Chris Buescher Not Likely To Be Factor At Darlington

Chris Buescher was a victim of an unfortunate circumstance last week at Kansas. If not for some caution craziness, he may have easily finished in the top five or won. Buscher led 13 laps in the Roush Fenway Racing car. This week features a track that has not been kind to him in the past. […]

Tyler Reddick A Risky Choice At Darlington On Sunday

Tyler Reddick only raced on the Darlington track in 2020 so there are only three races to lean on. The first installment in the Spring showed that the Richard Childress Racing driver had the ability to contend. He finished seventh. However, the other two races saw Reddick not improve much on positioning (just one spot […]

Austin Dillon An Intriguing Option At Darlington On Sunday

Austin Dillon starts ninth on Sunday for the Goodyear 400. At Darlington in 2020, the Richard Childress Racing driver had a bit of an adventure. However, the final race saw him nearly take home the checkered flag. He finished in second place and simply ran out of time. Can Dillon come close to duplicating that […]

Matt DiBenedetto Might Have Favorable Result At Darlington

Matt DiBenedetto may be one of the best drivers right now that few know about. The Wood Brothers Racing driver has enjoyed top-ten finishes for the first time in his career. Furthermore, he starts eighth this week for the Goodyear 400. In eight appearances, DiBenedetto delivered two top ten results. The No. 21 does not […]

Chase Elliott A Wildcard At Darlington On Sunday

Chase Elliott could finish anywhere on Sunday at Darlington. He starts in sixth and the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has the ability to take the checkered flag. The problem is that he finished fourth, 38th, and 20th in 2020 on the 1.366-mile track. Elliott led 114 laps in the Fall race before falling back due […]

William Byron May Stay Near Front Sunday At Darlington

William Byron gets a fortunate fifth-place start on Sunday and showed some potential last year. He finished fifth in the Fall race at Darlington. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has only led three laps in five appearances but showed the ability to get into the top ten and stay near there in 2020. The No. […]

Wade Miley Throws No-Hitter

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Wade Miley threw a no-hitter in a 3-0 win over the Cleveland Indians on Friday.

Martin Truex Jr. In Better Position To Win At Darlington

Martin Truex Jr. had one of the fastest cars at Darlington in 2020 but could not finish the race despite three chances. He finished sixth and tenth in the first two installments. Then, in the Fall race, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver led 196 laps but a bit of bad luck forced him back to […]

Kyle Busch Expects To Stay Around Contenders At Darlington

Kyle Busch broke into the win column last week at Kansas on his birthday in the Buschy McBusch 400. This week, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver starts from the third position and should be able to stay around or near the front of the race. The younger Busch has 12 top-ten results in 18 races […]

Brad Keselowski A Decent Option At Darlington

The problem may be that Brad Keselowski starts from the pole on Sunday for the Goodyear 400. There is good news. The last time he started from the top was last May and he led 80 laps before finishing 13th. In the second installment, the Team Penske driver had a fourth-place result. While he truly […]

Kevin Harvick Starts In Row 1 Looking To Win At Darlington

The metrics were kind to Kevin Harvick this week as he starts second on Sunday at the Goodyear 400. His Stewart-Haas Racing car arguably should be the favorite (+700 to win) at Darlington just based on recent results. Harvick knows how to race this track. Last week at Kansas, the driver simply ran out of […]

Denny Hamlin Expects To Contend Yet Again At Darlington

When does Denny Hamlin finally breakthrough? He is second on most betting sites at +550 to take the checkered flag on Sunday. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has been incredible on the 1.366-mile track with 13 top ten finishes and three wins in 17 appearances. His average career finish is 7.5 which is the lowest […]

Kyle Larson Odds On Favorite To Win At Darlington

Kyle Larson is a +400 favorite to win on Sunday at Darlington. A big reason for that is his consistency. Larson has finished in the top ten five out of six times on the track "too tough to tame". In his last four races at Darlington, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has led a total […]

Dwayne Bacon (SG, ORL): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Of course you won't believe this, because you won't, but I swear it is as true as it is you're reading it: Dwayne Bacon of all men has scored the 35th-most points in May through Friday.

Jaxson Hayes (C, NO): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: I am positively convinced there is not a higher-upside play than adding Jaxon Hayes to your squad almost no matter which type of league you're still managing in.

Raul Neto (PG, WAS): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: I'm here to celebrate the Wizards making it to the play-in this season. I guess the Russ haters out there will have to eat the L... The Wiz are pretty much locked into the mini-tourney and will face the Pacers in it, only […]

Bryn Forbes (PG/SG, MIL): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of leagues ANALYSIS: All of a sudden, Milwaukee is the second-best team in the East. Say what!? That's right, folks. Kind of, at least. The Bucks and the Nets are tied for the second spot with an equally nice 43-24 record each. But the Bucks, good […]

Ty Jerome (PG/SG, OKC): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: Always keep an eye on under-the-radar, low-maintenance players widely available out there, folks. The Thunder tanking effort has been sublime, as OKC has gone a stupid 1-19 in their past 20 games going all the way back to Apr. 2. LOL. That some […]

Kent Bazemore (SG/SF, GSW): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Warriors are, miraculously, this close to making it to the play-in as a top-8 seed, which means they are closer than ever to making the postseason pretty much on the ridiculous performances from Stephen Curry. That's cool and expected, but what about Golden […]

Kenyon Martin Jr. (SF, HOU): Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 29% of leagues ANALYSIS: There could be safer moves to make for the last week of the season, but if you're still fighting for something entering the last week of play, KJ Martin is looking as a monster-add for anyone managing in deep leagues stretching the competition […]
