Kyle Larson will have some work to do at Richmond Raceway on Saturday night, as the two-time Cup Series Champion qualified back in 30th place for this weekend's Cook Out 400. Now, with that being said, it's not like Larson hasn't had to deal with this before. In fact, he started 30th in last year's […]

Sometimes you come across a statistic that doesn't seem real, but it is. This weekend, that is the fact that Chase Briscoe has never finished inside the top 10 at Richmond Raceway. He has gotten close a few times, but in Chase's nine career attempts at this race track, his best finish thus far is […]

The Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolets were all over the board in qualifying at Richmond Raceway on Friday evening, ending up fifth, 13th, 25th, and 30th. The driver leading the way? William Byron in the No. 24 Chevrolet, who will roll off the starting grid from row three on Saturday night. Surprisingly enough, Richmond Raceway hasn't been […]

At first glance, Tyler Reddick looks like a slam-dunk DFS pick this weekend at Richmond Raceway. He's super affordable for his skill set ($9.0K salary) and he starts way back in 32nd-place for Saturday night's Cook Out 400, giving him massive Place Differential upside. But is he a must-play? There is no doubt that Reddick […]

It has been nine races since Chase Elliott last finished inside the top 10, and a full 13 races since he has notched a top-five result. And although his results during that span aren't awful--he has finished between 11th and 17th in seven of the last eight races--they're definitely not up to the standard that […]

Don't count out Bubba Wallace in Saturday night's Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway. The 23XI Racing driver has been very impressive at this track over the last few years, as he has finished eighth or better in all eight Stages during that span (including a Stage win last year). The final race results have […]

Richmond Raceway has always been a good race track for Austin Dillon, but with this Next Gen car in the Cup Series, it's easily his best. Dillon has undoubtedly found something that his competitors have not, as the No. 3 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing has gone to victory lane in each of the last […]

Don't overlook Josh Berry in the Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway this weekend.

The stars are aligning for Ryan Blaney this weekend, as the Team Penske driver has a perfect path to domination in Sunday afternoon's Iowa Corn 350 at Iowa Speedway. We saw Blaney absolutely dominate the first Cup Series race here back in 2024, and it's looking likely to happen again. Blaney won the pole on […]

Christopher Bell is one of the best at short, flat tracks, and Iowa Speedway should be no exception. However, after the first two Cup races here, it's looking as though Bell hasn't quite figured out this short, flat track. He finished fourth here back in 2024, but had a driver rating of just 97.2 and […]

It was a great day for Brad Keselowski on Saturday at Iowa Speedway, and then it wasn't. In practice, the No. 6 Ford showed some respectable speed (14th-fastest), but once qualifying came around, Keselowski was one of the best, and he actually ended up fourth-fastest in the session. Unfortunately, he will have to drop to […]

Austin Cindric is currently sitting 16th in points with four races to go until the Chase cutoff. He has a comfortable 38-point cushion over 17th-place, Ryan Preece, but we all know how quickly that can evaporate. Thankfully for Cindric, though, the NASCAR Cup Series is at Iowa Speedway this week, and the Team Penske Fords […]

Ross Chastain's No. 1 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet has looked stout at Iowa Speedway thus far this weekend, as the "Melon Man" had respectable speed in both practice and qualifying on Saturday.
