Ricky Stenhouse Jr's Track Record at Indianapolis Is Abysmal

Ricky Stenhouse Jr has been one of the most valuable low-dollar options in DFS this season due to his high positive Place Differential count, and that could definitely be the case again at Indianapolis this weekend, as the Hyak Motorsports driver qualified 32nd for this weekend's Brickyard 400. And when you consider the fact that […]

Todd Gilliland Hoping to Replicate Solid Run at Brickyard

Todd Gilliland had a great result in last year's Brickyard 400, and the Front Row Motorsports driver is hoping to replicate that finish this weekend as well. During media availability earlier this week, Gilliland stated, "Dover was disappointing, but the good thing about this sport is there's another opportunity every week. I had a solid […]

Jesse Love Making Beard Motorsport's First-Ever Attempt at Indianapolis

Jesse Love is back in Cup Series action this weekend, as the 20-year-old driver will be behind the wheel of the No. 62 Chevrolet for Beard Motorsports in the Brickyard 400. This will be the first-ever start at Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the organization and the driver, as Love as only made three Cup Series […]

Katherine Legge Quite Slow at Indianapolis

Katherine Legge is back behind the wheel of the No. 78 Chevrolet this weekend for the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This car itself doesn't have much speed in it no mater who's behind the wheel, and that was showcased again this weekend, as Legge was over four seconds off the pace in practice […]

Toyota Qualifying Dominance Suggests Tyler Reddick is a Strong Contender to Win at Indy

After losing the semifinal round of the In-Season Challenge to Ty Gibbs last week, Reddick is now more free to take risks to fight for wins than he was before being eliminated from the tournament. Although he hasn't won a race to lock himself in the playoffs yet and has contended for wins a lot […]

Ty Gibbs Stands Poised to Win In-Season Challenge

Ty Gibbs looks to both win NASCAR's In-Season Challenge against Ty Dillon today and make up ground in the playoff race as he sits only 52 points behind Bubba Wallace for the last playoff spot. The first mission should be easier as Gibbs is much more talented than Dillon, not to mention the fact that […]

Ross Chastain Likely to Slice Through Brickyard Field, but Might Not Be the Best DFS Option

As usual, Ross Chastain qualified poorly for today's Brickyard 400, where he starts 33rd while both his teammates, the lame duck Daniel Suárez and rookie Shane van Gisbergen surprisingly outqualified him. Since Chastain's racecraft has improved and he crashes much less than he used to, he's definitely a strong choice for DFS Place Differential points. […]

Chris Buescher's Recent History of Fading After Strong Qualifying Runs Makes Him a Poor DFS Option

After years of tending to qualify poorly and moving up through the field as other drivers made mistakes, Buescher has substantially improved in qualifying this year but it seems to have come at the expense of his race speed. Buescher usually tends to outqualify his teammates Ryan Preece and Brad Keselowski, but Preece is typically […]

Kyle Busch Unlikely to Recapture His Brickyard Dominance From a Decade Ago

Kyle Busch used to be something of a master at the Brickyard 400 with back-to-back wins in 2015 and 2016, three straight poles from 2016-2018, and the most laps led in any Brickyard in 2016. However, at Richard Childress Racing, he has increasingly struggled at many of the tracks where he used to dominate and […]

Josh Berry Hard to Predict Since He Crashed in His Only Other Brickyard Start

Josh Berry was the most crash-prone driver in his 2024 rookie season, and last year's Brickyard 400 was no exception as he finished 35th and his average running position of 29th was far below his usual standard for last year. Obviously, he has improved to some extent this year after switching from Stewart-Haas Racing to […]

Austin Cindric Slightly Faster in Brickyard Qualifying, but Likely Won't Do Much

Although Austin Cindric had consistent speed on the superspeedways early this season (even the non-drafting ones), he has faded to his typical mediocrity in recent weeks and the onetime road race ace tumbled from 15th to 20th after back-to-back poor finishes at Chicago and Sonoma. Cindric has gotten his qualifying mojo back to some extent […]

Daniel Suarez Likely Needs Strategy or Attrition to Contend

Although Daniel Suárez finished eighth in last year's Brickyard 400, he only had an average running position of 21st so he wasn't very fast and only finished well because of the large numbers that crashed last year. With Connor Zilisch, yesterday's Xfinity Series winner at Indianapolis, expected to take over Suárez's No. 99 car next […]

