Denny Hamlin Puts DFS Managers in Tough Spot for Michigan

Denny Hamlin won the pole for this weekend's FireKeepers Casino 400 at Michigan International Speedway, but due to damage to his car's underbody during practice, Hamlin will have to start the race from the rear of the field on Sunday.

Can Chase Elliott Get Back to His Old Ways at Michigan?

Chase Elliott used to be the man at Michigan International Speedway.

His No. 17 Ford has shown good speed on the intermediate tracks […]

Carson Hocevar Qualifies Second, Seeking Redemption at Michigan

Last year at Michigan International Speedway, Carson Hocevar looked well on his way to grabbing his first Cup Series win, but the universe had other plans. A flat tire doomed the No. 77 Chevrolet and Hocevar was relegated to a 29th-place finish on the day. Still, though, the Spire Motorsports car had enough speed to […]

Can DFS Managers Trust Ross Chastain at Michigan?

Brad Keselowski Has Been Solid at Michigan

Michigan International Speedway is Brad Keselowski's home track, and although he has never gotten a win in the Irish Hills, his track record is quite impressive.

Could Denny Hamlin Dominate at Nashville?

Denny Hamlin was the early week favorite to win this weekend's Cracker Barrel 400 at Nashville Superspeedway, and nothing changed after practice on Saturday, as all sportsbooks still point to the No. 11 Toyota as the one to beat this weekend.

Ryan Blaney Is a DFS Tournament Option at Nashville

While most DFS players will be (rightfully) eyeing the Toyotas for Sunday evening's Cracker Barrel 400, those looking to be contrarian shouldn't forget about Ryan Blaney.

Don't Overlook Ty Gibbs at Nashville

Ty Gibbs' track record at Nashville Superspeedway isn't the best (no finish better than 14th), but that doesn't mean you should avoid the Joe Gibbs Racing driver in this weekend's Cracker Barrel 400.

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 […]

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.

That means that Heim is the safest DFS pick on the slate, as […]
