Zane Smith Lacks Speed For Sunday Race

Zane Smith kept falling off the pace at New Hampshire and Iowa. The results for the Spire Motorsports car were two results in the 30's. Smith qualified 35th for Sunday's Ally 400 and it would not be surprising if he gets lapped in short order. Finishing 0.92 seconds off the pole position time of Denny […]

Justin Haley to Start Nashville Race with Penalty

Justin Haley will start the Ally 400 in a hole on Sunday afternoon, as the No. 51 Rick Ware Racing team made an adjustment to their race car after going through technical inspection this weekend and were penalized by NASCAR. Not only will Haley have to drop to the rear at the start of the […]

Ryan Preece Could Be An Option At Nashville

Ryan Preece may have been slowest among Stewart-Haas Racing drivers in qualifying at Nashville on Saturday. He was 22nd but Preece has shown lately an ability to move up from a track position perspective. Last week at New Hampshire was Preece's best positive place differential of the season (+20). Preece flirted heavily with the Top […]

AJ Allmendinger a Nice Place Differential Play at Nashville

If you're looking for a low-dollar option in DFS with good Place Differential upside at Nashville on Sunday, AJ Allmendinger is a great option. Coming in at just $6,500 on the slate, Allmendinger qualified back in 28th for the Ally 400 but should be able to move up as the race progresses. In two starts […]

John Hunter Nemechek Capitalizing Off Momentum

John Hunter Nemechek and his Legacy Motor Club Toyota has some hope for Sunday's Ally 400. That comes in the form of yesterday's Xfinity win. Nemechek led a race-high 76 laps and started from the 15th position. Again, Sunday is more daunting as the No. 42 car begins back in 35th. Both Legacy cars are […]

Daniel Hemric To The Back For Sunday Race

Daniel Hemric was slow in qualifying and nearly 3/4 of a second off of the pole time set by Denny Hamlin. Furthermore, he will start from 37th at Nashville this Sunday afternoon. The Kaulig Racing Chevy may have a few issues getting around the 1.33-mile course. Though Nashville behaves like a superspeedway in some ways, […]

Fantasy Football Rookie Spotlight: Malik Nabers

The outpouring of excitement surrounding the 2024 NFL rookie class has surged throughout the offseason and enthusiasm for this year’s newcomers is destined to continue as we advance toward the matchups of Week 1.

All other NASCAR Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. We continue on with the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season this weekend with the Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway. Nashville is a 1.33-mile speedway that is relatively new to the Cup Series schedule; this will be just the fourth race at this track. […]

Harrison Burton Building Off New Hampshire

Harrison Burton was able to move up at New Hampshire due to attrition and some great pit strategy. His +13 place differential in the Wood Brothers Racing car offered hope for this week's Ally 400. The No. 21 Ford starts Sunday from the 25th position as Burton was 0.529 seconds off the time of Denny […]

Chase Briscoe Stuck In The Middle For Nashville

Chase Briscoe was one of the slower qualifiers on the Stewart-Haas Racing team. His Saturday effort has Briscoe starting 19th for Sunday afternoon's Ally 400. Nashville has not been kind to the No. 14 Ford. His average start has been 20.7 over the last three years. Worse, he has finished between 31st and 34th since […]

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Hitters for HR, SB, RBI, AVG, Runs (Week 14)

Is your fantasy baseball team in need of a boost in a specific category? Maybe it's a shot in the arm in runs scored or an influx of RBI? Monitoring how well you are performing in each offensive category and addressing those categories in need throughout the season is a great way to keep your […]

Mike Trout Aiming For July Return

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (knee) is progressing from knee surgery, yet there remains no timetable for his return from the injured list. Trout said he is "feeling really good" and "relieved" as he is close to running and hitting in the cages. He is currently playing catch and jogging on the Alter-G Treadmill. […]

Daniel Suarez Lacks Speed in Nashville Despite Recent Strong Runs

Although Daniel Suarez seemed to fall into complacency after his early-season photo-finish win at Atlanta locked him into the playoffs--as he is having by far his slowest season in a competitive car with a speed percentile of 36.99--he's finally showed some speed again in recent weeks with his first top-10 qualifying run of the year […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr Probably Needs Strategy to Contend at Nashville

Although Ricky Stenhouse Jr has his career-worst speed percentile in the NASCAR Cup Series at 33.84 at the season's halfway point and is arguably having his most invisible season, he unexpectedly scored back-to-back top tens at Iowa and Loudon in the last two races. However, both finishes were primarily due to strategy rather than Stenhouse's […]

