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 […]

We head to another flat track this weekend in World Wide Technology Raceway (otherwise known as Gateway) for the Enjoy Illinois 300. Remember: betting lines for NASCAR can move very quickly, and value can disappear just as quickly! So you must get in while you can with some of these bets. Make sure to follow... […]

Lead RotoBaller NASCAR analyst Jordan McAbee is joined by co-host Nick Giffen in an all-new episode of Stacking Dennys - one of the top podcasts in the NASCAR betting and DFS industry. Jordan and Nick discuss their DFS strategy and betting picks on the board for the upcoming Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology […]

Tyler Reddick is on the pole at Darlington Raceway once again, as the 23XI Racing driver was awarded the top starting spot via the metric when qualifying was cancelled due to weather on Saturday afternoon. Reddick is the defending winner here at Darlington, as he won from the pole in the spring race this season, […]

Keep an eye on Chase Briscoe this weekend in the Cook Out Southern 500. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver is the defending winner of this race, doing so in dominating fashion last season, leading 309 laps and sweeping the Stages along the way. Briscoe also won the 2024 Southern 500 in a memorable late battle […]

One driver who has a very confusing record at Darlington Raceway is Christopher Bell. One would think that a Joe Gibbs Racing driver would be elite at a track like Darlington, but that simply hasn't been the case for CBell. In the 11 starts with JGR at this race track, Bell has led a combined […]

Bubba Wallace, like many other drivers, has a very up-and-down history at Darlington Raceway. The 23XI Racing driver has made 16 career starts at the track, with 11 of those happening with his current team. In those 11 races, Bubba has posted five finishes between fifth- and ninth-place. The other six races? All 21st-place or […]

Thanks to practice and qualifying being cancelled on Saturday, Carson Hocevar will start from back in 34th place for Sunday evening's Cook Out Southern 500. And while this is a bit of a disadvantage for the Spire Motorsports driver, it is good for his DFS ownership, as Hocevar now has massive Place Differential upside for […]

Every time the NASCAR Cup Series heads to Darlington Raceway, Erik Jones has to be mentioned. This is arguably his best track on the schedule, and he's a two-time winner at "The Lady in Black." His career average finish of 12.6 is fourth-best among active drivers, and over the last two races here with Legacy […]

The Cook Out Southern 500 is set to take place this weekend from Darlington Raceway, one of the most storied races and tracks in NASCAR history. Darlington is a unique track in that it has two very distinct corners within its 1.366-mile egg-shape. The race track itself is also super abrasive, which causes massive tire... […]

The 2026 NASCAR Cup Series Chase for the Championship kicks off this weekend with the Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. This race is a grueling one for the drivers, as it is not only 500 miles in length, but it's at Darlington--one of the most difficult tracks on the schedule. Tire wear is... […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr gets it done for us at Daytona and another profitable week on the betting card! We're now +22.87 units on the season heading into Sunday evening's Cook Out Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway. Remember: betting lines for NASCAR can move very quickly, and value can disappear just as quickly! So you must... […]

On Saturday evening, the NASCAR Cup Series held the qualifying session for this weekend's race at Darlington Raceway, the Cook Out Southern 500. 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 set by the metric. […]

Lead RotoBaller NASCAR analyst Jordan McAbee is joined by co-host Nick Giffen in an all-new episode of Stacking Dennys - one of the top podcasts in the NASCAR betting and DFS industry. Jordan and Nick discuss their DFS strategy and betting picks on the board for the upcoming Cook Out Southern 400 at Darlington Raceway. […]

It's going to be easy to overlook William Byron in DFS this weekend, but make sure you don't. On the driver list, Byron ($10.4K salary) is sandwiched between heavy-hitters, Ryan Blaney and Christopher Bell, which is going to lower Byron's ownership on the slate already. Add in the fact that Byron qualified 13th for this […]

Christopher Bell qualified 35th for this weekend's Coke Zero Sugar 400, which means he's going to be a prime target for many DFS managers on Saturday night. Place differential means everything for the daily fantasy contests at a track like Daytona, and Bell is in top-tier equipment while starting near the back of the field. […]

Joey Logano's season continued on the up-and-up at New Hampshire last weekend, as the Team Penske driver posted his seventh straight top-15 finish with a 14th-place effort at "The Magic Mile." Logano has now climbed all the way up to ninth in the points standings as the Chase is set to start in one week. […]

Denny Hamlin used to be one of the most feared drivers on superspeedways, especially at Daytona International Speedway. He's a three-time Daytona 500 winner and has posted 11 top-five finishes in 41 career starts at this track. But ever since the introduction of the NextGen car, Hamlin seems to have lost his edge. Over the […]

It's Coke Zero Sugar 400 weekend at Daytona International Speedway, which means fantasy players and bettors alike will be targeting Ricky Stenhouse Jr. much more than usual. That should be the case this weekend as well, especially in DFS. Stenhouse qualified back in 32nd-place for this weekend's race, which gives him massive Place Differential upside […]

Saturday night's Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway is a big one for Shane van Gisbergen. Heading into the race, the Trackhouse Racing driver has a 31-point advantage over Ryan Preece for the final spot in this year's Chase, and with how unpredictable Daytona can be, nothing is guaranteed. SVG got off to […]

Ross Chastain won the pole for this weekend's Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway, and for most race weekends, that would be a good thing in DFS. However, Daytona isn't like most races. The pole sitter at Daytona is actually at quite a major disadvantage in daily fantasy games, as the potential for […]

It's time to have another fun week in DFS! Well, fun and/or frustrating. We're back at Daytona International Speedway for the Coke Zero Sugar 400 on Saturday night. As is always the case at Daytona, the strategy is more important than the drivers when building lineups. More on that later. We're focusing on Place Differential... […]
