Tyler Reddick Should Contend at Gateway

Don't be surprised if Tyler Reddick is a factor for the win in this weekend's Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway (otherwise known as Gateway). Reddick had one of the best cars at Phoenix earlier this season, which is a similar track type to Gateway. With that being said, Reddick hasn't had great […]

Martin Truex Jr Must Overcome Poor Qualifying Effort at Gateway

Martin Truex Jr is one of the top drivers when it comes to short, flat tracks, but he's going to have some work to do this weekend at Gateway if he's going to end up at or near the front when the checkered flag waves. Truex qualified back in 19th for this weekend's Enjoy Illinois […]

Bubba Wallace Has Potential at Gateway Despite Poor Track Record

When you look at Bubba Wallace's track record at Gateway, there's not much to like. He finished 30th here last season, which followed up a 26th-place effort in the first Cup Series race here back in 2022. However, Bubba hasn't been as bad as the numbers say. In last year's race, the No. 23 Toyota […]

Michael McDowell Wins Pole at Gateway; Now a Pivotal Decision in DFS

Michael McDowell is on the pole for the Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway (otherwise known as Gateway) this weekend.

Now DFS players […]

Justin Haley a Deep Sleeper Pick at Gateway

Don't sleep on Justin Haley at Gateway this weekend. The Rick Ware Racing driver is on a hot streak of sorts as of late, with finishes of 22nd, ninth, 18th, and 23rd over the last four Cup Series races. That is a major improvement for this Rick Ware Racing team that has been a constant […]

Todd Gilliland Has Huge Place Differential Upside at Gateway

Another race, another opportunity for Todd Gilliland to put up a massive Place Differential total on DFS sites. The Front Row Motorsports driver qualified 35th out of 36 cars for this weekend's Enjoy Illinois 300, which was a bit surprising considering his teammate, Michael McDowell, was the fastest in qualifying and will start from the […]

Austin Cindric Qualifies Second at Gateway, Now a Risky DFS Pick

The NASCAR Cup Series ran the Coca-Cola 600 this past Sunday evening at Charlotte Motor Speedway, one of the Crown Jewel races of the season.

The NASCAR Cup Series ran the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday evening, with Christopher Bell being declared the winner after a controversial decision to end the race early due to rain.

Christopher Bell Gets Booed After Winning Rain-Shortened Coca-Cola 600

Christopher Bell was declared the 2024 Coca-Cola 600 race winner on Sunday evening at Charlotte Motor Speedway, but fans weren't too happy about it. NASCAR decided to call the race because of rain after just 249 of the scheduled 400 laps were ran. Fans were not pleased with that decision, and took it out on […]

Brad Keselowski Finishes Second At Charlotte

Brad Keselowski finished second in this year's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, which was impressive considering he qualified back in 30th for it.

The Indianapolis 500 is currently under rain delay, but it looks likely that the race will get started around 4:30 pm ET. It has been announced that NASCAR Cup Series star, Kyle Larson, will be staying in Indianapolis to run the Indianapolis 500 and will likely miss the start of the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte […]

William Byron a Strong Contender for the Coca-Cola 600

William Byron should be a contender in this weekend's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The Hendrick Motorsports driver looked very fast in practice here on Saturday before spinning out, and he didn't get any damage when he wrecked so that's a good thing. Byron also went on to qualify second, so he has a […]

Martin Truex Jr Looking for First Win of the Season at Charlotte

We're 13 races into the 2024 season and Martin Truex Jr is still winless despite being one of the fastest cars all year long. Will that change this weekend at Charlotte? Nighttime is when Truex tends to be the fastest, and the ending of this weekend's Coca-Cola 600 race will be at night. Truex qualified […]

Denny Hamlin Should Contend for Coca-Cola 600 Win

Denny Hamlin should be a contender for the win at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has been the fastest on the 1.5-mile intermediates this season, walking away with an eighth-place finish at Las Vegas and a fifth-place finish at Kansas. At Charlotte specifically, Hamlin won from the pole here back […]

Ryan Blaney a Strong DFS Play at Charlotte

Despite being the third-highest-priced driver on the DraftKings slate this weekend, Ryan Blaney ($10,300) is a strong option on the DFS platform. He qualified back in 16th for this weekend's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, which gives the defending series Champion good Place Differential upside. Blaney is also the defending winner of this race, […]

Kyle Busch a Value DFS Play at Charlotte

Kyle Busch will likely be a popular DFS pick for this evening's Coca-Cola 600, and for good reason. Rowdy has finished sixth or better in six of his last seven starts at Charlotte Motor Speedway and the No. 8 Chevrolet has been one of the fastest on the low-wear, 1.5-mile tracks this season. Additionally, over […]

Noah Gragson Should Be Better Than Record at Charlotte

Noah Gragson has two career NASCAR Cup Series starts at Charlotte Motor Speedway, and neither of them have been that great.

Chase Briscoe Likely Looking at a Mediocre Run at Charlotte

Don't expect a lot out of Chase Briscoe in this weekend's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Chase did post a fourth-place finish […]

Don't Be Afraid to Roll the Dice with Ricky Stenhouse Jr at Charlotte
