Brad Keselowski a Solid DFS Pick at Las Vegas

All signs are pointing to Brad Keselowski being a great DFS pick on Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Although two of the three Roush-Fenway Keselowski Racing Fords were solid in qualifying on Saturday, Keselowski brought up the rear for the trio and will start back in 28th-place for the Pennzoil 400. That gives Brad […]

Ross Chastain Has Found Speed Again at Phoenix

In the early days of the Next Gen car, Ross Chastain was one of the best at Phoenix Raceway. He posted a pair of podium finishes here in 2022, and then went on to win the Championship race here in 2023. Since then, though, Ross has taken a step back on speed, as his driver […]

Josh Berry a Solid Sleeper at Phoenix

Josh Berry is an ace at racing short, flat tracks, and that should be on display this weekend at Phoenix Raceway.

The Hendrick Motorsports driver qualified on the outside pole for Sunday's race, and has finished fourth or better in five of the last six races at Phoenix Raceway.

AJ Allmendinger Could Contend at COTA

Despite AJ Allmendinger's poor track record at Circuit of the Americas (three finishes of 30th or worse over the last four races), he's actually one of the best here, and at road courses in general. In the two starts at COTA where he hasn't had issues, Allmendinger has walked away with sixth- and fifth-place finishes, […]

Chris Buescher Is Nothing But Consistent at Road Courses

If there's one thing you can count on at road courses, it's a good finish from Chris Buescher.
