When is Clayton Kershaw Coming Back? Fantasy Baseball Injury Return Update

Clayton Kershaw just refuses to quit. The future Hall of Famer endured a "down" 2021 season in which he turned in a 3.55 ERA, a figure well above his current 2.48 career mark. However, he followed that up with a tidy 2.28 ERA and a 23.1% K-BB% across 22 starts in the 2022 season and... Read More

Michael McDowell Poised For Downturn After Leaving Front Row Motorsports

After announcing his departure from Front Row Motorsports to join Spire Motorsports in 2025 last week, Michael McDowell is now a lame-duck driver for both FRM and Ford. Since he is moving to a Chevrolet team and lame-duck drivers rarely receive as much in the way of factory support or setup notes (particularly if they... Read More

Carson Hocevar A Reliable Darlington Finisher In All Series

This year's rookie wunderkind Carson Hocevar has clearly overtaken Corey LaJoie to become the Spire Motorsports team leader, and he is coming to a track where he already has much experience and a consistent finishing record. Hocevar got his first finish in the NASCAR Cup Series there last year when he finished 17th for Legacy... Read More

Justin Haley Likely Needs Attrition To Contend At Darlington

Justin Haley qualified 28th for this weekend's race at Darlington, giving him his best starting position on an unrestricted superspeedway since he moved to Rick Ware Racing. Haley is a plodding, methodical driver who predictably finishes better than he starts almost every week, and Darlington will likely prove no exception. He has a better average... Read More

Chase Elliott Consistent At Darlington, But Has Never Led With Next Gen Chassis

Although Chase Elliott has never won at Darlington, he certainly had the speed to do so in both 2020 races when he led 142 laps despite crashing in both. However, those races both came with the Generation 6 chassis, and Elliott generally ran better with that chassis than the Next Gen chassis. Since the Next... Read More

Lack Of Speed Should Override Austin Dillon's Historical Consistency At Darlington

Although he's never led a lap at Darlington, it is one of Austin Dillon's most consistent tracks, as he has an average finish of 14.3 there, better than any other track the NASCAR Cup Series visits twice. His second-place finish in the 2020 Southern 500 was one of his best-ever drives. However, Dillon has struggled... Read More

Kyle Busch A Likely Top-10 Finisher, But Probably Won't Contend For The Win

Kyle Busch has had a wildly inconsistent 2024 season, as his runs on superspeedways and road courses have been consistently strong but he has been lackluster on tracks of one mile or less, much like his Richard Childress Racing predecessor Tyler Reddick. Busch only won at Darlington once in 2008 but he has consistently run... Read More

Harrison Burton Won't Add To Wood Brothers' Legacy On Throwback Weekend

Although the Wood Brothers have won eight times at Darlington (more than any other track except for Daytona and Michigan), Harrison Burton looks quite unlikely to add to that record this weekend, as he qualified 35th for the Goodyear 400 and was the slowest qualifier in the first qualifying group. He did get one of... Read More
