Alex Bowman a Tournament DFS Option at Talladega

Don't be afraid to roll the dice with Alex Bowman in your DFS contests this weekend. The Hendrick Motorsports driver has posted top-10 finishes in four of his last eleven starts at this track along with 13th- and 14th-place finishes during that same span. He will roll off the grid from 12th in this weekend's […]

Chris Buescher Could Contend at Talladega This Weekend

Look for Chris Buescher to potentially be a factor in the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway this weekend. He ended up with a third-place result in this race last season and has finished sixth or better in three of the last eight races at this track. Additionally, Buescher's No. 17 Ford has been strong at […]

Chase Elliott Always Strong at Daytona

Last week's NASCAR Cup Series race winner, Chase Elliott, is looking to go back-to-back this weekend in the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway--and it wouldn't be surprising if NASCAR's most popular driver pulled it off. Chase is a two-time winner at Talladega (2019 and 2022) and has finished seventh or better in three of the […]

Ryan Blaney One of the Favorites to Win at Talladega

Sportsbooks have pegged Ryan Blaney as one of the favorites to win the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway this weekend, and for good reason: last year's Cup Series Champion has finished first or second in each of the last three races at this track and has led a total of 283 laps in his career […]

Chase Briscoe Looking to Continue Momentum at Talladega

Chase Briscoe believes that his No. 14 Stewart-Haas Racing team is further ahead and they've ever been, and the results point to that being true. Coming off the worst season of his career in 2023, Briscoe currently sits 12th in the points standings with an average finish of 14.6 through the first nine races. For […]

Kyle Busch Could Win at Talladega, But He's a Very Risky DFS Play

Kyle Busch could definitely contend for the win in this weekend's GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, but that doesn't make him a slam-dunk DFS play. Rowdy qualified fourth for this weekend's race at 'Dega, and while he did win this event one year ago (in addition to finish third the year prior), Busch will likely […]

Corey Lajoie Has Upside at Talladega This Weekend

Corey Lajoie has cemented himself as one of the better superspeedway racers in the NASCAR Cup Series, which means you often have to look his way when the series stops at Daytona or Talladega. And that's exactly the case this weekend with the GEICO 500. Lajoie qualified 31st for this weekend's race, and at just […]

All other NASCAR Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. We're on to Talladega for the third superspeedway race of the season in the GEICO 500. These are typically the races where I go lighter on the betting side of things and heavier on the DFS side of things, but if there is […]

Anthony Alfredo A Great DFS Sleeper Option At Talladega

Beard Motorsports doesn't race many events in the NASCAR Cup Series, so seeing the No. 62 Chevrolet on the track this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway may seem unfamiliar, but don't count out Anthony Alfredo from getting a good finish in the GEICO 500. Alfredo actually has a solid track record here at Talladega, as posted […]

Todd Gilliland Qualifies A Career-Best Third For Talladega Race

Front Row Motorsports showed up with speed this weekend at Talladega Superspeedway, as Michael McDowell qualified on the pole for this weekend's GEICO 500 while Todd Gilliland ended up third-fastest. But will they race well? Gilliland has shown prowess on the superspeedways this season, leading 16 laps in the season-opening Daytona 500 and then leading […]

Austin Cindric Is Unplayable In DFS This Weekend At Talladega

Austin Cindric qualified on the front row for this weekend's GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway, and this should cause DFS players to immediately remove him from their player pool. While Cindric does have a superspeedway victory to his credit (he won the 2022 Daytona 500), his starting position this weekend makes him unplayable in DFS […]

Talladega NASCAR Qualifying Results and Starting Lineup

On Saturday morning, the NASCAR Cup Series held the qualifying session for this weekend's GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. This qualifying session consisted of two rounds. This weekend's qualifying session was a little different than what we're used to. Drivers were not split into their normal groups, but instead all of them made one qualifying […]

Kyle Larson A Chalk DFS Play After Not Qualifying At Talladega

On Saturday at Talladega Superspeedway, while Kyle Larson's No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet was being pushed on to pit lane to prepare for his qualifying lap, NASCAR noticed something they didn't like with the race car. Particularly the roof rails. After further evaluation, NASCAR determined that an unapproved adjustment was made on the roof rails […]

