Erik Jones Bounces Back At Pocono Raceway

Starting 38th proved to be nothing more than a minor inconvenience for Joe Gibbs Racing's Erik Jones, who navigated through traffic to reach sixth place by the midway point of the Pocono 350. Jones wasn't done there, though, as he picked up three more positions on his way to a third-place finish. After a 38th-place […]

Alex Bowman Struggles At Pocono

After starting 10th, Hendrick Motorsports' Alex Bowman managed to finish in the top 10 in each of the first two stages, but he ultimately fell to a finish of 27th. The struggles may not have been entirely on Bowman, as no Chevy finished inside the top 10, but that shouldn't make DFS players feel any […]

Accident Ends Erik Jones' Day Early

After picking up nine positions in Stage 1, Erik Jones was unable to finish Saturday's Organic 325 at Pocono Raceway due to an accident that sent his car into the wall. Now in a backup car, Jones will begin the Pocono 350 in 38th, giving fantasy players a difficult decision to make. Jones' history at […]

Chris Buescher Secures Top-10 Finish At Pocono Raceway

Chris Buescher went to Pocono Raceway on Saturday for the first time as a driver for Roush Fenway Racing, and the results were promising. After starting the race 24th, Buescher raced his way to a 10th-place finish, his best performance at Pocono Raceway since he won a rain-shortened event in 2016. The most impressive aspect […]

Kyle Busch Continues His Success At Pocono Raceway

Another race at Pocono Raceway, another top-10 finish for Kyle Busch who, extends his streak to eight straight at The Tricky Triangle. Busch spent most of the day in the top 10 and finished with a driver rating of 111. For Sunday's race, Busch will have to navigate through some traffic, as he will start […]

Kevin Harvick Looks To Sweep Cup Series Doubleheader

It took 39 attempts, but Kevin Harvick has finally taken the checkered flag at Pocono Raceway. Harvick led 17 laps on the day and entered the last round of green-flag pitstops in third, but a decision to go with just two tires got Harvick out in front and he never looked back. Harvick will start […]

Pocono Raceway A Mixed Bag For Joey Logano

Since his win at Pocono Raceway in 2012, Joey Logano has failed to find much success at the home of this week's Organic 350. Logano hasn't led a lap at Pocono Raceway since 2016 and has finished outside the top 20 more frequently than he has finished inside the top 10 over the same period […]

Kevin Harvick Looking To Secure His First Win At Pocono

The Organics 325 will be Kevin Harvick's 39th Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway, and it will be his 39th attempt to win his first Cup Series race at The Tricky Triangle. Although a victory is missing from his resume, Harvick hasn't been a stranger to success at Pocono Raceway. In his career, Harvick has […]

Pocono Raceway Has Been Difficult For Alex Bowman

Alex Bowman will start the Organics 325 at Pocono Raceway in 10th, but his history at Pocono Raceway should have fantasy players hesitant to put him in their lineups. Bowman has just one top-10 performance and averages a disappointing 22nd-place finish for his career. In addition, Bowman has just two top-10 finishes in his last […]

Erik Jones Provides Significant Upside At Pocono

Although he has only made six starts at Pocono Raceway, Erik Jones has shown a prowess for racing at NASCAR's two-and-a-half-mile triangle. In his last three trips to Pocono Raceway, Jones has qualified in the top five each time and backed those pre-race performances up with top-five finishes. This week, Jones will be starting 19th […]

Kyle Busch Looks To Continue His Dominance At Pocono

After a disappointing 32nd-place finish at Talladega Superspeedway last week, Kyle Busch has a golden opportunity to bounce back this week with the Cup Series return to Pocono Raceway. In the Cup Series last four trips to The Tricky Triangle, no driver has posted a better driver rating than Busch's 128.3. On his way to […]

Joey Logano Unable To Finish Off Strong Performance

Joey Logano was a fixture at the front of the field throughout the GEICO 500 on Monday at Talladega Superspeedway but was unable to turn it into a strong finish. Logano led the field for 66 laps throughout the afternoon and earned a 101.4 driver rating for his efforts. Unfortunately, fuel-shortage issues forced the No. […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Puts On A Show

Starting 20th, JTG Daugherty Racing's Ricky Stenhouse Jr. rewarded fantasy players who didn't shy away from his boom-or-bust style of racing in Monday's GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Stenhouse and race-winner Ryan Blaney were separated by a mere .007 seconds in a chaotic finish that had both cars bouncing off of each other on their […]

Record-Tying Day For Aric Almirola

After spending most of the race running in the middle of the pack, Stewart-Haas Racing's Aric Almirola made a late-race charge for the lead and may have won had it not been for the bumper of Ricky Stenhouse Jr., which sent him across the finish line sideways in third place at Talladega. Although unconventional, it […]

Jimmie Johnson An Expensive Gamble For The Geico 500

Talladega has not been kind to Jimmie Johnson in quite some time. The No. 48 team has managed to finish in the top 10 just three times in their last 10 races at the superspeedway. The poor performances were not strictly the result of bad luck either, as he has only failed to finish the […]

