The new points leader of the NASCAR Cup Series, Kyle Larson, is poised to have another solid run at Kansas Speedway this weekend. Thanks to qualifying being cancelled, Larson will start from second place for the Hollywood Casino 400, and he's the favorite to be the early dominator in the race. Larson has been great […]

Look for Christopher Bell to be strong at Kansas Speedway this weekend. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has finished eighth or better in five of the last six races at this track and has also led 43 or more laps in three of the last four. This weekend, the No. 20 Toyota will roll off […]

Ryan Blaney's Championship hopes took a massive hit at Bristol last weekend, as the Team Penske driver had one of the best cars all night but was wrecked out and ended up finishing 33rd. If he was going to stay in the title hunt, Blaney needed a great run at Bristol. Now the Cup Series […]

It has been a rough couple of weeks for Chase Briscoe, who came into the Chase as a potential sleeper for the Championship. He finished 27th at Bristol last weekend after a late-race mechanical failure, and that followed a 32nd-place finish after wrecking at Gateway. The No. 19 team desperately needs a good run this […]

It has been a while since Chase Elliott has been a contender on race day. In fact, since his win at Texas back in May, Chase has mustered just two top-10 finishes over the last 18 races, and over the last five he has ended up 23rd or worse four times. Not great for an […]

Qualifying got rained out at Kansas Speedway this weekend, which means the starting lineup was set by the metric. That also means that Alex Bowman will roll off the grid from 33rd-place for Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400. That's obviously not a great start for the No. 48 team this race weekend, but it is great […]

The fourth Chase race of the season is this weekend with the Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway, and, unfortunately, we have yet another weekend of no practice or qualifying. Rain washed out both sessions for the Cup Series on Saturday morning, which means we'll have to deal with no practice speeds and a lineup... […]

Stop me if you've heard this one before: NASCA Cup Series practice and qualifying were cancelled this weekend due to weather. Once again, we get no pre-race data for this weekend's Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway, but the good news is we have a plethora of relevant intermediate track numbers to use to handicap... […]

We got back on track at Bristol last weekend with a +2.48 unit night thanks to top-10 finishes from both Carson Hocevar and Bubba Wallace. Now, the NASCAR Cup Series heads to Kansas Speedway for the Hollywood Casino 400. Hocevar top 10 +160 ✅ Bubba top 10 +175 ✅ 2-0 on the betting card this... […]

On Saturday morning, the NASCAR Cup Series tried to hold the qualifying session for this weekend's race at Kansas Speedway, the Hollywood Casino 400. Unfortunately, for the second week in a row, Mother Nature had other plans and rain forced NASCAR to cancel both practice and qualifying. The starting lineup for this weekend's race was […]

Jordan and Nick discuss their DFS strategy and betting picks on the board for the upcoming Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway. Be […]

This weekend, the NASCAR Cup Series is at Bristol Motor Speedway, which means one thing: Kyle Larson is probably going to lead some laps. Over the last four races here, Larson has led a ridiculous 1,157 laps (out of a possible 2,005, equaling 57.7%), and that's even more impressive when you consider the fact that […]

Practice and qualifying was cancelled at Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend due to weather, which means the starting lineup for the Bass Pro Shops Night Race was set by the metric. And thanks to Ryan Blaney blowing a brake rotor at Gateway last weekend, that means he will be starting 29th for this race at […]

Look for Ty Gibbs to be a contender at Bristol Motor Speedway in this weekend's Bass Pro Shops Night Race. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver got his first career Cup Series victory here in the spring and has finished 10th or better in four of his last five starts at this track. The exception? A […]

One driver that you would think would be better at Bristol is Tyler Reddick. Over 10 career starts in Thunder Valley, Reddick has just two good finishes: a fourth-place result back in 2020, and another fourth-place finish earlier this season. All eight other finishes for Reddick at this race track are 12th or worse, with […]

It has been quite a while since we've talked about Carson Hocevar as a legitimate contender in a NASCAR Cup Series race, but the series is at Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend, so "The Hurricane" gets back into the discussion. In the first Bristol race this year, Hocevar had the third-best Total Speed Ranking in […]

