Christopher Bell Has Little Upside At Phoenix

The good news is that Christopher Bell gets a top-five start on Sunday for the Instacart 500. The bad news is that the Joe Gibbs Racing driver just may not fare quite as well. He finished outside the top-15 in both races last season. The expectation is that Bell will fall out of the top-five […]

Martin Truex Jr. Enjoys Some DFS Upside Sunday

Martin Truex Jr. represents a risky DFS pick for the Instacart 500. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has had some car issues throughout the season. It has kept him from winning at least one race and maybe two. Starting fifth this week may be helpful. He has been in contention in six of the previous […]

Don't Expect Kyle Larson To Win In Phoenix

Kyle Larson does start from the second spot on Sunday for the Instacart 500. Last week, the Hendrick Motorsports driver found a way to not only win in Vegas but he won convincingly at the end. Could he do it again this week? The answer seems to be no based on the numbers but a […]

Chase Elliott Another Favorite At Phoenix on Sunday

Can Chase Elliott put it all together? The Hendrick Motorsports driver had a nice run going in Vegas until a spin-out ruined his day. Elliott has +600 odds to win the Instacart 500 on Sunday and one of the big reasons is he can rack up laps led. Elliott led a total of 246 laps […]

Kevin Harvick Should Improve Track Position At Phoenix

This is a track he excels at, winning nine times in 36 races. He has ended up in the top 10 15 consecutive times, including a dozen top-five results. Does he have […]

Denny Hamlin The Favorite To Win In Phoenix

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin is a very slight favorite (+500) to grab the checkered flag on Sunday in Phoenix. Hamlin starts in the third position and has enjoyed a mostly solid car all season. With four different winners on the season, could Hamlin be the fifth? He has the finishes at the track […]

Brad Keselowski Expected To Contend In Phoenix

Team Penske driver Brad Keselowski raced very well at Phoenix last year. In the spring race, Keselowski led 82 laps before a self-inflicted error got in the way. Keselowski nearly won the fall edition, as he finished in second after starting in third place. This time around, he starts from the pole. That means he […]
