NFL Draft 2024: Bold Predictions And Fearless Forecasts

NFL Mock Drafts are always fun to read and certainly give us a good skeletal view of what to expect during the actual selection process. But the sharpest analysis of even the top experts on the game are never fully on point, as the NFL Draft always excites and surprises us with its unique twists. […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Slow At Texas Again

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was off in speed and acceleration during practice and qualifying on Saturday. Not surprisingly, the JTG Daugherty Chevrolet starts 31st at Texas.

Ty Dillon Trying To Manufacture Speed With Kaulig

Ty Dillon tries to keep pushing the Kaulig Racing car but to no avail. Dillon was 0.639 seconds off in practice and 0.653 seconds in qualifying on Saturday. He will start the Texas race back in 36th. The No. 16 Chevy is a bit slower than the Spire Motorsports car he had raced in last […]

Austin Dillon Springs Into Texas With Hope

Austin Dillon and his Richard Childress Chevrolet has had a rough start to the 2024 season. His best result was 16th in Las Vegas and every other result has been outside the Top 20. Worse, he has no DNF's in the No. 3 car. That simply means the performance has been lacking. Dillon qualified 15th […]

Austin Cindric Starts Eighth At Texas

Austin Cindric turned in a nice qualifying lap when it counted on Saturday. It got him into the final round where he qualified eighth for the Sunday afternoon race at Texas Motor Speedway.

Jimmie Johnson the GOAT at Texas, But NextGen Performance Is Lacking

Jimmie Johnson is clearly the greatest driver in Texas Motor Speedway history, with a record seven wins and 1,152 laps led. He even impressed in the 2022 IndyCar race at Texas as well, where he finished directly between multi-champion teammates Scott Dixon and Álex Palou in his first oval start. However, while it is one […]

Austin Hill Makes First Cup Series Start of 2024

Austin Hill has finished in the top ten in his last four Texas Motor Speedway starts in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and led 25 laps in this weekend's event on an alternate pit sequence, but he probably won't replicate that feat in Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series event.
