NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Pocono Green 225 (6/28/20)

Because of rain on Saturday, we're projected to have the first ever NASCAR one-day triple header on Sunday at Pocono Raceway. A full day of racing will begin with the rescheduled Truck Series race, followed by the Xfinity Series Pocono Green 225, and then a Cup race. And speaking of that Xfinity race, let's talk […]

Breaking Down RotoBaller's Scott Fish Bowl X Mock Draft

It's #SFBX SZN, y'all! For those of you who don't know, the Scott Fish Bowl is a yearly charity league featuring the best analysts in the fantasy football game plus a lot of fans. The primary goal of the Fish Bowl is to raise money for Fish's Fantasy Cares charity, but a secondary goal is […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Pocono Organics 150 (6/27/20)

The Truck Series is back after a week off and will be part of a busy weekend at Pocono Raceway, including a pair of Cup Series races. But before those Cup Series races start, the weekend begins with the Pocono Organics 150. One of NASCAR's weirdest tracks -- it's basically a 2.5 mile triangle -- […]

NASCAR Research Station: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineup Picks - Pocono Organics 325

The NASCAR Cup Series is doing something it's never done before this weekend: running a doubleheader. The idea was planned before COVID-19 and was a way of saving Pocono from dropping down to just one race. Xfinity ran a Homestead doubleheader with a lot of success, which suggests that this weekend should work and should […]

NASCAR DFS Strategy: DraftKings Sleepers and Overvalued Drivers - Geico 500 (New Start)

A rain delay on Sunday means that the Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway has been pushed back to Monday. It also means that DraftKings has put up some new contests for the new attempt at running the race. And because we have data on what drivers were at what ownership percentage from Sunday's lineups, we […]

NASCAR Research Station: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineup Picks - Geico 500

Talladega! After a pretty wild Xfinity race on Saturday, we get the first Cup Series superspeedway race since the season-opening Daytona 500 this Sunday. The Geico 500 is set to be an exciting race. I assume everyone reading this article watches NASCAR and doesn't just do DFS without watching, but if you fit into the small group […]

NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Geico 500 - Monkey Knife Fight

Hey, everyone! Our usual prop pick writer is out hiking this weekend, so I'm filling in for him. The NASCAR Cup Series is in Talladega this Sunday for the Geico 500, a race that should feature a lot of three-wide packs and explosive wrecks and things of that nature. This is a really fun place […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Talladega Unhinged 300 (6/20/20)

It's Talladega time, y'all! The longest track on the NASCAR circuit at 2.66 miles, Talladega Superspeedway is one of the two restrictor plate tracks that NASCAR visits. If you aren't super familiar with NASCAR, what that means is a lot of large packs of cars running together and an expanded field of "good" cars, as […]

NASCAR Research Station: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineup Picks - Dixie Vodka 400

A full weekend of NASCAR action at Homestead-Miami Speedway is topped off on Sunday with the Cup Series Dixie Vodka 400. For the first time in an eternity, Homestead hosts a race that isn't the season finale. Will that mean we get a different kind of race without the added pressure of drivers competing for […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Homestead Contender Boats 250 (6/14/20)

On Saturday, the NASCAR Xfinity Series raced at Homestead-Miami Speedway. On Sunday, they'll do it again. Will it be as weird as Saturday's race, when Chase Briscoe's car broke on the pace laps, he started six laps down, and then he drove up to a top-10 finish? Will we get an extremely exciting ending like […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Homestead Baptist Health 200 (6/13/20)

For the second Saturday in a row, we've got a NASCAR double feature, with both the Truck and Xfinity Series running races at Homestead-Miami Speedway. This time, it's the Truck Series that gets the headlining spot. Will Kyle Busch shake off his 21st place finish at Atlanta and go to victory lane at Homestead? He's […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Homestead Hooters 250 (6/13/20)

We've got two Xfinity races this weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway, which is going to be a lot of fun, especially when you consider that Dale Earnhardt Jr. is racing in the first one. That's right, Dale Jr. is back. He starts 12th and is the highest-priced driver on this slate on DraftKings. He also doesn't […]

Austin Dillon Exits Race After Overheating

Early on in Wednesday's Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500, the crush panel on Austin Dillon's No. 3 car was damaged. That caused his car to overheat inside, which ultimately forced Dillon to exit the race. Dillon's overheating issue required a visit to the infield care center and oxygen for the 30-year-old driver. Dillon should […]

Ryan Blaney Finishes Second At Martinsville

Penske Racing's Ryan Blaney started on the pole for Wednesday's Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway. While there was potential DFS downside to Blaney starting that high, he ended up losing just one place by the end of the race, bringing home the 12 car in second place. It was Blaney's third […]

Martin Truex Jr. Wins At Martinsville

While Wednesday wasn't a great night for his Joe Gibbs Racing teammates, it was one for Martin Truex Jr. and the 19 team, as Truex led 132 laps on his way to victory lane in the Blue Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway. It was Truex's second win in a row at the […]