Denny Hamlin A Wildcard At Talladega

Denny Hamlin has had a roller coaster of a season in 2020, winning three races while also recording consecutive top-10s just once. Unfortunately, Hamlin's record at Talladega Superspeedway, home of this week's Geico 500, is similarly volatile. In his last four trips to Talladega, Hamlin has finished in the top five twice and outside the […]

Points Leader Kevin Harvick A Shaky Investment

Stewart-Haas Racing's Kevin Harvick is having another championship-caliber year, but that doesn't mean fantasy players should pay for past performance this week at Talladega. In their last six trips to Talladega, the No. 4 team has managed a top-15 finish just once, with an average finish of 21.75. To make matters worse, Harvick comes into […]

Kurt Busch's Strong Season Rolls Into Talladega

Kurt Busch may have finished a disappointing 17th at Homestead last Sunday, but he still finds himself tied for the third-most top-10 finishes on the year. That consistency has positioned him safely in the playoff picture, and now the No. 1 team will have a chance to lock themselves in with a win this week […]

DFS Players Should Have Ryan Newman On Their Radar

Lost in the horrific crash that Ryan Newman suffered at the end of the Daytona 500 was a seventh-place finish that extended a quiet streak of dominance for the Cup Series veteran at NASCAR's longest tracks. In the last 10 Cup Series races at superspeedways, Newman has managed a top-10 finish eight times. Perhaps just […]

Kyle Busch Difficult To Trust At Talladega

It is hard to count Kyle Busch out, as the reigning Cup champion is capable of dominant wins at nearly every track. However, Talladega may be the rare exception to that fact. Busch's 10th-place finish in the 2019 spring race is his only top-10 finish in his last five attempts at the 2.66-mile superspeedway, and […]

Joey Logano Chases Win No. 3 At Talladega

Nobody has been as dominant over the last four races at Talladega as Team Penske's Joey Logano. The No. 22 team has posted the highest driver rating, three top-five finishes, and a victory across that span with the lone finish outside the top 10 being an eleventh place showing. In addition, Logano's superspeedway prowess was […]

Chase Elliott Looks To Extend Streak At Talladega

Hendrick Motorsports' Chase Elliott enters the Geico 500 at Talladega with a run of eight top-10 finishes in his last 10 races. That includes consecutive top-five finishes for the No. 9 team, a streak they have a strong chance at extending on Sunday. Elliott has finished in the top 10 in three of his last […]

Chase Elliott Finishes Second At Homestead

Hendrick Motorsports' Chase Elliott recorded 27 laps led on his way to a second consecutive top-five finish on Sunday at Homestead. Elliott was actually in first with just 30 laps remaining in the race, thanks in part to crew chief Alan Gustafson's strategy during the final round of pit stops. Unfortunately for the No. 9 […]

Joey Logano Seeks His Second Straight Top-Five At Homestead

After a strong showing at Martinsville, Joey Logano and the No. 22 team head to Homestead on a bit of a roll. They have managed to finish in the top 10 in three of their last four races while also accumulating two stage wins. There is little reason to think that Logano won't keep his […]

Matt Kenseth A Value Play At Homestead

Although he is over a year removed from his last run, it is hard to ignore the success that Matt Kenseth has had at Homestead. Now driving the No. 42 car for Chip Ganassi Racing, Kenseth will be in search of his seventh consecutive top-10 finish when the green flag drops for the Dixie Vodka […]

Kevin Harvick Looks To Rebound At Homestead

Stewart-Haas Racing's Kevin Harvick has been a volatile fantasy commodity lately, posting a win along with three finishes outside of the top 10 in the last four weeks. A look at recent performance suggests that fantasy owners should be anticipating more boom than bust for the No. 4 team. Harvick has six consecutive top-five finishes, […]

A Long Night In Martinsville For Denny Hamlin

Starting 12th, Denny Hamlin was unable to contend for his sixth Martinsville win in the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500. The No. 11 team was off the mark with their setup to start the race, causing him to drop as low as 32nd. To make matters worse, Hamlin had to deal with overheating issues, which […]

Joey Logano Finishes A Strong Night In Fourth Place

Team Penske managed to put three cars in the top five of the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500, including Joey Logano's No. 22 car, which ended the evening in fourth place. Although he was the third of Penske's trio by the time the checkered flag waved in Martinsville, Logano did record a race-high 234 laps […]

Second Straight Win Within Reach For Kevin Harvick

After their victory on Sunday in Atlanta, the No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing team will look to make it two wins in four days for driver Kevin Harvick when the Cup Series runs the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway. Starting 10th, Harvick will have some work to do to make it to the […]

Clint Bowyer Offers Talent At A Discount

Clint Bowyer and the No. 14 team will start on the outside of Row 2 for the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 at Martinsville. Although the starting position may minimize his place-differential score, DFS players shouldn't be too concerned thanks to Bowyer's recent short-track performance. Since 2018, Bowyer has the sixth-highest driver rating at short […]
