J.J. Yeley A Deep Fantasy Sleeper At Nashville

J.J. Yeley will be making his 12th start of the season this weekend in the Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway, and he could be a very deep fantasy sleeper option.

Ross Chastain Has Huge Advantage At Nashville

Ross Chastain earned his first career pole this weekend, with a blazing fast lap in qualifying on Saturday at Nashville Superspeedway.

Ryan Preece Optimistic For First Top 10 Finish At Nashville

The NASCAR Cup Series is heading into the 17th race of the season tonight at Nashville Superspeedway, and Ryan Preece has yet to finish better than 12th-place this year.

Daniel Suarez To Race Backup Car At Nashville; Will Start In Rear

The official starting lineup for the Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway shows Daniel Suarez in 10th, but that's not where he will actually start in Sunday's race. During the final round of qualifying on Saturday, Suarez spun his #99 Chevrolet around and clipped the wall, sustaining enough damage that the team decided to pull out […]

Corey Lajoie Has Major DFS Fantasy Upside At Nashville

Corey Lajoie will start from dead last in Sunday's Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway, but he doesn't have the slowest car in the field. During qualifying on Saturday, Lajoie spun during his attempt, which will force him to start from the rear in the race. That is actually good news for DFS players, though, because […]

Todd Gilliland Racing In Competitive Equipment At Nashville

The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season has been a game of musical chairs for Todd Gilliland, as he has been splitting track time between his normal #38 Ford for Front Row Motorsports and the #15 Ford for Rick Ware Racing.

Denny Hamlin The Favorite To Win Gateway After Strong Practice

The consensus among sportsbooks heading into today's Enjoy Illinois 300 NASCAR Cup Series race at Gateway is that Denny Hamlin is the favorite to win. This is due to the fact that Hamlin's #11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota was the fastest in practice in nearly every statistical category. Hamlin had the fastest 10-, 15-, 20-, […]

Ross Chastain Really Happy With His Chances At Gateway

Look for Ross Chastain to be a factor at Gateway in this weekend's Enjoy Illinois 300. The driver of the #1 Chevrolet for Trackhouse Racing put up very respectable practice times on Saturday morning, including the 4th-fastest 10-lap average and the 2nd-fastest 15-lap average. This is noteworthy because Chastain rarely shows speed in practice, and […]

Brad Keselowski Has A Lot Of Concern Heading Into Sunday's Race

Just eight minutes into practice at Gateway on Saturday morning, Brad Keselowski ran into issues with his left rear tire completely coming apart. With Gateway being such a low-wear race track, this should be a bit concerning for the #6 race team, and Keselowski echoed those concerns during an interview between practice and qualifying. He […]

Aric Almirola Strong In Long-Run Practice Speed In Gateway

When it comes to track type and driver preference, Aric Almirola's is definitely the shorter, flat tracks on the schedule. That's why he excels at places like Richmond, Phoenix, and New Hampshire--where he got his last win back in July of 2021. The good news for Almirola is that we're racing at Gateway this weekend, […]

Corey LaJoie Struggling To Find Speed In Hendrick Car

This is the opportunity that Corey LaJoie has been wanting ever since he started racing in the NASCAR Cup Series full time: a chance to run in top tier equipment. Thanks to Chase Elliott's suspension from his actions at Charlotte last weekend, LaJoie is in the #9 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports at Gateway this week. […]

AJ Allmendinger Hopeful For First Top 10 Finish Since February

Coming off of a partial season last year in which he posted eight top 10 finishes in just 18 starts, it's a bit surprising that AJ Allmendinger hasn't found more success during his 2023 campaign with Kaulig Racing. Through the first 14 races of this year, Allmendinger has just one top 10 finish, and it […]

Carson Hocevar Showing Decent Speed In Cup Debut At Gateway

Carson Hocevar is making his very first NASCAR Cup Series start this weekend at Gateway in place of Corey LaJoie in the #7 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports. This ride opened up for this weekend due to LaJoie replacing Chase Elliott in the #9 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports due to Elliott's one-race suspension for intentionally wrecking […]

Todd Gilliland Back In Competitive Equipment This Weekend

Last weekend in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Todd Gilliland disappointed some fantasy owners when he walked away with a 33rd-place finish. However, it shouldn't have been too surprising because he was racing the #51 Ford for Rick Ware Racing--a significant downgrade from his 'normal' ride in the #38 Ford for Front Row […]

Carson Hocevar To Make Cup Series Debut At Gateway This Weekend

Carson Hocevar will be making his NASCAR Cup Series debut this weekend at Gateway, and he will be piloting the No. 7 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports.

Chase Elliott Suspended; Corey LaJoie To Replace Him At Gateway

After a lap 186 crash in Monday's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway where it appeared that Chase Elliott intentionally turned into Denny Hamlin's right rear quarter, sending him head-first into the wall, many fans and media members believed that Elliott would be suspended for one race due to those actions. This precedent was set […]

Chase Elliott Believes He’s Got A Good Shot To Win Coca-Cola 600

Despite missing six races due to injury this season, Chase Elliott hasn't really missed a step on the track. His average finish of 11.9 this year ranks 2nd-best behind his teammate, Alex Bowman's, 10.3 average finish. With that being said, Elliott hasn't led much this year (just 24 laps total, most of which came at […]

Alex Bowman Facing Uphill Battle In Coca-Cola 600 Return

Alex Bowman has missed the last three NASCAR Cup Series races due to a back injury he suffered a month ago, but he will be returning to this #48 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend for the Coca-Cola 600. Unfortunately, Bowman will have some work to do, as he will have […]

Ryan Preece Hopeful To Start Putting Pieces Together For Good Runs

It has been a rough start to the season for Ryan Preece and the #41 Stewart-Haas Racing team. Through the first 13 races of the year, Preece has an average finish of 24.2 and just one result better than 15th. Still, though, things are starting to look up for Preece and his team. Over the […]

Corey Lajoie Looking To Continue Career-Best Season At Charlotte

"Steady improvement" could be the nickname for Corey Lajoie these days, as the driver of the #7 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports has quietly gotten better each and every year since joining the NASCAR Cup Series full time in 2019. This season, Lajoie is on pace for his best season ever--and by a pretty good margin. […]
