Chase Elliott Slipped A Bit in Qualifying Saturday

Chase Elliott will start 14th in Kansas on Sunday. That is worst among all four Hendrick Motorsport Racing drivers. That was a mild surprise given his results on the Kansas track historically. Elliott has done everything but won in his last six starts. That includes four top-fives, five top-tens, and at least two or three […]

William Byron High Among The Hendrick Wave At Kansas

William Byron starts the AdventHealth 400 on Sunday from the 13th position on Sunday. His average finish the last three years is not the worst among the four Hendrick Racing cars. That's correct. Furthermore, he is consistent with five top-ten results in his last six starts. This translates to an average finish of 9.7. The […]

Chase Briscoe Starts 12th On Sunday At Kansas

Chase Briscoe raced his Ford to outside Row 6 for Sunday's race at Kansas. Briscoe has had some interesting adventures on the 1.52-mile track. His No. 14 car does not have the greatest track record at the top level but did win last year in the Xfinity Series. That is something to at least keep […]

Ross Chastain One To Watch On Sunday At Kansas

Ross Chastain only qualified 11th on Saturday but had one of the quicker laps in practice and just missed out on the final round of qualifying. The result is the No. 1 Chevy being a racer to watch on Sunday. Consider that Chastain has seven top-five finishes already and two wins. Overall, he is fifth […]

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Michael Lorenzen kept his strong start to the season going on Saturday as he allowed one run over seven innings in a 9-1 win over the Athletics.

Ryan Blaney Fights Into Top Ten Qualifying Spot Saturday

Ryan Blaney and Kansas have kind of been like oil and water. They have not mixed well. On the other hand, the Ford driver scratched and clawed his way to a tenth place result on Saturday. He will start on the outside of Row 5 on Sunday. The question is now can he avoid the […]

Trevor Rogers Strikes Out Season-High Eight

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Trevor Rogers improved to 2-4 on the campaign Saturday night as his club defeated the Brewers 9-3.

Martin Truex Jr. Has Solid Qualifying Effort At Kansas

Martin Truex Jr. was not spectacular on Saturday, but he did not have to be. He wound up ninth overall among all drivers finishing 0.537 seconds behind Christopher Bell.

Alex Bowman May Contend At Kansas On Sunday

Alex Bowman winds up qualifying in the top ten once more at Kansas for Sunday's race. His eighth place effort came in at just over 177.5 mph and 0.34 seconds behind Christopher Bell. The No. 48 Chevy wound up just ahead of Martin Truex Jr. on just enough sectors which was a mild surprise. Bowman […]

Zac Gallen Terrific Again On Saturday

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen had another impressive outing on Saturday despite settling for a no-decision in his club's 4-2 loss to the Cubs.

Aric Almirola Sneaks Up To Prime Qualifying Position Saturday

Aric Almirola has a history at tracks like Kansas. However, at Kansas, it has been a bit of a different story. He qualified seventh on Saturday just behind the Busch Brothers. His qualifying lap was almost 178 mph which probably was a good two more mph's than expected. The inevitable question is does his car […]

Kurt Busch Finds The Speed At Kansas Once More

Kurt Busch has some consistency at Kansas Speedway. Even with less than optimal race cars, the No .45 Toyota car can manufacture speed and acceleration in sectors quite well.

Christopher Bell Blows Doors Off In Qualifying Run Saturday

The expected result on Saturday was to see a Joe Gibbs Racing driver win the pole. The unexpected was seeing it be Christopher Bell. That is just what happened as Bell won every quarter in every sector en route to the pole for Sunday's AdventHealth 400. The Kansas Speedway may not have been too kind […]

Teammate Expects Deebo Samuel To Stay

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel remains on the roster, weeks after it was reported he wanted out.

General manager John Lynch remains confident he can get the 26-year-old to sign an extension. […]

Washington Nationals outfielder Yadiel Hernandez had a nice day at the dish on Saturday, driving in four runs as his club went on to defeat the Astros 13-6.

Marquise Brown Set For A Prominent Role

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown was traded from the Ravens on draft night. He's been a relatively reliable wideout over the years.

Mike Vrabel: Ryan Tannehill Not "A Mentor Or A Coach"

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill recently caused an uproar by stating it wasn't his job to mentor Malik Willis. A third-round pick, Willis was a highly coveted option ahead of the 2022 NFL Draft, with many projections having the former Liberty Flame going as early as the first round. However, while it appears the rookie […]
