Kyle Larson a High-Risk, High-Reward Driver at Darlington

Kyle Larson has always been a high risk, high reward driver. However, that has never been more apparent than at Darlington Raceway, where "Yung Money" has notched six podium finishes (including one win) in 16 career starts. Larson has also led more laps (1,050) than any other active driver at this track. However, as mentioned […]

Ryan Blaney Is Getting Better at Darlington

Historically, Darlington Raceway has been a weak spot on the schedule for Ryan Blaney. Over 18 career starts at "The Lady in Black," Blaney has a middle-of-the-road average finish (18.7) and just four top-10 finishes. And despite all that time on track, Blaney has only led 24 laps in his career at this track. With […]

Bubba Wallace Not Slowing Down at Darlington

It has been a blazing-hot start to the 2026 season for Bubba Wallace, as the 23XI Racing driver sits second in the points standings after five races, thanks in part to a series-leading 53 stage points amassed. And the hot streak looks to continue this weekend at Darlington, as Bubba not only announced the birth […]

Chris Buescher Should be a Top-10 Contender at Darlington

Keep an eye on Chris Buescher this weekend at Darlington Raceway. The Roush-Fenway Keselowski Racing driver was a contender for the win here back in 2024, and over the the last six races at this track, Buescher has walked away with a top-10 finish five times. This weekend, the No. 17 Ford has been solid […]

Austin Cindric a Sleeper at Darlington

Don't sleep on Austin Cindric for Sunday's Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. Although he's definitely not the first driver to come to mind when the Cup Series visits "The Track Too Tough To Tame," Cindric has been pretty decent here (for his standards) over his career, including three straight finishes between 11th and 13th over […]

Erik Jones Quickest in Practice at Darlington

It shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone to see Erik Jones' name at the top of the speed chart in practice on Saturday at Darlington Raceway. "The Lady in Black" is one of the best tracks on the schedule for Jones, as he is a two-time winner there and has one of the best […]

In practice on Saturday, Christopher Bell was the quickest, and then […]

Denny Hamlin Should Contend for Another Vegas Win

Don't be surprised if Denny Hamlin contends for another win at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver is a two-time winner in Sin City, and is also the most recent winner, as the No. 11 Toyota went to victory lane last October despite only leading nine laps after starting on […]

Chase Briscoe Qualifies 18th Despite Toyota Dominating at Las Vegas

One of the surprises in qualifying at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend was Chase Briscoe, who was one of the best at getting a good starting spot in the Cup Series last season. However, Briscoe disappointed a bit this weekend, and he will start back in 18th for Sunday afternoon's Pennzoil 400. What made […]

Chase Elliott May Fly Under the Radar at Las Vegas

It's rare to use the phrase "flying under the radar" in the same sentence as Chase Elliott, but here we are. With so many eyes on the favorites (like Kyle Larson) and the Toyotas at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend, paired with the fact that Chase Elliott wasn't overly fast in practice and qualified […]

Ross Chastian Has Been As Solid As They Come at Las Vegas

In the Next Gen era, very few drivers have been as consistent as Ross Chastain at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. In the eight races at this track with this car, Chastain has posted five top-five finishes and has just one result worse than 12th. It's safe to say that the track style of Las Vegas […]

Could Ty Gibbs Finally Break Through With a Win at Las Vegas?

In addition to qualifying third for this […]

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. In the two races here last season, Berry walked away with fourth- and seventh-place finishes, and when you look over at New Hampshire (a very comparable race track), he has a pair of podium […]

Tyler Reddick Spins in Practice at Phoenix

Tyler Reddick spun his No. 45 Toyota in practice at Phoenix Raceway on Saturday afternoon, although it's important to note that the 23XI Racing driver didn't hit anything when doing so.

William Byron Should Be a Contender at Phoenix

Don't be surprised if William Byron is a contender in Sunday afternoon's Straight Talk Wireless 500, as the Hendrick Motorsports driver has been a constant threat at Phoenix Raceway in the Next Gen era.

Kyle Larson Is Always a Threat at Phoenix

Don't overlook Kyle Larson in this weekend's Straight Talk Wireless 500. 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. Now, Larson only has one win here: a victory back in the 2021 Championship race, but […]
