William Byron On Pole At Phoenix, Will Be Tough To Beat

William Byron will definitely be a contender in the Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway this weekend.

Despite Greatness At Phoenix, Ryan Blaney Has Never Won In The Desert

If we were to tell you that there was a driver who hasn't finished worse than fifth in the last seven races at Phoenix Raceway, a normal reaction would be, "well he has definitely won at least one or two of those, right?" Unfortunately for Ryan Blaney, that answer is no. Some how, some way, […]

Kyle Larson Should Be Strong At Phoenix Despite Qualifying 17th

Don't let Kyle Larson's starting spot for this weekend's Shriners Children's 500 fool you. The No. 5 Chevrolet is still really strong this weekend. Larson hit the apron wrong during his qualifying lap on Saturday, and that is why he will start from back in 17th place when the green flag waves in Phoenix. If […]

Chris Buescher A DFS Pivot Option At Phoenix

Don't forget about Chris Buescher ($8,400) when building your DraftKings lineups for this weekend's Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway.

Alex Bowman A Strong Place-Differential Play At Phoenix

Alex Bowman will roll off the starting grid from 32nd place for Sunday's Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway, but he should place much better than that when it's all said and done. Bowman, like his teammate Kyle Larson, clipped the apron in Turn 1 during his qualifying lap and ruined his time. And while […]

Ryan Preece Could Be A Dark Horse At Phoenix

Don't sleep on Ryan Preece in this weekend's Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway. The short, flat tracks are where Preece excels at the most, and Roush-Fenway Keselowski Racing has found some speed here at Phoenix over the last couple of races. In the spring race last year, both RFK cars finished inside the top […]

There's Upside For Todd Gilliland At Phoenix

Todd Gilliland is always a popular low-tier driver in the fantasy and betting world, and with him coming off of a top-10 finish at COTA last weekend, you may be looking to dip back into the Gilly Gang well again this weekend.

Is AJ Allmendinger an option in DFS this weekend?

Allmendinger has had decent runs at Phoenix Raceway in the past, but has struggled at […]

Ty Dillon Could Have Respectable Showing At Phoenix

After a couple of rough races at Atlanta and COTA, Ty Dillon probably isn't mad that Phoenix Raceway is the next stop on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule. That's because he doesn't have that bad of a record at this race track. Statistically, Phoenix ranks in the top third of tracks for Ty. He has […]
