Martinsville Is Austin Cindric's Best Short Track

Austin Cindric qualified 20th for Sunday's Martinsville race. Although he seems to be starting to become something of a weekly threat, Martinsville will probably be an exception to that. He did actually finish fourth in last fall's race, but unlike his No. 2 car predecessors Rusty Wallace, Kurt Busch, and Brad Keselowski, short tracks have […]

Eugenio Suarez Extends Home Run Streak To Three Games

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during their loss to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday evening. Suarez went deep in the final inning off Chicago closer Ryan Pressly. This home run also scored first baseman Josh Naylor. Through the first three games of the season, Suarez has gone […]

Kyle Busch's Short-Track Performance At Richard Childress Racing Is Pretty Dire

It took Kyle Busch seemingly forever to finally win his two Martinsville races in 2016 and 2017, but although he managed a remarkable eight straight top-five finishes (including those wins), he hasn't been so hot lately, especially with the Next Gen chassis. In the last 12 races, Busch has only led five laps at Martinsville, […]

If Brad Keselowski Has Any Speed Whatsoever, He's A Killer DFS Option

Brad Keselowski sits 30th in points and right now stands as 2025's biggest disappointment, as he has no top-10 finishes and two crashes and he hasn't even seriously contended anywhere with a best average running position this year of 20th in a year when Keselowski's teammate Chris Buescher has earned four top-10 finishes. These trends […]

Noah Gragson's Teammates Will Likely Outrun Him On Sunday

Noah Gragson qualified 24th at Martinsville. Although he lost positions in both of his first two starts here, he finished better than he qualified in both 2024 races, especially last year's fall race when he drove from 25th to 11th and unexpectedly beat all the other Stewart-Haas Racing cars. However, now he is driving for […]

Martinsville One Of Michael McDowell's Worst Tracks

Martinville is one of Michael McDowell's worst tracks, as he has never finished better than 14th, posted an average running position better than 18th, or led a lap at the paper clip. But now he has left his long-term home at Front Row Motorsports to switch to Spire Motorsports, where he qualified 15th and did […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Consistently Slow At Martinsville

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. qualified 34th at Martinsville, worst of all the established veterans in competitive cars. However, this isn't particularly a good track for him, as he has never led a lap and has only earned three top-10 finishes with an average finish of 24.1 despite only crashing once here. He did earn his best […]

Erik Jones Has Worst Qualifying Run At A Track That Already Wasn't His Best

Erik Jones has never been particularly good at Martinsville, as he has never led a lap and has only earned one top-10 finish in the 2021 fall race. Even in his years with Furniture Row Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing, his best finish was a mere 12th twice, and the only thing anyone remembers about […]

John Hunter Nemechek Has Fastest Legacy Car, But That's Not Saying A Lot

John Hunter Nemechek earned his best starting position at Martinsville by qualifying 16th on Saturday, but although he definitely looks a little better this year than last year, his Martinsville Cup Series performances have not been inspiring as his finishes and average running positions were actually worse last year for Legacy Motor Club than they […]

Riley Herbst Unlikely To Gain Enough Positions To Justify DFS Play

Riley Herbst qualified 35th at Martinsville, matching his car number in a race where his two 23XI Racing teammates Bubba Wallace and Tyler Reddick both qualified in the top 10. Herbst has never started a NASCAR Cup Series race at Martinsville before, but he was fairly consistent in the Xfinity Series despite hardly ever leading […]

Cody Ware Unlikely To Contend At Martinsville

Cody Ware qualified 36th at Martinsville on Saturday, beating only Casey Mears, who is returning after a long absence, and Burt Myers, who is making his debut. He has gained a few positions in all his previous Martinsville starts except for the 2019 spring race, when he had a brake failure. But Rick Ware Racing […]

Southern Modified Legend Burt Myers Makes Cup Series Debut At Martinsville

Burt Myers makes his debut in Sunday's Martinsville race for Team AmeriVet. Myers, the grandson of Billy Myers, a two-time Cup Series winner, has been one of the most prolific modified drivers in the South in the 21st century, winning 10 track championships at Bowman Gray Stadium and numerous modified titles -- most notably the […]

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Jesus Luzardo tallied 11 strikeouts across five innings of two-run ball en route to earning the victory over the Washington Nationals on Saturday.

Brandon Marsh Hits Three-Run Shot On Saturday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh went 3-for-5 with a home run during their 11-6 victory over the Washington Nationals on Saturday afternoon. Marsh would first hit two singles in the fifth and sixth innings. In the seventh, Marsh would take Orlando Ribalta deep on a three-run shot. This home run scored outfielder Nick Castellanos and […]

Andres Gimenez Launches Second Long Ball Of The Season

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Andres Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk during their loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday afternoon. Gimenez went deep in the bottom of the third off Baltimore right-hander Dean Kremer. His two-run shot scored shortstop Bo Bichette. After going deep just nine times last […]

In the second inning, Chisholm hit a line drive single to left field. He would eventually score on an Anthony Volpe home run. Later in the third, […]

Brock Purdy Dynasty Fantasy Football Outlook and Trade Value

Despite becoming the all-time leading passer for the Iowa State Cyclones, Brock Purdy wasn't a highly touted prospect due to his perceived lack of athleticism. The 49ers picked him with the final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, but Mr. Irrelevant quickly proved everyone wrong. In his first two years, he started in back-to-back NFC […]

This is the first time that Briscoe will not start a Martinsville race inside the top 10 since April 2022. In eight races at the site, Briscoe has five top-10 finishes and has yet to finish […]

Cole Custer Is A Legitimate Sleeper This Weekend

Don't overlook Cole Custer at Martinsville Speedway this weekend. Although the No. 41 team has gotten off to a very rocky start in 2025, "The Paperclip" is one of Custer's best tracks on the circuit--and he has speed this weekend. In six career starts at Martinsville, Custer has finished 23rd or better five times, and […]
