Bubba Wallace Has Somewhat Troubling Run At Coliseum

Bubba Wallace had a better qualifying session on Saturday night and wound up 18th. However, the 23Xi Racing team is not having the best start to the season in Los Angeles. Kurt Busch was 32nd fastest on Saturday night and both cars looked slow in the qualifying session. Wallace's car may be more concerning because […]

Martin Truex Jr. Continues Troubling Week At Coliseum

Martin Truex Jr. has not had the best of weeks in Los Angeles. The Coliseum track just does not seem to suit him well. Given his history on short tracks, one would think the No. 19 car would be much closer to the top. That has not been the case. He qualified a mere 30th […]

Alex Bowman Starts Fourth In Heat 2 On Sunday At Coliseum

Alex Bowman qualified 14th on Saturday night and will be in the fourth position when Heat 2 gets underway Sunday afternoon. The No. 48 car had some nice moments in practice too but was a hair off from the top cars during that faster session. His runs were not quite as good as the top […]

Ryan Blaney Hangs Around 14 Seconds On Saturday

It did not seem that Ryan Blaney overdid it on Saturday in qualifying. He qualified 13th with a time of 14.002 seconds but looked like there was a bit more speed in the Team Penske Ford. The No, 12 car easily ran in the top-ten during practice and appeared to be one of the fastest […]

Michael McDowell Manages Nice Effort To Qualify 12th Saturday

Michael McDowell put himself in a decent position on Sunday with a 12th-place qualifying result on Saturday. He will be the third car coming out for Heat 4. That will give him the luxury of seeing others on the track and how they handle the 25-lap run. McDowell can be a bit of a risk […]

William Byron Starts In Heat 3 On Sunday At Coliseum

William Byron qualified 11th on Saturday night with a time of 13.973 seconds. He was one of only 12 cars to post a sub-14 second lap in the evening session. The No. 24 Chevy was in the middle of the pack during practice so maybe Byron is figuring out the track a bit better. Again, […]

Harrison Burton Not Far Off From Practice Run At Coliseum

One of the few drivers that was about as fast in qualifying as in practice was Harrison Burton. Burton qualified tenth for the heat races on Sunday with an average speed of 64.447 mph. His practice best was 65.114 mph. Again, there were a few minor bobbles in turns 2 and 4 for Burton. With […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Stays Upright During Nice Run Saturday

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. seemed quite fast in practice leading up to Saturday night's qualifying run. That panned out as Stenhouse Jr was ninth with a speed of 64.461 mph. If not for a late bobble, he may have qualified in the top-five. It is tough to pick these things out in a 14-second lap (give […]

Kyle Larson Tuning Up For Event At Coliseum On Sunday

Kyle Larson automatically qualified for the main event on Sunday in Los Angeles. This is because he won the title last season (most points). However, his No. 5 car looked pretty quick and he finished eighth in qualifying Saturday night. The Team Hendrick Motorsports car was seventh fastest in practice just 0.058 seconds off from […]

Chase Elliott Looks Strong In Advance of Sunday's Race

Chase Elliott qualified in seventh on Saturday night, just a few mph's slower than his practice session. That practice saw the No. 9 car at the top of the field. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has little to worry about in qualifying for the 23-driver main event. Elliott's runs in his 103 laps of practice […]

Cole Custer Finishes Well With Nice Qualifying Lap Saturday

Cole Custer will start from the second position in Heat 2 on Sunday afternoon from the Coliseum. Custer and his No. 41 Ford nearly edged out Daniel Suarez for 5th by the length of a credit card. Custer qualified sixth overall with an average lap speed of 64.502 mph. A strange quirk is that Suarez […]

Daniel Suarez Turns In Very Good Qualifying Lap Saturday

Daniel Suarez and Trackhouse Racing looked quite good on Saturday evening. Suarez qualified fifth just thousandths of a second behind Joey Logano for a top heat spot. The No. 99 car went around the track at a best speed of 64.507 mph. Suarez did run a lot of practice laps (106 in all). It seemed […]

Joey Logano Nabs Final Top Heat Spot At Coliseum

Joey Logano found himself again a couple of tenths of a second off the lead in the qualifying session on Saturday night. The difference this time translated to a fourth-place result for the No. 22 car. The Team Penske driver will lead Heat 4 on Sunday afternoon. In practice, Logano was just 26th with his […]

Justin Haley Surprises With Third-Place Qualifying Lap

Justin Haley had a fast car in practice on some of the runs, but as darkness fell on the Coliseum, he delivered a fast lap. How fast? Haley qualified third with a time of 13.891 seconds. That means he will be on the pole for Heat 3 on Sunday afternoon. For those wondering, Haley was […]

