Kyle Larson The Guy To Beat At Homestead

Kyle Larson is the favorite to win this weekend's Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Tyler Reddick An Easy DFS Pick This Weekend

Tyler Reddick has amazing upside in DFS this weekend, as the 23XI Racing driver qualified back in 20th for Sunday afternoon's Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Reddick is the defending race winner at Homestead and is one of the elite "rim rider" drivers in the series--which is the fastest way to get around […]

Ryan Blaney Should Be Strong At Homestead

Look for Ryan Blaney to contend for the win at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday afternoon. The Team Penske driver had one of the best long-run cars in practice this weekend, as the No. 12 Ford ranked second behind Kyle Larson in 30-lap average. Additionally, Blaney had a strong effort in qualifying, laying down a lap […]

Chase Elliott Could Contend At Homestead

It has been 33 races since Chase Elliott won a NASCAR Cup Series race, but that could change at Homestead-Miami Speedway this weekend. The No. 9 Chevrolet was one of the best in the field here at Homestead last fall, as NASCAR's most popular driver led 81 laps en route to a fifth-place finish. That's […]

Ross Chastain Has Horrible Track Record At Homestead

Ross Chastain finished second here at Homestead-Miami Speedway in 2022, but other than that, his track record leaves much to be desired. In his five other starts at the 1.5-mile track, the "Melon Man" has four results of 31st or worse along with a 17th-place finish in 2021. So, the question now becomes, is his […]

AJ Allmendinger Tied For Best Average Finish At Homestead In Next Gen Era

When it comes to AJ Allmendinger, we mainly think about him when the NASCAR Cup Series visits a road course track, but you need to keep him in the conversation at Homestead-Miami Speedway, too.

Chase Briscoe Finally Finds Some Speed, Qualifies Fourth At Homestead

After a promising fourth-place finish in the season-opening Daytona 500, it has been a bit of a struggle for Chase Briscoe and his new No. 19 team at Joe Gibbs Racing, as they haven't finished better than 14th in the month of racing since then. This week at Homestead, though, there appears to be a […]

Austin Dillon Has Excellent Track Record At Homestead

Even though he qualified back in 30th for this weekend's Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Austin Dillon should be on your radar for a solid finish on Sunday.

Justin Haley Hoping For A Better Result At Homestead This Time

The last time the NASCAR Cup Series was at Homestead-Miami Speedway, Justin Haley had a day to forget.

Malik Monk Unavailable On Saturday

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Monk was a late addition to the injury report and will now sit out due to an illness. The absence of Monk should mean increased roles for Devin Carter and Keon Ellis on Saturday. Ellis has the […]

Tre Jones To Miss At Least Two Weeks

Chicago Bulls guard Tre Jones (foot) is going to be sidelined for the next few weeks. The team announced that Jones is set to miss at least the next two weeks after suffering a left foot sprain on Thursday. This is a tough blow to the Bulls who are already without Lonzo Ball (wrist) and […]

Connor Norby Makes Early Exit On Saturday

Miami Marlins infielder Connor Norby (side) was forced to exit early during Saturday's spring training contest.

Nolan Jones Traded To Guardians

Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones has been traded to the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday. Jones was scratched ahead of Saturday's contest, so now that makes sense why he was benched. The 26-year-old will head to Cleveland in exchange for infielder Tyler Freeman. The Guardians can't be exactly sure what they will be getting with Jones. […]

Zach Carter Returning To Las Vegas

Per the team, defensive lineman Zach Carter is re-signing with the Las Vegas Raiders. They have not revealed the details of the deal.

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Caleb Durbin has been optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.