Lack of Speed Will Likely Sink Austin Dillon at Indianapolis

As he does at many tracks, Austin Dillon has a very mediocre record at Indianapolis, but he has been good at keeping his nose clean and getting slightly above average finishes despite never contending. After finishing 13th last year in his first Indy race with the new NextGen car, Dillon starts 20th today, his worst […]

Michael McDowell Sneakily Consistent in Brickyard 400

Michael McDowell starts 22nd in today's Brickyard 400. McDowell has actually been more consistent here than you might expect sa he has finished no worse than 18th on the oval since 2016, not to mention his win in the last race on the infield road course in 2023. His previous five starts all ame for […]

Noah Gragson Likely to Finish Worse Than He Starts at Indy

Noah Gragson was one of the most significant beneficiaries of the heavy attrition due to numerous crashes in Stage 3 of his first Brickyard 400 last year. Although Gragson started 21st and only had an average running position of 16th, he ended up finishing 9th after several cars ahead of him crashed out. There likely […]

Ty Dillon Will Probably Lose In-Season Challenge Finals

It's an all-Ty showdown in today's final round of NASCAR's laughably unfair In-Season Tournament. This tournament has been an excellent example of the perils of consistency in evaluating race performance as Dillon's first two opponents crashed out and then he pulled a bump and run on Alex Bowman at Sonoma, who had outrun him all […]

Justin Haley Unlikely to Gain Enough Positions for DFS Play

In Justin Haley's first Brickyard 400 last year, he drove from 35th to 20th much like his then-teammate Cody Ware mainly because a lot of other drivers crashed probably because none of the drivers had past experience with the Next Gen car at Indianapolis. Although Haley has moved to Spire Motorsports, which is traditionally faster […]

Likely Lack of Attrition Will Spoil Cody Ware's Chances at a Decent Finish

Cody Ware has only started one previous Brickyard 400 last year when he started 36th and finished 18th, but don't expect him to repeat the feat in today's race, even though his 34th place starting position is a little better this time. Not only did he receive two separate free passes, he significantly benefited from […]

Kyle Henley Sets Daytona Record With 40th Stolen Base

Cincinnati Reds outfield prospect Kyle Henley swiped three bags on Saturday, pushing his season total to 40 and setting a new single-season record for the Single-A Daytona Tortugas. Henley's blazing speed is undeniable, he's stolen 76 bases in just 125 games over the past two seasons, but he still flies under the radar in most […]

Kevin McGonigle Launches First Double-A Homer on Saturday

Detroit Tigers top prospect Kevin McGonigle hit his first Double-A home run on Saturday in a 9-6 loss to the Somerset Patriots. The 20-year-old shortstop's long ball was his first since June 27 and highlighted a strong start to his Double-A stint. Through 10 games at the level, McGonigle has shown mature plate discipline, walking […]

Trey Yesavage Perfect Through Four in Dominant Double-A Start

Toronto Blue Jays pitching prospect Trey Yesavage was perfect through four innings on Saturday against the Hartford Yard Goats, striking out five in one of his best outings since arriving at Double-A. The 22-year-old right-hander entered the game with a 6.35 ERA at the level but showed improved command and confidence in just his sixth […]

Thomas White Strikes Out 14 in Dominant Double-A Outing

Miami Marlins top prospect Thomas White delivered a jaw-dropping performance on Saturday, striking out 14 batters over five innings in his Double-A start. The 19-year-old southpaw allowed just two doubles while continuing to showcase his electric fastball-slider combo. Across two levels this season, White has racked up 86 strikeouts in just 55 innings, cementing his […]

Robby Snelling Shines Again at Triple-A

Miami Marlins pitching prospect Robby Snelling continued his strong start at Triple-A on Saturday, striking out 11 and generating 24 whiffs over six innings in a 3-0 loss to Durham. The 21-year-old left-hander allowed just two runs, both solo homers, while flashing a fastball that sat comfortably between 95 and 97 mph. Since his promotion […]

Ryan Ward Extends Hit Streak to 15 Games at Triple-A

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Ryan Ward extended his hit streak to 15 games with a 1-for-4 effort on Saturday for Triple-A Oklahoma City. The 27-year-old has been red-hot during the stretch, slashing .397 with six home runs. On the season, Ward has tallied 24 doubles, 28 home runs, and 92 RBI across 95 games, […]