Bristol with no weekend-relevant data, that's what we're stuck with this weekend. Practice and qualifying got cancelled once again thanks to lightning, which means the lineup is set by the metric and we have no practice data to go off. Thankfully, the Cup Series already ran here at "The Bullring" earlier this season, so we... […]

Well, Gateway ended up being a massive wildcard race for the Chase drivers last weekend, and now the NASCAR Cup Series heads to Bristol Motor Speedway for what could easily be another wildcard event. Bristol is another historic race track on the schedule. It's a half-mile bullring, and we've raced here once this season already,... […]

On Saturday evening, the NASCAR Cup Series tried to hold the qualifying session for this weekend's race at Bristol Motor Speedway, the Bass Pro Shops Night Race. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans and lightning strikes (and subsequent delays) forced NASCAR to cancel both practice and qualifying. The starting lineup for this weekend's race was […]

It's Bristol, Baby! We're on the annual night race in "Thunder Valley," with the Bass Pro Shops Night Race (Chase Race #3) set to take place from Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday night. Remember: betting lines for NASCAR can move very quickly, and value can disappear just as quickly! So you must get in while... […]

Jordan and Nick discuss their DFS strategy and betting picks on the board for the upcoming Bass Pro Shops Night Race at Bristol […]

Joey Logano will lead the Cup Series field to the green flag at Gateway on Sunday for the Enjoy Illinois 300, as the Team Penske driver put down an absolutely blistering lap during qualifying on Saturday. Logano's lap of 32.817 seconds was nearly three-tenths better than anyone else in the session, and it has to […]

All eyes were on the No. 12 Ford on Saturday at Gateway, as Ryan Blaney laid down the fastest lap in the practice session and also had the best 10-lap average. He ranked second-fastest in both 15- and 20-lap averages, while ranking first in 25-lap average. In other words, Blaney has a really good car […]

One driver that probably should have better results at Gateway than he does is Tyler Reddick. The 23XI Racing driver has qualified ninth or better in all four of his starts at this track, but he has just one finish better than 15th here in those four starts. Additionally, Reddick's best driver rating during a […]

William Byron isn't having a great summer. Over the last eight Cup Series races, the Hendrick Motorsports driver has managed just two top-10 finishes, and they were both mediocre ninth-place runs at Iowa and Richmond. His Chase started out with a dud at Darlington last weekend, too, as Byron blew an engine and finished 37th. […]

Josh Berry is on one heck of a run. Over the last six NASCAR Cup Series races, the Wood Brothers Racing driver hasn't finished worse than ninth, which is pretty incredible when you consider he has just two other top-10 finishes this season. Over those last six races, only one other driver in the garage […]

We're back at another flat track this weekend, as the NASCAR Cup Series visits Gateway for the first head-to-head week against NFL of 2026. Gateway (officially known as World Wide Technology Raceway) is a 1.25-mile oval in St. Louis that has one set of turns similar to New Hampshire and one set of turns similar... […]

The Chase started out with a bang last weekend at Darlington, as Christopher Bell took the win and points leader, Denny Hamlin, had a disappointing 18th-place finish. Now the Cup Series is on to World Wide Technology Raceway, otherwise known as Gateway. This is a relatively new track to the series, as there has only... […]

On Saturday afternoon, the NASCAR Cup Series held the qualifying session for this weekend's race at World Wide Technology Raceway, the Enjoy Illinois 300. Joey Logano put up an absolutely monstrous lap, going nearly three tenths of a second faster than everyone else to win the pole. The Chase drivers dominated the session and had […]

The NASCAR Cup Series ran a single practice session at World Wide Technology Raceway (Gateway) on Saturday afternoon in preparation for the upcoming Enjoy Illinois 300 on Sunday afternoon. The 36-car field all took the track for a combined 50-minute session, as NASCAR has officially moved to that being the protocol each week. Below you […]
