Ross Chastain's Aggressiveness Could Pay Dividends at Daytona

Ross Chastain is known for his aggressiveness on the race track, and while that can create problems at superspeedway racetracks such as Daytona and Talladega due to their high propensity for big, multi-car wrecks, that is also the kind of driving style that can get a driver to victory lane. Chastain won at Talladega in […]

Kyle Larson Searching for First-Ever Top 5 in Daytona 500

On Monday afternoon, Kyle Larson will be making his 11th Daytona 500 attempt. In the previous ten, the results haven't been that great.

Avoid Michael McDowell in DFS for Daytona

Michael McDowell has been a fun underdog story to root for at Daytona ever since he won The Great American Race back in 2021. It was even exciting to see him nearly win the pole for this year's Daytona 500 earlier this week, coming in second-fastest behind Joey Logano on Wednesday. But a fun underdog […]

Jimmie Johnson Sneaks Into Daytona 500 Field Despite Wreck

During the Duel race on Thursday night, it looked as though Jimmie Johnson was going to miss the Daytona 500 race. You see, Johnson had to race his way in, as his No. 84 Toyota was not locked in to the show, and an early wreck hurt his chances of finishing ahead of the other […]

Ryan Preece Approaching Daytona The Same Despite Wreck

Last summer, Ryan Preece had one of the scariest crashes happen in recent memory at Daytona International Speedway.

Anthony Alfredo Wants to Compete in Daytona 500

Anthony Alfredo will be making his second-ever attempt at the Daytona 500 on Monday afternoon, as he will pilot the No. 62 Chevrolet for Beard Motorsports.

Chase Briscoe an 'Under the Radar' Fantasy Pick for Daytona 500

Chase Briscoe currently has three straight finishes of 30th or worse at Daytona International Speedway, but that doesn't mean you should stay away from picking him in this year's Daytona 500.

Martin Truex Jr. A Good Pick For Daytona 500 Despite Poor History

Even though his track record isn't great, Martin Truex Jr. is one driver to keep an eye on during the Daytona 500.

Joey Logano Not A Good DFS Play For Daytona 500