Christopher Bell A Sleeper At Martinsville

On Wednesday, Christopher Bell will make his first Cup Series start at Martinsville Speedway, but the rookie is no stranger to the track, having run four Truck Series races there. In those four races, Bell recorded three top-10 finishes, leading a combined 112 laps in his final two starts at the track. While his 2020 […]

Martin Truex Jr. Looks To Repeat At Martinsville

The last time a driver won back-to-back races at Martinsville Speedway was when Jimmie Johnson did so in 2012 and 2013, but Joe Gibbs Racing's Martin Truex Jr. is looking to break that streak on Wednesday night. The former Cup Series champion is starting fifth in the Blue Emu 500 and is still searching for […]

Brad Keselowski Should Have Strong Run At Martinsville

Penske Racing's Brad Keselowski has won two of the past six races at Martinsville Speedway and should be considered one of the favorites heading into Wednesday's Blue Emu 500. Keselowski starts sixth in this one, which limits his place-differential upside, but with eight consecutive top-10s at this track, DFS players shouldn't be too worried about […]

A.J. Allmendinger On Standby For Austin Dillon

Richard Childress Racing's Austin Dillon is set to start 22nd on Wednesday night in the Blue Emu 500 at Martinsville Speedway, but there's a chance that Dillon won't be piloting the No. 3 car in this one. Dillon and his wife are expecting their first child soon, and the team has tapped A.J. Allmendinger to […]

Kyle Busch Should Be A Favorite At Martinsville

Joe Gibbs Racing's Kyle Busch finished 14th the last time NASCAR's Cup Series came to Martinsville Speedway, a result that broke a string of eight consecutive top-five finishes at the track for the former series champion. With his track history in mind, Busch should be considered one of the favorites to win Wednesday night's Blue […]

Kurt Busch Starts Ninth At Martinsville

Chip Ganassi Racing's Kurt Busch will start ninth in Wednesday's Blue Emu 500 at Martinsville Speedway. The 2004 Cup Series champion has won twice at Martinsville, but it's also been one of his worst tracks, with Busch collecting just seven top-10 finishes in 39 starts here. Two of those have come in the last two […]

Alex Bowman Has Struggled At Martinsville

In the first race back after NASCAR's COVID-19 break, Hendrick Motorsports' Alex Bowman finished second. Since then, he has finishes of 18th, 19th, 21st, 37th and 12th. Perhaps Wednesday's Blue Emu 500 at Martinsville Speedway will offer Bowman a chance to get things going in the right direction, though Bowman's record at the track isn't […]

Aric Almirola's Starting Position Makes Him A Risky DFS Play

Stewart Haas Racing's Aric Almirola will roll off second for Wednesday's Blue Emu 500 at Martinsville Speedway. In 10 races this season, Almirola has finished with a negative place differential eight times, including the past two races at Bristol and Atlanta, both of which saw Almirola start second. Almirola has also struggled at Martinsville in […]

Grass Isn't Always Greener: Free Agent Moves That Will Decrease Value

Free agency is a couple of months in the rear-view window now, though it feels like it's been years since it happened with how slow time seems to be moving these days. But so that the slow-moving train that is linear time hasn't wiped your memories of NFL free agency totally away, let's revisit some […]

William Byron Has Value At Martinsville

Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron has had a slow start to his third Cup Series season, collecting just two top-10 finishes in 10 races so far. But Byron showed speed in the last short track race on the schedule, finishing eighth at Bristol, and has some solid DFS upside for Wednesday's Blue Emu 500 at […]

Ryan Blaney Starting From Pole At Martinsville

Penske Racing's Ryan Blaney will roll off the grid first for Wednesday's Blue Emu 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Blaney ran strong at Martinsville in 2019, garnering a pair of top-five finishes. In fact, three of his last four trips to this track in the Cup Series have resulted in top fives, though he's only led […]

Kurt Busch To Start From Rear, Serve Pass Through Penalty

Chip Ganassi Racing's Kurt Busch failed inspection three times before Sunday's Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway and will have to start from the rear of the field. In addition, Busch has to serve a pass-through penalty when the race starts, all but insuring that he'll drop off the lead lap right […]

NASCAR Research Station: DraftKings, FanDuel DFS Lineup Picks - Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500

On Sunday, the NASCAR Cup Series heads to Atlanta Motor Speedway for the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. Normally, that means it's the most exciting time of the year -- commemorative NASCAR cups at QuikTrip SZN! -- but sadly I didn't see any of those cups when I was at QuikTrip yesterday. Bummer! Anyway, Atlanta's […]

NASCAR Truck Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Atlanta Vet Tix Camping World 200 (6/6/20)

This Saturday, we've got a NASCAR double feature, with both the Truck and Xfinity Series running races at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The first race on that docket is the Trucks. Like we had at Charlotte, this race has an extended field of 40 trucks, eight more than the usual 32 that take the green in […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: DraftKings DFS Lineup Picks for Atlanta EchoPark 250 (6/6/20)
