Is Ty Dillon Unplayable In DFS At Bristol This Weekend?

Ty Dillon qualified 12th for this weekend's Food City 500, which marks his best starting position since the season-opening Daytona 500.

Kyle Larson Looking For Another Darlington Win With New Pit Crew

Kyle Larson is one of the best racers in the Cup Series garage, especially at tracks like Darlington Raceway, where the speed of the car gets put into the driver's hands a little bit more.

William Byron Should Challenge For Another Darlington Win This Weekend

Look for William Byron to be strong in this weekend's Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. In addition to winning the pole for Sunday's race, the No. 24 Chevrolet was very strong in practice ranking fourth-best in 10-lap average. Additionally, Byron has been one of, if not the best at Darlington in the Next Gen era, […]

Will Ryan Blaney Remain Fool's Gold At Darlington?

Despite his strong practice speeds this weekend, you should be leery of Ryan Blaney this weekend for the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. Why? Because, for whatever reason, the Team Penske driver can't seem to figure this track out. In 16 career starts at "The Lady in Black," Blaney has led a combined 22 laps […]

It has been a rough start to the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season for Brad Keselowski and the No. 6 team.

You have to think there's […]

Josh Berry Should Move Up From 24th Starting Spot At Darlington

Look for Josh Berry to move up once the green flag waves on the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway on Sunday afternoon. The Wood Brothers Racing driver had one of the fastest cars during practice on Saturday afternoon--Berry actually posted the second-fastest lap in the session--but the No. 21 Ford wasn't able to back up […]

Erik Jones Will Be A Popular Pick At Darlington

Erik Jones will likely be a very popular DFS pick at Darlington on Sunday afternoon.

That gives daily fantasy […]

Justin Haley Has A Strong Track Record At Darlington

Don't overlook Justin Haley at Darlington Raceway this weekend.
