Kevin Harvick Has History On His Side At Phoenix

Kevin Harvick probably did not expect to qualify 16th for Sunday's race at Phoenix. However, that is where the No. 4 Ford will start. Two of his teammates are in the top ten but Harvick has won at Phoenix. Lately, he has finished in the top ten all six times since 2019. That is some […]

Kurt Busch Pushes Back Up To 15th For Sunday At Phoenix

Kurt Busch has had an interesting month for the 23XI Racing team. The elder Busch will start 15th for the Ruoff Mortgage 500 on Sunday. He does have a couple of top-ten finishes in his last six appearances at the 1.022-mile track. The combination of the Next-Gen car and the progressive banking may trouble those […]

Erik Jones May Struggle A Bit At Phoenix

Erik Jones qualified well at 14th for Sunday's Ruoff Mortgage 500. His practice run at times left a little to be desired. That is troubling for the race itself. Last week, Jones finished 31st after qualifying 23rd. Historically the Petty GMS Motorsports car has not looked the greatest on this Phoenix track. Maybe, the progressive […]

Austin Dillon Joins Tyler Reddick In Top 15 For Phoenix

Austin Dillon joined his Richard Childress Racing teammate, Tyler Reddick, with a 13th-place qualifying effort for the Phoenix race on Sunday. Dillon turned in a lap speed of 131.579 mph. The No. 3 Chevy did not appear to have any major issues during practice or qualifying. Dillon got edged out by Kyle Larson at Fontana […]

Tyler Reddick Starts 12th On Sunday For Ruoff Mortgage 500

Tyler Reddick leads the charge from Richard Childress Racing on Sunday after qualifying 12th. The No. 8 Chevy was right up with the top cars in the sessions on Saturday but a few failed issues during pre-race inspection will cost him preferred pit position. That may not seemingly mean much but sometimes it can. Reddick […]

Kyle Busch In Decent Position For Phoenix

Kyle Busch is at least in a pretty reasonable position for the Phoenix race on Sunday. While usually one of the top five drivers wins this race lately, the Next-Gen car opens up the possibility of a win coming from almost anywhere. It boils down to the effectiveness of the car. The No. 18 Joe […]

Joey Logano Brushes Wall Again At Phoenix

Joey Logano was setting himself up for a top qualifying run on Saturday. His practice sessions were pretty quick and the No. 22 car was entrenched into the final round. Then, disaster struck err nearly struck again. For the second time in the past three races, Logano had to try and save his car. He […]

Alex Bowman Not Backing Down In Qualifying

Some believed Alex Bowman backed into another victory last week at Las Vegas. However, Bowman, who finds ways to win and lead some laps too, qualified ninth for Sunday's Phoenix race. He lost a little bit of speed around turns 3 and 4 to finish 0.193 seconds behind Ryan Blaney. Bowman tested among the five […]

Austin Cindric Near The Front Again For Sunday

Austin Cindric is a rookie in the top tier of NASCAR. Cindric qualified eighth for Sunday's race at Phoenix Raceway. The Team Penske driver was one of the fastest, right behind Ryan Blaney during the shared practice session. He made it to the final round of qualifying with a real shot at the pole. Though […]

Kyle Larson Starts From Rear On Sunday At Phoenix

Kyle Larson's car sped around the track with ferocity throughout Saturday afternoon. However, his seventh-place qualifying effort was marred a bit when some non-sanctioned repairs had to be made on the No. 5 car. Steering issues were cited as the culprit for the Hendrick Motorsports driver. Larson has performed exceedingly well at Phoenix with the […]

Chase Briscoe Has Interesting Adventure At Phoenix

We expected Kevin Harvick to be up this high after qualifying on Saturday, but insteada it was Chase Briscoe. Briscoe qualified sixth, just a mere eight-thousandths of a second behind teammate Aric Almirola. The No. 14 Ford did well enough in practice but suffered a cracked brake rotor after reporting a massive shake in the […]

Aric Almirola Has Value Again At Phoenix

Aric Almirola rounded out the top-five qualifiers for Sunday's race at Phoenix Raceway. The Ford driver took 27.276 seconds to get around the 1.022-mile circuit. He was not the only Stewart-Haas Racing car to look quick in the middle of the progressive banks. However, he was the faster of the two. Almirola narrowly beat out […]

Christopher Bell Sets Up Well For Phoenix

Christopher Bell has undeniably had some awful luck the first month of this 2022 NASCAR season. However, he qualified fourth for Sunday's Ruoff Mortgage 500. Bell has a knack for performing pretty well on this type of track. He wound up literally a thousandth of a second behind William Byron for third-fastest car on Saturday. […]