Chase Elliott Emerges Victorious in Texas Race Riddled with Cautions

Someone had to win the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon, and that driver was Chase Elliott, who snapped his 41-race winless streak by doing so. There were 16 cautions for 72 laps during the event along with 23 lead changes among 13 drivers, making it one of the most […]

William Byron Finishes Third at Texas After Wrecking Ross Chastain

William Byron's strong 2024 season continues, as the Hendrick Motorsports driver walked away from the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 with a third-place finish--but it didn't come without some controversy. Byron made contact with fellow Chevy racer Ross Chastain on the final lap while battling for the runner-up position. This contact allowed Brad Keselowski to swoop […]

Ross Chastain Gets Wrecked on Final Lap at Texas While Battling for the Lead

Usually it's Ross Chastain that is the one that is the aggressor late in races. Well, at the end of this weekend's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 at Texas Motor Speedway, Chastain got a bit of his own medicine, as an incident with William Byron relegated Ross to a 32nd-place finish after he was poised to […]

Kyle Larson Sees Dominant Day Slip Away at Texas Due To Loose Wheel

Kyle Larson had the dominant race car at Texas Motor Speedway this past weekend, but you wouldn't really know by looking at the finishing order. By the end of the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400, Larson was credited with a 21st-place finish and earned just 26 points. This is because Larson's right rear tire fell off […]

Texas NASCAR Green Flag Speed Rankings (Post-Race Analysis)

The NASCAR Cup Series ran the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 at Texas Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon, with Chase Elliott getting yet another win for Hendrick Motorsports this season. That organization has now won five of the first nine races. When it came to Green Flag Speed, Tyler Reddick ranked best in that category followed […]

Texas NASCAR Average Running Position Rankings (Post-Race Analysis)

The NASCAR Cup Series ran the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 this past Sunday afternoon at Texas Motor Speedway with Chase Elliott breaking his winless streak and getting to victory lane for the first time since the 2022 season. Tyler Reddick, who finished fourth, had the best Average Running Position (6.46) while race-winner, Elliott, came home […]

Kyle Larson the Favorite to Dominate at Texas

The road to victory lane at Texas Motor Speedway will likely go through Kyle Larson this weekend. The Hendrick Motorsports driver was super fast in practice, posting the second-best ten-lap average, and then went out and qualified on the pole for this weekend's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400. The last time he started on the front […]

Tyler Reddick Has Very High DFS Upside at Texas

Tyler Reddick should be one of the contenders in this weekend's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 at Texas Motor Speedway. He won the 2022 race here and led 36 in laps in last year's event but finished 25th after being burned by a caution in the middle of the pit cycle. At Las Vegas earlier this […]

Bubba Wallace a Top 10 Threat at Texas

Bubba Wallace qualified his No. 23 Toyota in 10th-place for this weekend's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 and he should be a top-10 contender when the checkered flag waves as well. Looking back at all of the races on 1.5-mile tracks since the start of the 2023 season, Bubba has the 12th-best average running position on […]

Daniel Suarez a Value DFS Pick at Texas

Daniel Suarez isn't one of those drivers that you constantly point to when the NASCAR Cup Series is at an intermediate race track, but the Trackhouse Racing driver seems to have something figured out at Texas Motor Speedway, so you should definitely consider him for this weekend's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400. Over the last three […]

Brad Keselowski Has Been Great at Texas Lately, But Concern This Weekend

Brad Keselowski has been one of the best drivers at Texas Motor Speedway as of late. Over the last five races in the Lone Star State, BK has posted finishes of ninth or better in every single one of them, including seventh- and eighth-place finishes in the last two with the NextGen car. However, with […]

Erik Jones Has Huge DFS Upside at Texas This Weekend

Don't sleep on Erik Jones in this weekend's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend. The Legacy Motor Club driver qualified back in 27th for this weekend's race, and although the No. 43 team wasn't able to find a ton of speed in practice or qualifying, this track type is a good […]

Chase Briscoe Should Be Avoided in DFS at Texas

Chase Briscoe was one of the surprising names near the top of the speed chart during qualifying at Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday afternoon, as the Stewart-Haas Racing driver made it to the final round and will roll off the grid from fifth when the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 goes green on Sunday afternoon. However, […]
