A Recap of the Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium

Known as "The Madhouse," Bowman Gray Stadium has an unmatched reputation in stock car racing. It delivered all the chaos and excitement fans could hope for during the season's opening race, with NASCAR's most popular driver, Chase Elliott, getting the win after a dominating effort.

Despite the chaos that happened during the race, those who relied on RotoBaller's insights and predictive analytics saw their preparation pay off in a big way.

Jordan proved once again why he's a go-to resource for fantasy players and bettors looking for an edge. In addition to his exclusive algorithm predicting the race winner, Jordan wrote up four drivers in his DraftKings preview article, and all four of those drivers ended up in the winning lineup for the $50,000 top prize.
