Joey Logano Brushes Wall, Qualifies Seventh At Fontana

Joey Logano had an interesting time on Saturday as he brushed the wall a little but still wound up seventh in qualifying. Starting inside Row 4 will not be so bad for the Ford No. 22. This is not like 2020 where, he finished 12th. Before that, Logano had five straight top-five results including a […]


Ryan Blaney Starts Sixth At Fontana On Sunday

Ryan Blaney will start from the sixth position at the Wise Power 400 on Sunday. The Team Penske Ford almost pulled off a win at Daytona last week and could have some success again this weekend in Southern California. Blaney had one misleading result but three top-10 finishes before that. In 2020, the No. 12 […]


Daniel Hemric Qualifies Fifth For Wise Power 400

Daniel Hemric was the second Chevy to qualify in the top-five for the Wise Power 400 on Sunday. The Fontana course showed Hemric to be among the better drivers in practice just outside the top-ten (13th). The No. 16 car has speed but had even more come the qualifying session. He wound up just 0.359 […]


Denny Hamlin Thriving At Fontana Ahead Of Sunday's Race

Denny Hamlin started the weekend well at practice. He topped all drivers and then consolidated that result by qualifying fourth for Sunday's Wise Power 400. Hamlin finished 0.303 seconds behind Austin Cindric for the pole. The No. 11 car has looked very fast much like his teammate, Kyle Busch. Now, Hamlin has never won this […]


Kyle Busch A Favorite For The Wise Power 400

Kyle Busch qualified third for Sunday afternoon's race at Fontana just 0.211 seconds behind Austin Cindric. The younger Busch has excelled on the two-mile track in past years. He has seven top-three results in his last nine races. The high-wear course favors the Joe Gibbs Racing driver. Even two years ago, Busch battled his way […]


Erik Jones Qualifies In Second At Fontana

Erik Jones nearly won the pole for the Wise Power 400 on Sunday. He came up just 0.116 seconds short of the pole winner, Austin Cindric. Jones has a little bit of success at the Southern California track. He does have a top-ten result in his last two races on the two-mile d-shaped oval. While […]


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 […]


Aric Almirola Ends Up Fifth At Daytona

Aric Almirola rolled from the back of the field to the front at Daytona on Sunday. He was in a great position to put his Ford into victory lane after the lap 195 wreck. Almirola was fifth in the restart for the final six laps which turned into a two lap shootout. In his last […]


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 […]


NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Daytona 500 - Monkey Knife Fight

Sunday afternoon features the 2022 season opener better known as the Daytona 500. The race takes place on a 2.5-mile super 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 […]


NASCAR DFS Prop Picks for 2/20 - PrizePicks

Hello once again everyone!  We head to Daytona International Speedway for the Daytona 500 this week and the first 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 where you can choose […]


Corey LaJoie Has Intriguing DFS Value At Daytona

Corey LaJoie has had an interesting history over the past three years at Daytona. The Spire Motorsports driver starts 24th on Sunday. However, there are grounds for hope. LaJoie has three top-ten finishes in his previous six starts on the 2.5-mile track. His overall average result was 13 which is third among all active NASCAR […]


Aric Almirola Starts From Back At Daytona

Aric Almirola expects to have quite a battle on his hands on Sunday at Daytona. He begins from the 38th position after a disastrous duel race on Thursday night. Almirola did qualify fourth earlier in the week but his practice sessions have been around the top ten. Aside from the 29th in the first practice, […]


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 […]


William Byron May Need Help To Finish Well At Daytona

William Byron qualified among the top four drivers earlier in the week but starts Sunday 23rd at the Daytona 500. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver finished outside the top-10 in his duel race which surprised some pundits. Daytona has not been kind to Byron especially when it comes to the 200-lap race. Byron crashed in […]


Kevin Harvick Starts 22nd At Daytona On Sunday

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 Expects To Move Up At Daytona

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. However, in qualifying, he did finish eighth and that may be something to point to. The speed is there. What Hamlin possesses […]


Joey Logano Relegated To Backup Car At Daytona

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. Furthermore, the backup car just causes concern. Granted, the Team Penske driver has won the Daytona 500 before. He led […]


Kurt Busch Has New Beginning For This Daytona 500

Kurt Busch joined 23XI Racing for the 2022 season with Bubba Wallace. He qualified 17th for the Daytona 500 and will start right behind his teammate. The No. 45 car will feature a driver who no doubt is re-energized after a turbulent 2021 season. The elder Busch had a series of near misses with Team […]