Michael McDowell Scores Best Qualifying Run at Nashville, but Will Likely Fade

Michael McDowell continues his best-ever season in terms of qualifying performance with a 14th-place run yesterday at Nashville while his teammate, Todd Gilliland, qualified a mere 32nd. Apparently, any speculation that Front Row Motorsports would shift its focus to Gilliland after McDowell announced his departure might have been premature. However, McDowell has not done a […]

Corey LaJoie's Recent Improvement May Pay Dividends at Nashville

Although Corey LaJoie was very disappointing for most of the first half of the season--particularly at Gateway where he had the second-slowest average speed in the race while his rookie teammate, Carson Hocevar, finished 8th--it seems that may have lit a fire under Lajoie, as in the three races since, he has exhibited more patience […]

Erik Jones Still Struggling for Speed after Talladega Crash

Erik Jones had a fairly miserable first half of the NASCAR Cup Series season as a result of Legacy Motor Club receiving less funding from Toyota than their other two teams, not to mention his injury at Talladega. Jones still has solid racecraft in terms of usually finishing better than he starts, as he has […]

Carson Hocevar Should Deliver Another Strong Run at Nashville

Carson Hocevar qualified 15th for today's race at Nashville, faster than both Spire Motorsports teammates again despite no past experience in the NASCAR Cup Series at this track. He has been successful here in other series, though, as he won last year's Craftsman Truck Series race, although he crashed in the following day's Xfinity Series […]

Riley Herbst Too Inexperienced to Contend at Nashville

Riley Herbst starts 30th at Nashville on Sunday, ahead of his teammate Justin Haley, but Haley did qualify faster than Herbst. Although Herbst has already collected two top-10s in the NASCAR Cup Series, those came in drafting races where slower teams like Herbst's Rick Ware Racing can more easily compete. Haley has had surprisingly consistent […]

Corey Heim Should Benefit From Faster 23XI Toyotas at Nashville

Corey Heim makes his first start in the NASCAR Cup Series for 23XI Racing in this afternoon's Nashville race after two previous starts for Legacy Motor Club while subbing for the injured Erik Jones earlier this season. It's reasonable to expect a better result from him in this race than in his previous starts at […]

Paul Skenes Strikes Out Nine In Latest Gem

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Paul Skenes tossed six innings of one-run ball and earned a no-decision on Saturday afternoon. The rookie struck out nine batters and allowed six hits and two free passes. His one significant mistake came off a leadoff solo shot by Atlanta outfielder Jarred Kelenic. Saturday marked the sixth consecutive start where […]

Corey Seager Avoids Serious Injury To Left Wrist

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (wrist) avoided serious injury to his left wrist after being hit by a pitch during Saturday's 6-5 loss at the Baltimore Orioles. Seager, who earlier hit his 15th homer in the first inning, left in the fifth after being hit by Orioles starter Cade Povich. X-rays proved negative, and the […]

Jake Irvin Allows One Hit Across Six Frames On Saturday

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Jake Irvin pitched six strong innings on Saturday, allowing just one hit and three free passes. He struck out five batters. His one mistake was a solo shot by Tampa Bay second baseman Brandon Lowe in the first inning. This was another strong outing for the 27-year-old right-hander as he posted […]

CJ Abrams Launches 13th Long Ball Of The Season

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams went 2-for-3 with his 13th home run of the season. He also knocked his 20th double of the season and added two RBI to increase his season total to 42. Abrams carries a strong .282/.339/.513 with 13 stolen bases and a 21:62 BB:K ratio. Abrams remains an elite fantasy asset […]

After Georgia surprised many, qualifying for the Knockout Round in Group F, can they continue their momentum and pull off one of […]

Tylor Megill Shipped Down To Triple-A Syracuse

New York Mets starting pitcher Tylor Megill was sent down to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday. The Mets are likely going with Christian Scott or Jose Butto when Megill's next scheduled start arrives. Megill is (2-4) with a 4.85 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 33 2/3 innings with 43 strikeouts and 16. He had allowed at […]

Paul Sewald Continues Shutout Streak, Earns 11th Save

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Paul Sewald tossed a clean ninth inning with one strikeout to earn his 11th save of the campaign. Since allowing one run in his first outing of the season on May 7, the 34-year-old has now tossed 14 ⅔ consecutive shutout frames. Overall, he holds a near-perfect 0.57 ERA, 0.51 WHIP, […]
