Chris Buescher Snakebitten In Home State

Chris Buescher, the methodical driver from Prosper, Texas, has seldom prospered at Texas. In 15 previous Texas starts, he has shockingly never finished better than 14th, making this the only track that has been on the schedule his entire Cup Series career where he has never earned a top ten. The only time he had […]

Shane Van Gisbergen's Oval Speed Has Not Improved

Shane van Gisbergen's learning curve has been more severe than most people expected. Despite driving a full-time chartered entry for Trackhouse Racing, he qualified 37th behind both Cody Ware and Jesse Love in a rare non-drafting track Beard Motorsports entry. It doesn't help that Trackhouse seems to have slower cars especially in qualifying than they […]

Drew Blickensderfer's Mediocrity At Texas Will Likely Hold Noah Gragson Back

Noah Gragson's top five at Talladega last week may have seemed surprising on the surface but it probably shouldn't have been since he finished third in the previous year's spring Talladega race and his crew chief Drew Blickensderfer had given three different drivers (Matt Kenseth, David Ragan, and Michael McDowell) Daytona wins. However, Texas is […]

Despite Winning In 2020, Austin Dillon Isn't Good At Texas

Austin Dillon qualified 19th at Texas on Saturday, outqualifying his teammate Kyle Busch. He did win here on a strategy play in 2020 in a race where his average running position was almost 14th, but that was with crew chief Justin Alexander, and he's always been worse without him than with him. Despite the win, […]

Despite 23XI Racing's Texas Speed, Riley Herbst Probably Isn't Worth Considering

It might initially seem tempting to look at Riley Herbst for DFS play since he costs only $5,300 and is driving for a 23XI Racing team that led the most laps with Bubba Wallace two years ago at Texas, especially since he only starts 21st. However, he is still a rookie and there was no […]

Beard Motorsports Makes Rare Non-Drafting Oval Appearance At Texas With Jesse Love

Jesse Love qualified 35th on Saturday at Texas in a rare non-drafting oval appearance for Beard Motorsports' No. 62 car. The team has a loose affiliation with Richard Childress Racing, and its last appearance outside the drafting ovals came at the Charlotte roval with Love's Xfinity Series teammate Austin Hill. The team is likely going […]

Chad Finchum Making First Cup Series Start of 2025

Chad Finchum makes his first start of the season in Sunday's race at Texas Motor Speedway. However, unsurprisingly since he is driving for Carl Long's Garage 66 team, Finchum qualified last place in 38th, and the gap in lap time between him and the second-slowest driver Shane van Gisbergen was greater than the gap between […]

John Hunter Nemechek Is A Solid Punt Option For Texas DFS Lineups

Legacy Motor Club's John Hunter Nemechek will start 28th for Sunday's Wurth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway.

In four races at the site, Nemechek has three finishes with positive Place Differential that […]

Is Zane Smith Worth Rostering At Texas?

Zane Smith of Front Row Motorsports obtained a starting position of 13th after qualifying for Sunday's Wurth 400 at Texas Motor Speedway. Smith's starting position for this week's race is a new career-best for him at Texas. In two previous starts at the site, Smith's best finish is 24th, where he gained positive Place Differential, […]

Cole Custer Is Too Much Of A DFS Risk For Texas Lineups

Haas Factory Team's Cole Custer will start 20th after qualifying for this week's race at Texas Motor Speedway, the Wurth 400. This is the first time this season that the No. 41 Ford driver will start in the top 20 in back-to-back races after starting 12th last week at Talladega. In four previous Cup starts […]

James Harden Struggles On The Scoring End On Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden had only seven points in Saturday's postseason loss to Denver. However, he made up for it by amassing 13 assists, two steals, and one block. Although Los Angeles couldn't advance to the Western Conference semi-finals to face Oklahoma City, Harden can look back on another quality year, averaging 22.8 […]

Nikola Jokic Leads Denver To A Game 7 Win

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic had 16 points in Saturday's series-clinching win over the Clippers. He added 10 boards, eight assists, three steals, and one block.

J.P. Crawford Hits Leadoff Homer In Win

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford went 1-for-5 with a home run in his team's 2-1 win over the Texas Rangers on Saturday. Crawford's lone hit at the dish came in the top of the first inning to lead off the game, a 100.3 MPH blast he pulled to the corner of right field, but that […]

Bailey Ober Goes Six Innings In Win Over BoSox

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Bailey Ober picked up his fourth win of the season in Saturday's 4-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox.

Manny Machado Cranks Third Home Run

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk, and a strikeout in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 32-year-old gave the Friars their first run of the game when he took Pirates pitcher Bailey Falter deep in the top of the seventh inning, spoiling his bid […]

Matt Chapman Crushes Grand Slam In Win

San Francisco Giants third baseman Matt Chapman came up clutch for his team during Saturday's game versus the Colorado Rockies.

Kevin Gausman Looks Excellent In No-Decision

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman had seemingly no issues on the mound during Saturday's start against the Cleveland Guardians. The right-hander gave up one hit and a walk, but was basically perfect outside of that. Gausman tossed six scoreless innings while striking out nine batters in what ended up being a no-decision. Well, […]

Taijuan Walker Moving To Bullpen

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Taijuan Walker is moving from the starting rotation into the bullpen, according to manager Rob Thompson. This was expected with left-hander Ranger Suarez (back) returning from the injured list this weekend. Walker was the odd man out, but Thompson did say the Phillies could go to a six-man rotation at some […]

Aaron Judge Blasts 11th Homer

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is on another planet at the plate right now. The reigning MVP crushed a homer off right-hander Zack Littell, which was his fourth in the last seven games.

Meyers would hit another blast in […]

Gleyber Torres Returning On Saturday

Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels.