William Byron Leads Hendrick Cars In Qualifying

William Byron narrowly missed out on the front row by qualifying third for the Ruoff Mortgage 500. Byron turned in a lap of 27.216 seconds. Byron's car was fastest in a couple of the sectors but seemed to back off a bit around Turn 4. That was just enough of a difference. The No. 24 […]

Denny Hamlin Shows Something In Qualifying At Phoenix

Maybe Denny Hamlin took what happened last week personally. Maybe Hamlin was dogging it a bit in the practice session. Whatever it was, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver looked great in qualifying. He ended up second and will start on the front row Sunday next to Ryan Blaney. Hamlin's 27.2 second lap came up just […]

Ryan Blaney Snags Pole At Phoenix

Ryan Blaney sped his way to the pole position for Sunday's race at the Phoenix Raceway. Blaney thought he was a little slow in Turn 4 but had enough cushion. He supplanted Denny Hamlin by a whisker. His 132.709 mph lap cemented what most saw in the practice session where Team Penske ruled the roost […]

Matt Duchene Scores Two Goals In Loss

Nashville Predators forward Matt Duchene finished with two goals and an assist in Saturday's 7-4 loss against the Blues. Duchene's two-goal effort gives him 31 on the season, which gives him the most among Predators skaters.

David Perron Scores Twice Against Predators

St. Louis Blues forward David Perron scored two goals in Saturday's 7-4 victory against the Predators. Perron found the back of the net on an early first period power-play and then scored his second of the contest on an empty net late in the third period to give the Blues their sixth goal of the […]

Jordan Kyrou Contributes Three Assists In Victory

St. Louis Blues forward Jordan Kyrou finished with a trio of assists in Saturday's 7-4 victory against the Predators. The 23-year-old assisted both goals by forward Robert Thomas and added another one on forward Brandon Saad's first period goal. Kyrou needs to be started across all fantasy formats as the talented young forward leads the […]

John Collins Uncertain For Meeting With Indiana

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (finger, foot) is questionable for Sunday's showdown with Indiana. Collins has played sparingly since returning from a seven-game absence because of a right foot sprain, so it appears that the team will take the cautious approach with having him in the lineup moving ahead. Nevertheless, if the big man can't […]

Craig Smith Leads The Way For Boston With Two Goals Saturday

Boston Bruins winger Craig Smith netted two goals in a 3-2 victory over Arizona Saturday. Smith, on the season, has 13 goals and 14 assists in 51 contests for the Bruins. The Madison, Wisconsin native typically skates on the right-wing for the Bruins third line. However, he is not an essential player in fantasy as […]

Robert Thomas Totals Four Points In Victory

St. Louis Blues forward Robert Thomas scored two goals and added two assists in Saturday's 7-4 victory against the Predators. Thomas recorded his second consecutive two-goal contest, following Thursday's multi-goal game against the Rangers. In his fourth NHL season, Thomas has totaled career-best numbers across the board with 12 goals, 36 assists and 48 points […]

C.J. McCollum Remains Out On Sunday Night

New Orleans Pelicans guard C.J. McCollum won't play on Sunday against Houston while he continues to adhere to the league's policy surrounding COVID-19. The former Trail Blazer wasn't available on Friday evening versus Charlotte, nor was Brandon Ingram (hamstring). As a result, Devonte' Graham got the start, finishing with 19 points, seven assists, and three […]

Artemi Panarin Explodes For Five Points Saturday

New York Rangers winger Artemi Panarin earned a goal and added four helpers in a 7-4 victory over the Dallas Stars. The Russian winger now has nine points in the last five Rangers games. Panarin has been an essential piece to the Rangers success in netting 16 goals and 52 assists in 53 contests. He's […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Questionable Against Boston

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (arm) is questionable leading up to Sunday's game in Boston. The 28-year-old didn't play on Friday against the Rockets because of a right arm contusion. Jalen Brunson (thigh) also carries the same injury designation, so Josh Green, who had 10 points, four steals, and two blocks versus the Rockets, Reggie […]

Elias Lindholm Collects Power-Play Goal Saturday

Calgary Flames centerman Elias Lindholm notched his 30th goal of the season as the Flames shut out Detroit 3-0 on Saturday. Lindholm's marker came on the power play in the first period. The Boden, Sweden, native has 30 goals and 32 helpers in 57 contests. He's been an essential player for Calgary down the stretch, […]

Obi Toppin Questionable On Sunday

New York Knicks forward Obi Toppin (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's battle with the Nets. The 24-year-old has missed five games because of a strained left hamstring, so if he can't go versus Brooklyn, Jericho Sims and Taj Gibson may continue to benefit. However, neither man is worth much for fantasy managers […]
