DFS Players Should Stay Away From Christopher Bell

Christopher Bell has had a fairly puzzling season to date, as he has won the most races with three (matching his career-best seasonal total) and also became the only driver to win three in a row in a year he's arguably lost some speed. While his average finish of 12.3 is the best of his […]

Ross Chastain's A Must-Start At Texas

Ross Chastain qualifies poorly and gets a good finish. Rise, rinse, repeat.

Chase Briscoe's Joe Gibbs Racing debut has been very anonymous so far as he currently sits 12th in points in a year when his teammates have won five races.
