Josh Berry Should Be Avoided in Fantasy at Sonoma

There are certain race weekends where Josh Berry easily falls into the sleeper category, but the race weekends at road courses are not one of them. Berry has never finished better than 22nd at a road course in his Cup Series career, and this weekend's Toyota/Save Mart 350 will mark his ninth attempt at this […]

Riley Herbst a Deep Sleeper at Sonoma

If you're looking for a deep sleeper to roll the dice on in this weekend's Toyota/Save Mart 350, consider 23XI Racing's Riley Herbst.

After coming […]

A.J. Allmendinger Probably More Valuable for DFS If He Doesn't Flip the Stage

With two road courses and Daytona left in the seven races before the NASCAR playoffs begin, A.J. Allmendinger has not been totally eliminated from playoff contention as he is only 43 points behind Bubba Wallace for the final playoff transfer spot and he is much better on road courses than the two drivers he is […]

William Byron Hopes to Rebound at Sonoma After Back-to-Back DNFs

After having not won a race since his second straight fluky Daytona 500 win and back-to-back DNFs in the last two races which nearly cost him the points lead, William Byron is going to be a little undervalued for DFS play at Sunday's Sonoma race, particularly since he is starting third and is likely to […]
