Erik Jones Will Likely Struggle In All-Star Race At North Wilkesboro

Erik Jones has consistently struggled during the 2023 season, and the same should be expected in Sunday night's All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro. Legacy Motor Club simply doesn't have the speed this year that they did last year, and that was evident this weekend during Jones' Heat Race, where he started and finished dead-last. During […]

Ross Chastain Will Have Many Opportunities To Wreck Competitors on Sunday

NASCAR's wrecking ball, Ross Chastain, will have plenty of opportunities to beat and bang with his competition in Sunday night's All Star Race, as the Trackhouse Racing driver will start 18th in the 24 car field at North Wilkesboro. Following last week's controversy at Darlington Raceway, Rick Hendrick--owner of Hendrick Motorsports and a flagship figure […]

Chase Elliott Leads 26 Laps In All Star Heat Race, But Was He Really That Strong?

The short track package with the NextGen car has left a lot to be desired for NASCAR fans, and when it comes to the racing itself, track position is the most important factor when it comes to which cars are strongest. That was the case during Saturday night's Heat Races as well, especially for Chase […]

Ryan Blaney Fastest On Long Run In Practice For All Star Race

To be successful and challenge for the $1 million win in the All Star Race at North Wilkesboro on Sunday night, it's going to require your car to have long-run speed--and that's exactly what Ryan Blaney showed during practice this weekend. Blaney's #12 Ford had the best 20-, 25-, and 30-lap average of anyone in […]

Kyle Larson Is Fast Enough To Get Elusive First Win At Darlington This Weekend

Only four active drivers have led more laps at Darlington Raceway than Kyle Larson (686), and those four are Kyle Busch (899), Kevin Harvick (813), Denny Hamlin (792), and Martin Truex, Jr. (769). All four of those drivers also have at least one victory at "The Track Too Tough To Tame," and a combined 10 […]

Bubba Wallace Has A Very Fast Car At Darlington This Weekend

Keep an eye on Bubba Wallace in Sunday's Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway.

In practice on Saturday morning, Bubba posted the 2nd-fastest 25-lap average and ranked 2nd- or […]

Ty Gibbs A Quality Sleeper Option At Darlington

Don't sleep on Ty Gibbs at Darlington Raceway this weekend. Even though he had a wreck at Kansas last weekend, the Joe Gibbs Racing rookie still has five finishes of 13th or better in the last eight races overall. Additionally, he finished 15th here at Darlington last season while filling in for 23XI Racing. That's […]

Corey LaJoie A Safe DFS Option At Darlington On Sunday

Thanks to a very slow qualifying lap on Saturday, Corey LaJoie will start from 34th out of 36 cars when Sunday's Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway goes green. While this definitely isn't the best-case scenario for LaJoie and his #7 Spire Motorsports team, it makes him a great Daily Fantasy Sports play on Sunday due […]

Keep An Eye On Todd Gilliland At Darlington On Sunday

Todd Gilliland's better-than-expected sophomore season is still going strong, as the Front Row Motorsports driver sits 23rd in points after 12 races with an average finish of 19.9. This is compared to his 28th-place points finish last season and average result of 23.2. This weekend at Darlington Raceway, Gilliland is continuing the trend of improving, […]

Darlington May Be Rare Opportunity For Harrison Burton To Perform

Harrison Burton's abysmal season trudged along last weekend at Kansas Speedway, as the struggling Wood Brothers Racing driver came home with a 30th-place finish--his sixth result of 29th or worse in the first twelve races this season. Now the NASCAR Cup Series is on to Darlington Raceway, but there could be room for optimism in […]

Ryan Newman Very Slow in Cup Series Return at Darlington

Ryan Newman is back behind the wheel of a NASCAR stock car this weekend for the first time since he stepped away from the sport following the 2021 season. He will be filling in for a few races this year in the #15 Ford for Rick Ware Racing starting with the Goodyear 400 at Darlington […]

Michael McDowell Looking To Improve At Kansas

This weekend, the NASCAR Cup Series is racing at Kansas Speedway. It will be the second non-superspeedway 1.5-mile track race of the season, with the first one being at Las Vegas a couple of months ago. In that race at Vegas, Michael McDowell started 17th but finished a disappointing 25th--nearly six positions worse than his […]

