Ryan Blaney May Struggle At Bristol
There is a little cause for concern when it comes to Ryan Blaney at Bristol on Saturday night. For one, his last three races on the track have been shaky to say the least. The odd part is the race he crashed out, the Team Penske driver was running the best he ever had. As […]

Kyle Larson Can Contend At Bristol
Kyle Larson has little to race for as he has already advanced to the Round of 12 in the NASCAR playoff chase.

Joey Logano An Intriguing Possibility At Bristol
Joey Logano, like Denny Hamlin, could lead a lot of laps at Bristol. He could win or he could falter quickly. That is the nature of the beast with the short 0.533-mile track. Laps are typically 15 seconds or less. Things happen quickly. Logano has three top-ten finishes over his last six appearances at the […]

Denny Hamlin A Mixed Bag At Bristol Of Late
Denny Hamlin has quite the race sheet when it comes to Bristol. There is a chance he could win the race or finish out of the top-15 with ease. Last year, he led 131 laps in the early race but car problems knocked him down to 17th. The summer race featured even worse car trouble […]

Martin Truex Jr. Somewhat Risky At Bristol
Martin Truex Jr. starts from the pole on Saturday night at the Bass Pro Shops Night Race from Bristol. The expectation is that he will not lead all that many laps. Aside from the dirt race, Truex Jr. has not finished in the top ten on the track since an eighth in 2017. There have […]

Lanto Griffin Unlikely To Be A Major Player
Lanto Griffin has struggled to make putts and put together runs in 2021. He shot 10-under or better in just three tournaments all year, and two of those were in January. In too many weeks, Griffin missed cuts because he just could not play consistently enough. His overall putting when it comes to strokes gained […]

Brendan Steele Looking To Find His Game
Brendan Steele has struggled mightily, and that is being kind. His last top finish was at the Zurich Open in April, and that was five months ago. Since then, it has been a struggle just to make the cut, and Steele even missed four cuts in five tournaments at one point. He did not finish […]

Harry Higgs A Good DFS Option At Fortinet Championship
Harry Higgs averages 4.06 birdies a round. That was good for 33rd on tour in 2021 as the New Jersey native could make things interesting if his putter continues to work. His last three appearances have brought his putting up to 56th on tour. If Higgs can drive the ball somewhat straight, he really could […]

Chez Reavie A Dangerous Option At Fortinet Championship
Chez Reavie did not have a good spring, and his FedEx Cup playoff was cut short when he missed the top 30 after The Northern Trust.

His overall strokes gained of 1.194 ranked 17th on tour. Furthermore, he does […]

Cameron Tringale A Bit Dicey For Fortinet Championship
Cameron Tringale started at the BMW Championship and finished with bad results at the previous two tournaments in the FedEx Cup playoffs. Stumbling out of the blocks, Tringale never really recovered and finished way behind the leaders at just five-under. He is an average driver off the tee, so the shorter course this week should […]

Kyle Larson Rough Night, Still Finishes Sixth at Richmond
Kyle Larson led just eight laps the entire night as his car just never had it from almost the start at Richmond. It was just one of those nights where the horsepower was not there. He drove well enough to finish in sixth and pretty much cement a spot in the Round of 12. The […]

Denny Hamlin Ends Up Second At Richmond
Denny Hamlin was in the middle of a 1-2-3 Joe Gibbs Racing sweep on Saturday night as the No. 11 led the most laps with 197. The problem was the final laps as Martin Truex Jr.'s car was just faster in that run. It does not take away from a nice two-week run and start […]

Corey LaJoie Long Shot Chance at Top 15 Result
Corey LaJoie has shown over the past several weeks that he can achieve some decent place differential. Since Pocono that has been the case and LaJoie's gained 10, 17, and 10 positions respectively in the past three races he has finished. That was despite a late crash at Daytona. The No. 7 car could thrive […]

Chris Buescher One to Look at Even at Richmond
Chris Buscher technically has consecutive top ten results currently. He was disqualified at Daytona while running second. Those silly manifold spoiler differences can be a problem. That being said, the No. 17 car has finished in the top 20 nine of the past ten races now. The Roush-Fenway Racing driver does have top-16 upside with […]

Austin Dillon Looking Better As Richmond Approaches
Austin Dillon was in contention before the crash two weeks ago at Daytona then he responded with a top ten at Darlington. Dillon has been mostly pretty consistent result-wise this year.

Ross Chastain Could Build off Darlington Momentum
Ross Chastain was excellent at Darlington last week as he finished third. Do not overlook the driver at Richmond. He did finish 15th at the 3/4 mile track in the Spring. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver had a little more speed than expected late on the run at Darlington also. The No. 42 could definitely […]

Michael McDowell Not Expected to Do Well at Richmond
Michael McDowell qualified for the playoff chase mostly on the virtue of a few top-ten finishes and that win at the Daytona 500. The last eight races have seen the No. 34 car end up outside the top 20 every single time. He has three DNF's in his previous four races too. The last time […]
