Martin Truex Jr. Should Be Considered A Favorite At Homestead

Joe Gibbs Racing's Martin Truex Jr. will start ninth on Sunday when the NASCAR Cup Series rolls into Homestead-Miami Speedway for the Dixie Vodka 400. Truex finished 12th here last season, but had three top-two finishes in a row before that, including a win in 2017 and a second-place run in 2019 that saw him […]

Tyler Reddick Has Huge Upside On Sunday

Richard Childress Racing's Tyler Reddick is the highest upside DFS play in the field for Sunday's Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Reddick starts 35th, but finished fourth here last year and won the 2018 and 2019 Xfinity races at the track. His past production here combined with the immense place differential upside that comes […]

Kyle Larson Has Strong Upside At Homestead

Hendrick Motorsports' Kyle Larson starts 17th for Sunday's Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. This has been a good track for Larson, who had a string of three top fives in a row here from 2015-2017, then led 45 laps in 2018. In fact, twice Larson has led over 100 laps here. His past production […]

Kevin Harvick Is Solid Play For Dixie Vodka 400

Stewart Haas Racing's Kevin Harvick starts fourth for Sunday's Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. With top 10s in 85 percent of his career starts here, Harvick is a solid play, though the lack of place differential upside means he'll need to get upfront and lead laps to reach his full DFS potential. More often […]

Chase Elliott Has High Upside At Homestead

Hendrick Motorsports' Chase Elliott will start just outside the top 10 on Sunday for the Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, rolling off the grid 11th. That starting spot offers some decent place differential upside for DFS players who believe Elliott has top-five potential. Considering he placed second here last season and led 27 laps, […]

William Byron Will Try To Drive Through Pack On Sunday

Hendrick Motorsports' William Byron starts 31st for Sunday's Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. While his track record at Homestead isn't the best -- in three races here, he has a best finish of ninth and one DNF -- we have to recommend him as a DFS play because of the place differential. Cars with […]

Kyle Busch Is Top DFS Play For Sunday's Dixie Vodka 400

Joe Gibbs Racing's Kyle Busch should be considered the top DFS play for Sunday's Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Provided Busch […]

Chase Briscoe Offers Upside At Homestead

Stewart Haas Racing's Chase Briscoe's Cup Series career hasn't gotten off to a great start, with an average finish of 24th through two races, which has left Briscoe 27th in points.

Ryan Blaney Is Strong Play At Homestead

Penske Racing's Ryan Blaney will roll off the grid in 14th place for Sunday's Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead, making him a strong DFS play. Third in this race last season, Blaney only has one top-10 finish in six Cup Series races here. But with Blaney leading 70 laps here a year ago, it's fair […]
