Ryan Blaney will start on the pole for Saturday night's Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway, his fourth pole in the last five races and his second career pole at this particular track. The last time Blaney started first at Richmond was back in 2022, where he led 128 laps en route to a seventh-place […]

The Summer of Joey Logano continues this weekend at Richmond Raceway, as the Team Penske driver looks to have one of the best long-run cars in practice for the upcoming Cook Out 400. Logano is a two-time Richmond winner and a constant top five threat. He started back in 38th-place in last year's race and […]

Kyle Busch was always one of the best race car drivers at Richmond Raceway, and Denny Hamlin is right there with him. Busch got to victory lane six times in his career at this track, and Hamlin is close behind him, with five so far in 37 attempts. Can he tie the sure Hall of […]

It was another second-place finish for Christopher Bell last weekend at Iowa, as the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has now finished runner-up seven times this season (and four times in the last five races). Can he finally get to victory lane here at Richmond Raceway on Saturday night? Bell qualified eighth for this weekend's Cook […]

Last week's winner at Iowa, Ty Gibbs, will have a good starting spot for this weekend's race at Richmond, as the No. 54 Toyota was fourth-fastest during qualifying on Friday evening. That was a bit surprising, as Gibbs struggled to find any speed during the practice session earlier that day, ranking 20th-fastest overall. Additionally, Richmond […]

Kyle Larson will have some work to do at Richmond Raceway on Saturday night, as the two-time Cup Series Champion qualified back in 30th place for this weekend's Cook Out 400. Now, with that being said, it's not like Larson hasn't had to deal with this before. In fact, he started 30th in last year's […]

Sometimes you come across a statistic that doesn't seem real, but it is. This weekend, that is the fact that Chase Briscoe has never finished inside the top 10 at Richmond Raceway. He has gotten close a few times, but in Chase's nine career attempts at this race track, his best finish thus far is […]

The Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolets were all over the board in qualifying at Richmond Raceway on Friday evening, ending up fifth, 13th, 25th, and 30th. The driver leading the way? William Byron in the No. 24 Chevrolet, who will roll off the starting grid from row three on Saturday night. Surprisingly enough, Richmond Raceway hasn't been […]

At first glance, Tyler Reddick looks like a slam-dunk DFS pick this weekend at Richmond Raceway. He's super affordable for his skill set ($9.0K salary) and he starts way back in 32nd-place for Saturday night's Cook Out 400, giving him massive Place Differential upside. But is he a must-play? There is no doubt that Reddick […]

It has been nine races since Chase Elliott last finished inside the top 10, and a full 13 races since he has notched a top-five result. And although his results during that span aren't awful--he has finished between 11th and 17th in seven of the last eight races--they're definitely not up to the standard that […]

Don't count out Bubba Wallace in Saturday night's Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway. The 23XI Racing driver has been very impressive at this track over the last few years, as he has finished eighth or better in all eight Stages during that span (including a Stage win last year). The final race results have […]

Richmond Raceway has always been a good race track for Austin Dillon, but with this Next Gen car in the Cup Series, it's easily his best. Dillon has undoubtedly found something that his competitors have not, as the No. 3 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing has gone to victory lane in each of the last […]

Don't overlook Josh Berry in the Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway this weekend. Fresh off his season-best finish of fourth last week at Iowa, Berry will now start from third place at Richmond on Saturday night--and he just may finish up there as well. Berry has made four career Cup Series starts at this […]

After a big DFS winning week at Iowa last weekend, we're on to Richmond Raceway for the Cook Out 400 on Saturday night this week. Richmond is another short, flat track, although the tire wear here is crazy high, so teams will have to deal with that as well. Gave away all my Chrome Horn... […]

The NASCAR Cup Series has another exciting race lined up under the lights this weekend, as the Cook Out 400 is set to take place at Richmond Raceway on Sunday evening. Richmond has been a stop on the schedule for decades, with several current drivers having over 25 career starts here (including Denny Hamlin, Joey... […]

On Friday afternoon, the NASCAR Cup Series held the qualifying session for this weekend's race at Richmond Raceway, the Cook Out 400. The Fords showed up on Friday, as Ryan Blaney grabbed the pole for the second week in a row. Josh Berry will start from the second row, and Ryan Preece put another Ford […]

The NASCAR Cup Series ran a single practice session at Richmond Raceway on Friday afternoon in preparation for the upcoming Cook Out 400 on Saturday afternoon. The 37-car field was split into two groups and had 25 minutes of practice time each. Below you will find key notes from the practice session as well as […]

The stars are aligning for Ryan Blaney this weekend, as the Team Penske driver has a perfect path to domination in Sunday afternoon's Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway. We saw Blaney absolutely dominate the first Cup Series race here back in 2024, and it's looking likely to happen again. Blaney won the pole on […]

Christopher Bell is one of the best at short, flat tracks, and Iowa Speedway should be no exception. However, after the first two Cup races here, it's looking as though Bell hasn't quite figured out this short, flat track. He finished fourth here back in 2024, but had a driver rating of just 97.2 and […]

Chase Elliott got loose during his practice run at Iowa Speedway on Saturday afternoon and backed his No. 9 Chevrolet into the wall, sustaining damage to the front and rear of the left side of the race car. His Hendrick Motorsports crew will have to repair the damage before the race starts on Sunday, and […]

It was a great day for Brad Keselowski on Saturday at Iowa Speedway, and then it wasn't. In practice, the No. 6 Ford showed some respectable speed (14th-fastest), but once qualifying came around, Keselowski was one of the best, and he actually ended up fourth-fastest in the session. Unfortunately, he will have to drop to […]

Austin Cindric is currently sitting 16th in points with four races to go until the Chase cutoff. He has a comfortable 38-point cushion over 17th-place, Ryan Preece, but we all know how quickly that can evaporate. Thankfully for Cindric, though, the NASCAR Cup Series is at Iowa Speedway this week, and the Team Penske Fords […]

Ross Chastain's No. 1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet has looked stout at Iowa Speedway thus far this weekend, as the "Melon Man" had respectable speed in both practice and qualifying on Saturday. Chastain ranked third-best in 30-lap average during practice--showing that he had good long-run speed--and then went out and qualified ninth for this weekend's Iowa […]

The NASCAR Cup Series continues the trend of flat tracks this weekend, as the Iowa Corn 350 is set to take place on Sunday afternoon from Iowa Speedway. This is a 0.875-mile oval that is flat but kind of races like a speedway. However, the drivers that are good at short, flat tracks should be... […]

We're in the final stretch of the regular season, as the NASCAR Cup Series has four races left until the start of this year's Chase. First up in the final four races of the regular season is the Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway this weekend. Iowa is a relatively new track to the Cup... […]

Gilly for the Milly! Todd Gilliland won the In-Season Challenge at Indianapolis last race, giving us huge 45/1 bet hits on him.

On Saturday afternoon, the NASCAR Cup Series held the qualifying session for this weekend's race at Iowa Speedway, the Iowa Corn 350. It ended up being quite the qualifying session, as we had some surprising drivers end up toward the front of the speed chart, and also some big-name drivers end up slow and in […]

The NASCAR Cup Series ran a single practice session at Iowa Speedway on Saturday afternoon in preparation for the upcoming Iowa Corn 350 on Sunday afternoon. The 36-car field had a full 50-minute session with all cars on track at the same time. If you're wondering why this a combined 50-minute session when that new […]
