Austin Dillon Has Some DFS Upside At Fontana

Austin Dillon has enjoyed some pretty solid results at Fontana. The Wise Power 400 could go that way again on Sunday. Dillon has four top-11 finishes in his seven appearances on the Southern California track. The Richard Childress Racing driver has never led a single lap, however. That is something to keep in mind but […]

Daniel Suarez Could Be A Wild Card At Fontana

Daniel Suarez and Trackhouse Racing had an adventurous Daytona 500 to say the least. He also has a bit of a mixed record when it comes to Fontana. There are two outside top-20 appearances to go along with a 7th and 13th. He starts 15th on Sunday for the Wise Power 400. The longer runs […]

Alex Bowman Looks For Success Again At Fontana

Alex Bowman and the No. 48 car found a way two years ago to not only win the 400-mile race at Fontana, but he led 220 of those miles (110 laps). It was a dominant performance that put the spotlight on Bowman. Considering that his other four appearances on the track were nowhere near the […]

Kyle Larson Right At Home At Fontana

Kyle Larson qualifying at only 13th is not terrible by itself. Larson, before his days at Hendrick Motorsports Racing, won three of his five races on two-mile tracks. Fontana is a two-mile D-oval track that suits Larson's driving skills well. He won here in 2017 and finished second in 2018. Before two riddled with problems […]

Martin Truex Jr. Loves High-Wear Tracks Like Fontana

Martin Truex Jr. starts 12th on Sunday from the Auto Club Speedway at Fontana. The No. 19 car has won this race before in 2018. Truex Jr. is in a good position once again. 2019 and 2020 saw him start from the back of the field which made it hard for him to make up […]

Tyler Reddick Leads Practice Session, Begins 11th Sunday

Tyler Reddick was the fastest in Practice Session B on Saturday but could not make it to the final round of qualifying. As a result, he starts 11th for the Wise Power 400. Reddick finished 11th in his only race on the track in 2020 at the top level. What could he do on the […]

Chase Elliott Rounds Out Top 10 At Fontana

Chase Elliott finished just behind fellow Hendricks driver William Byron Jr. on Saturday. That resulted in qualifying tenth for the Wise Power 400. Elliott and his No. 9 car have fared pretty well at Fontana. He had a sixth in his debut at the Cup level on the track in 2016. In 2020, he finished […]
