Josh Berry Should Be Avoided At Watkins Glen This Weekend
Some drivers simply aren't very good at road-course racing, and that seems to be the case with Stewart-Haas Racing driver Josh Berry. One could argue that nobody has been worse at the road courses this season than Berry. He has walked away with finishes of 32nd or worse in all three races and he has […]

Daniel Suarez Nearly Sweeps Atlanta, Finishes Second On Sunday
There's just something about the "new" Atlanta race track that fits Daniel Suarez well. Since the track was repaved and reconfigured in 2021, Suarez has finished sixth or better in five of the six races, including a pair of second-place results as well as a win over the last three.

Bad Luck Continues For Martin Truex Jr. At Atlanta

When it came to Denny Hamlin and the No. 11 team's in-race strategy at Atlanta this past weekend, it left many people scratching their heads.

Chase Elliott Should Be Strong at Atlanta
Look for Chase Elliott to be strong in Sunday afternoon's Quaker State 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Since the track was repaved and reconfigured prior to the 2022 season, Elliott has the third-best average running position at Atlanta while grabbing one win and no result worse than 15th in his four starts at the track.

Corey Lajoie One of the Highest-Scoring Drivers at Superspeedways
"Potential" has always been a good word to describe Corey Lajoie when it comes to superspeedway racing. Believe it or not, the Spire Motorsports driver has been one of the highest-scoring DFS drivers on this track type over the last few years. That often comes down to Lajoie's ability to avoid wrecks and survive the […]

Ryan Blaney a Risky DFS Pick at Atlanta
Ryan Blaney is likely to be a relatively popular DFS pick at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend, but it doesn't come without some risk. The Team Penske driver qualified second for this weekend's Quaker State 400, and while that is typically a good thing for most races, that's not really the case at superspeedways such […]

Austin Cindric Could Actually Contend at Atlanta
It's not very often that we consider Austin Cindric as a legitimate threat to win a NASCAR Cup Series race, but when the series stops at a superspeedway track, the Team Penske driver has to enter the conversation. Cindric is one of the top drivers in the series when it comes to drafting tracks, and […]

Justin Haley Deserves Consideration at Atlanta
Don't overlook Justin Haley at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend. Since this track was repaved and reconfigured before the start of the 2022 season, Haley ranks 15th-best in average running position over the five races on the new surface, and in three of those five races he has finished 11th or better. His worst result […]

Denny Hamlin the Obvious DFS Pick at Atlanta
When it comes to making DFS picks at superspeedway tracks, Place Differential is always the most important thing to pay attention to. Therefore, Denny Hamlin is going to be the highest-owned driver for the Quaker State 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Hamlin's No. 11 Toyota had drivetrain issues during qualifying on Saturday, and because of […]

Don't Count Out John Hunter Nemechek at Atlanta
John Hunter Nemechek hasn't been anywhere near good this season, but you can't count him out at superspeedway races.

This weekend, […]

Daniel Suarez Has a Strong Track Record at Atlanta
When it comes to superspeedway racing, track record really doesn't mean a whole lot. However, Atlanta Motor Speedway isn't your "typical superspeedway" like Daytona and Talladega are.

B.J. McLeod Not an Awful Place Differential Option at Atlanta
B.J. McLeod probably isn't going to challenge for the race win at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend, but that doesn't mean you should avoid him entirely in DFS contests. McLeod qualified 36th for this weekend's Quaker State 400 race, which gives him great Place Differential upside in a race that could see plenty of attrition. […]

Cody Ware Has Playability at Atlanta
Typically, Cody Ware isn't thought of as a very good DFS pick, but when the NASCAR Cup Series travels to a superspeedway track, you have to throw conventional wisdom out the window. The draft is a great equalizer in racing, and Ware has shown the ability to avoid wrecks at superspeedways. Just a couple of […]
