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... […]

The NASCAR Cup Series has reached the end of the regular season, as race number 26 is set to take place from Daytona International Speedway on Saturday night. After this, the Chase field will be set, and we'll have ten races left to determine this year's Champion. Daytona International Speedway needs no introduction. This race... […]

On Friday evening, the NASCAR Cup Series held the qualifying session for this weekend's race at Daytona International Speedway, the Coke Zero Sugar 400. NASCAR went with the two-round format for this qualifying session, as all drivers went out to complete a lap, and then the 10 fastest went out in round two to set […]

Sometimes betting just goes like that. Our 50/1 race winner bet at New Hampshire finished second, while our top-five finisher bet finished sixth. Frustrating, but we move on to Daytona this weekend. Remember: betting lines for NASCAR can move very quickly, and value can disappear just as quickly! So you must get in while you... […]

Jordan and Nick discuss their DFS strategy and betting picks on the board for the upcoming Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International […]

Ryan Blaney won the Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway last season, and sportsbooks are thinking he will do it again this year. Blaney is the favorite among all major books to win this weekend's Dollar Tree 301, and for good reason: the No. 12 Ford was the best long-run car in practice […]

We're at a short, flat track this weekend, so that means Christopher Bell needs to be on your radar. Looking at his six starts here in the Cup Series, CBell has won twice already at this track and has another second-place finish on his resume as well. This weekend, he's looked strong from the start, […]

Penciling Denny Hamlin in for a single-digit finish is pretty easy these days. Through 24 races this season, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has posted 16 top-10 finishes, and 14 of those were also top-five results. He is currently on a four-race streak of top-fives, and there is no reason to think that he won't […]

Don't count out Ty Gibbs in the Dollar Tree 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has been great on the short, flat tracks this season and recently went to victory lane at Iowa (another short, flat track) a couple of weeks ago. This weekend at New Hampshire, Gibbs […]

The NASCAR Cup Series is at another short, flat track this weekend, which means Joey Logano should be in the running for the victory. He's fresh off of a win at Richmond last weekend, and we just saw the No. 22 go to victory lane at North Wilkesboro a month ago as well. Now we're […]

Don't be surprised if Chase Briscoe clicks off another good finish at New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend. With his second-place finish at Richmond last weekend, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has now finished sixth or better in six of the last seven races, and it wouldn't be surprising if he made it seven of […]

It has now been six straight races without a top-five finish for Kyle Larson, as the last time he cracked that mark was at Sonoma back in June. He got close at Richmond last weekend, though, coming home sixth despite starting back in 30th. Can he find the top five again here at New Hampshire […]

William Byron and the No. 24 team are starting to find their groove again. They haven't come out with race-winning speed in quite a while, but after his ninth-place run at Richmond last weekend, Byron has back-to-back top-10 finishes for the first time since March of this year. Can he make it three in a […]

In a bit of a surprising turn of events, Tyler Reddick won the pole for this weekend's Dollar Tree 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. In practice on Saturday morning, Reddick's No 45 Toyota was not fast at all, ranking 31st-fastest out of 36 cars on the overall speed chart. In an interview afterward, Reddick […]

It seems to be a recurring theme as of late, as Chase Elliott has once again struggled to find speed this weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The No. 9 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports was able to post the eighth-fastest lap in practice on Saturday morning, but when it came to actual long-run race speed, […]

Josh Berry has suddenly become an every-week name as of late, as the Wood Brothers Racing driver is on quite a hot streak, with three straight finishes of eighth or better (compared to his season average finish of 24.8). Can it continue this weekend, though? The signs point to yes. In addition to having one […]

It's setting up to be a good DFS scoring weekend for Bubba Wallace. The 23XI Racing driver had a great practice session on Saturday morning, ranking second-fastest in both 25- and 30-lap average, but he didn't have the best qualifying run later that day and will start from back in 23rd-place for Sunday's Dollar Tree […]

For the third time in four races, Austin Cindric has some work to do after qualifying this weekend. The No. 2 Ford ended up 26th-fastest on the qualifying speed chart on Saturday afternoon, which means Cindric will start from row 13 when the Dollar Tree 301 goes green. That was a disappointing run considering the […]
