Ryan Blaney Could Inch Up And Provide Upside Sunday

Ryan Blaney is an interesting driver this week in Atlanta because he showed last year that the Penske Racing driver could contend on this 325-lap track. He finished fourth but honestly, could have won the race. The previous year he led 41 laps before running into trouble and finishing a lap down. Blaney starts in […]

William Byron Shows Less DFS Upside On Sunday

William Byron bounced around the track last Sunday in Phoenix but never led a lap. The possibilities exist that the Hendrick Motorsports driver could have the same fate this Sunday in Atlanta. Since the Daytona races, Byron won in Homestead and followed that up with two eighth-place finishes. He seems to carry the speed well […]

Christopher Bell May Show Some DFS Potential Sunday

Christopher Bell is bound to put it together one of these times on a speedway. He had a rather fast car last week in Phoenix but ended up ninth. The week before the Joe Gibbs Racing driver ended up seventh in Vegas. Oddly, he did not lead a lap in either race, and yet it […]

Kyle Larson Could Hang Around Top-Ten On Sunday

Kyle Larson was likely glad to get out of Daytona because the last three races have been a good bit better including the surprising win in Vegas. This is along with a fourth in Homestead and a seventh last week in Phoenix. The Hendrick Motorsports driver has shown a knack for hanging around the top-ten […]

Chase Elliott May Not Contend On Sunday In Atlanta

Though Chase Elliott had a better drive in Phoenix last Sunday, finishing 5th, he did not lead a single lap and only got close to the front every so often. In the final restart, Elliott was a non-factor. The Hendrick Motorsports driver did lead 26 laps last year in Atlanta but that was mostly aided […]

Joey Logano Should Be Good DFS Choice This Sunday

Joey Logano has the race car to lead some laps. He had everything set up at Phoenix and then had the rug pulled out from under him by Martin Truex Jr. Logano led 143 of the 312 laps before settling for second place. The Roger Penske Racing driver starts from the third position for the […]

Brad Keselowski Has A Chance To Win In Atlanta

Most tend to forget that Brad Keselowski has won two of the last four races in Atlanta. He starts from the fourth spot for the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 on Sunday. The key for Keselowski is to not repeat what happened last year where he got into some early trouble and could never truly […]

David Bednar Continues Dominant Spring Friday

Martin Truex Jr. Expects To Ride Momentum From Phoenix To Atlanta

Kevin Harvick Lurking In Atlanta, Odds On Favorite To Win

The demise of Kevin Harvick was greatly exaggerated as he charged into the top-ten at Phoenix last Sunday. He had the car and aerodynamics were mostly solid. Going into Atlanta, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver starts seventh but could easily move up. Harvick comes in with the best odds at 6 to 1. By no means […]

Denny Hamlin Starts On Pole, Expects To Contend Again

Denny Hamlin nabbed the pole position for Sunday's Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has enjoyed four top-5 finishes this year yet has not won a race. This is his second pole of the early campaign. He leads the Cup series and has also led at least 30 laps in three […]

Sam Hilliard Goes Yard On Friday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Deivi Garcia struggled with control on Friday as he walked four batters over three innings, but he escaped unscathed with no runs allowed.