Tyler Reddick Edged By Kyle Busch For Fastest Time

Tyler Reddick got around the quarter-mile Coliseum track in 13.761 seconds on Saturday. That was second-fastest in qualifying and earned Reddick a top spot in Heat 2. Being near the front based on testing looks to be more optimal. The chances that Reddick will make the 23-driver field are very high. The No. 8 Chevy […]

Kyle Busch Sets Best Time In Qualifying Saturday

Kyle Busch held off Tyler Reddick by a little less than two-thousandths of a second to qualify in the top spot for Sunday's first heat race. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver still has to finish well enough to make the 23-driver field for the main event. Being in front is good with the short 25-lap […]

James Wiseman Begins Practicing With Teammates

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman (knee) began practicing with his teammates on Saturday. The sophomore hasn't played this season as he continues to recover from surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. While Wiseman hasn't been cleared for contact, it's a step in the right direction. Nonetheless, it's unknown how much […]

Ivica Zubac Questionable Against The Defending Champs

Los Angeles Lakers center Ivica Zubac (calf) is questionable for Sunday's meeting against the Milwaukee Bucks. He's missed his previous two games with right calf soreness, so if he can't go, Serge Ibaka will likely see an increase in playing time and possibly production. Ibaka had 20 points and eight boards against the Lakers on […]

Maxi Kleber Could Miss Second Consecutive Outing

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) has been labeled as questionable moving toward Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Hawks. Kleber is currently dealing with fluid in his left knee, an ailment that forced him to miss a game already. With Kristaps Porzingis (knee) already ruled out, Dwight Powell, who had 14 points, five rebounds, and […]

Furkan Korkmaz Questionable Ahead Of Meeting With Chicago

Philadelphia 76ers guard Furkan Korkmaz (knee) is questionable heading into Sunday's showdown with the Bulls. Korkmaz has missed his previous three games because of left knee soreness. Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) is also questionable, so if neither man can give it a go against Chicago, Danny Green will surely see an uptick in playing time (and […]

Matisse Thybulle Dealing With Shoulder Soreness

Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (shoulder) is questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup in Chicago. He's currently dealing with soreness in his right shoulder, and with Furkan Korkmaz (knee) carrying the same designation, Danny Green and Isaiah Joe may see some more work against the Bulls, although Green should be the preferred fantasy option between the […]

Austin Rivers Expected To Play On Sunday

Denver Nuggets guard Austin Rivers (hip) is expected to suit up on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran is currently dealing with tightness in his right hip flexor, although it doesn't appear to be too serious. Nonetheless, Rivers is averaging only 6.4 points this season, so his presence likely won't mean much or impact […]

Isaiah Jackson Out On Sunday

Indiana Pacers forward Isaiah Jackson (ankle) is out for Sunday's matchup versus Cleveland. Jackson tweaked his right ankle during Wednesday's bout against the Orlando Magic and could miss more time moving forward. Nonetheless, if Domantas Sabonis can return from his stint in health and safety protocols and Goga Bitadze (foot) can make it back from […]

Aaron Gordon To Return On Sunday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) is expected to return on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran has missed his previous two games because of left hamstring tightness, allowing Zeke Nnaji to get some additional work. Nnaji has logged at least 29 minutes while Gordon has been away, totaling 16 points, 14 rebounds, and […]

Goga Bitadze Questionable Versus Cleveland

Indiana Pacers center Goga Bitadze (foot) is questionable for Sunday's outing against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The big man has missed his previous four games because of right foot soreness. With Isaiah Jackson (ankle) out and uncertainty surrounding Domantas Sabonis' availability after he's been in health and safety protocols, Terry Taylor could continue to benefit. Taylor […]

Kawhi Leonard Not Expected Back This Season

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) may not play this season, according to head coach Ty Lue. "We know Kawhi is probably not going to come back," Lue said during a recent interview, although certainly, there remains a chance he could make it back, primarily if L.A. can advance deep into the playoffs. However, […]

De'Aaron Fox Out On Saturday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) won't play on Saturday versus the Thunder. Fox will now miss his eighth straight game because of left ankle soreness, so Davion Mitchell and Tyrese Haliburton should continue to handle most of the work out of the backcourt. Both men should be strongly considered for DFS contests as well […]

Giants Interview Jim Schwartz For Defensive Coordinator Job

The New York Giants are interviewing Tennessee Titans assistant Jim Schwartz for their defensive coordinator job. According to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network, New York is looking for an experienced coordinator. The 55-year-old is a three-time defensive play-caller in the NFL who had stints as a DC with Tennessee Titans, Buffalo Bills, and the […]

Saints Will Interview Eric Bieniemy For Head Coaching Job

The New Orleans Saints will interview Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy for the team's head coaching position on Sunday. His name has popped up before for multiple head-coaching opportunities, and he could finally get his shot in New Orleans to replace the recently retired Sean Payton. Bieniemy is an offensive extraordinaire and has […]