Chase Briscoe Knows That There Is Room For Progress At Kansas

Over the last six NASCAR Cup Series races, Chase Briscoe has been on a bit of a hot streak. He has an average finish of 11.8 over that span, which is 5th-best among all drivers. But that doesn't guarantee success this week. Briscoe and his #14 team have struggled to find speed at Kansas Speedway […]

Denny Hamlin Has Speed To Win Kansas Despite Pit Crew Concerns

It takes a lot more than a fast race car to win a NASCAR Cup Series race. Another important factor in challenging for a win is a driver's pit crew, and Denny Hamlin's pit crew has been struggling as of late. At Dover last weekend, the #11 crew lost a total of 11 positions on […]

Josh Berry Has DFS Upside at Kansas, But Concerns Linger

Josh Berry qualified 29th for Sunday's AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway, but far the slowest car out of the Hendrick Motorsports camp. He came in a time of 31.036 seconds, nearly a full second slower than pole winner (and teammate) William Byron. However, we have seen Berry start further back in the field and be […]

Bubba Wallace Looking To Get Back Into Victory Lane At Kansas

It's not very often that you hear Bubba Wallace being talked about as a potential race winner outside of superspeedway tracks, but that is the case this weekend at Kansas Speedway. Bubba is the defending race winner here at Kansas, as he started 6th and led 58 laps en route to victory here last September. […]

Martin Truex Jr. Looking For Back-to-Back Wins After Snapping Winless Streak

Last weekend at Dover, it was Martin Truex, Jr. in victory lane, which snapped a 54-race winless streak for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver. That vaulted Truex into 4th-place in the points standings, just 40 points behind leader Ross Chastain. This weekend we're at Kansas Speedway and Truex should be able to contend for the […]

Kyle Larson Favored To Win Again At Dover Despite Starting 18th

Qualifying getting rained out didn't do Kyle Larson any favors this weekend, as he will now start from the 18th position for this weekend's Wurth 400 at Dover Motor Speedway. NASCAR used their metric calculation to set the starting lineup for this weekend's race. With that being said, Larson is still the favorite to win […]

No Driver Will Be Surprised If Chase Elliott Wins At Dover This Weekend

This weekend's Wurth 400 at Dover Motor Speedway will mark the third race for Chase Elliott since he returned from a broken leg injury earlier this month. In the previous two races, Chase has finished 12th at Martinsville and then 10th at Talladega this past weekend. Still, his competition wouldn't be surprised if he got […]

Ross Chastain Loves Racing At Dover, Looks To Take Over As Points Leader

In last year's race at Dover, Ross Chastain was a pleasant surprise. He started 7th in that race and ended up leading 86 laps en route to a 3rd-place finish. He also ended up finishing 4th in Stage 1 and 6th in Stage 2. That was a bit surprising for NASCAR fans, though, because up […]

Brad Keselowski, Fastest in Practice, Hopes Speed Translates To Race Success At Dover

Brad Keselowski was the fastest in practice during Saturday morning's session at Dover Motor Speedway, and it really wasn't even close. The #6 Ford ran a time of 22.690 seconds (158.660 mph), which was over a full tenth faster than 2nd-fastest Kyle Larson (22.809 seconds at 157.832 mph). Keselowski wasn't able to showcase that speed […]

Noah Gragson Slowest In Practice, Struggles Likely To Continue At Dover

Noah Gragson's first full-time season in the Cup Series hasn't been kind to him. Through the first ten races of the year, Gragson has most points than just one driver (Ty Dillon) of those who have competed in all ten races, and has been out-earned by Chase Elliott in points despite Elliott only starting four […]

Corey Lajoie With Surprising Practice Speed At Dover

The NASCAR Cup Series practice session was short and sweet and plagued with a few wrecks on Saturday morning, but that didn't stop Corey Lajoie from showing some surprising speed during it. In addition to posting the 13th-fastest single lap of the session at 22.958 seconds (156.808 mph), Lajoie also had the best 5-lap average […]

Points Leader Christopher Bell To Start 2nd At Dover

Weather is an issue at Dover Motor Speedway this weekend, as it has been (and is expected to continue to be) wet. NASCAR was forced to cancel Cup Series qualifying because of the rain, and that means the starting lineup is set by the qualifying metric that the series uses. That will put points leader […]
