Denny Hamlin the Favorite to Win at Charlotte

Denny Hamlin is the favorite to win this year's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and that shouldn't be too surprising for any NASCAR fan. The No. 11 Toyota has been the strongest car on 1.5-mile tracks this season, and it hasn't really been that close. Hamlin has also been strong here at Charlotte, with […]

Tyler Reddick on Pole for Coca-Cola 600

Christopher Bell Could Break Out of Slump

Chase Elliott Should Be Strong at Charlotte

Chase Elliott has been strong on the high-speed 1.5-mile tracks in 2026, so there's no reason to think he won't contend at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the Coca-Cola 600. Now, Chase will start from back in 16th-place when the race goes green, but passing cars has been no problem for the Hendrick Motorsports driver this […]

Carson Hocevar Confident for Coca-Cola 600

Don't count out Carson Hocevar in the Coca-Cola 600 this weekend. Remember, Hocevar blew an engine in last year's race while contending for the lead, and the No. 77 Chevrolet might be a little bit better this time around. After practice on Saturday, Hocevar stated, "I felt like we were pretty fast. I feel like […]

Corey Heim a Chalk DFS Pick at Charlotte

Corey Heim will rightfully be a popular DFS pick for the Coca-Cola 600 this weekend. Thanks to qualifying being rained out and the starting lineup being set by the metric, Heim will start from dead last (39th) in this year's Coca-Cola 600. That means that Heim is the safest DFS pick on the slate, as […]

After signing a contract extension with Team Penske, it's time to keep an eye on Ryan Blaney this weekend.

Additionally, the […]

Is Carson Hocevar Too Aggressive for Road-Course Racing?

Carson Hocevar has been on quite a hot streak in Cup Series action as of late, getting a win at Talladega a couple of weeks ago while also posting four top-10 finishes over the last six races overall. This weekend will be good test for the No. 77 team and their momentum, though, as the […]
