Scott Stallings Worth A Look This Week At John Deere Classic
Scott Stallings is a risky DFS pick this week at the John Deere Classic. It is the week before "The Open" and strange things often happen. Low scores are very common and driving accuracy is not necessarily needed on the course. The problem with Stallings is he cannot hit very far either (less than 298 […]

Chris Wassel 3 years agoDenny Hamlin Still Winless But Finishes Fifth at Road America
A victory in 2021 is just something that is extremely elusive to Denny Hamlin. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver started sixth on Sunday but improved by just one position. That was good enough for another top-five result. However, it was not the result the No. 11 expected. Frustration was very evident Hamlin had to pit […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKurt Busch Nabs Fourth Place on Sunday at Road America
Kurt Busch kept fighting the course all afternoon at Road America. He was rewarded for his persistence with a fourth-place result. The No. 1 Chevy took advantage of the Hendricks Racing misfortune and a favorable long run at the end of the race. The elder Busch surged to ninth after Stage 1 and just kept […]

Kyle Busch probably had one of the fastest race cars on Sunday at Road America but his car just could muster much late in the race. He faded considerably over the final 16 laps. First, he was passed by eventual winner Chase Elliott. Then, Christopher Bell passed him as well. In the end, he still […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoChristopher Bell Springs Up for Second Place at Road America
It was believed that Christopher Bell could do well at Road America. He had a winning pedigree with different racing cars on the track. He did not disappoint as the Joe Gibbs Racing driver surged into second place late after an impressive passing of Kyle Busch. The top four finishers at Road America on Sunday […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoChase Elliott Wins at Road America on July 4th
Chase Elliott found himself in a familiar place during a road race. He was at the front. Once the No. 9 car passed Kyle Busch on Lap 46, it was pretty much over. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver won his seventh road race in the last three seasons in a dominating performance. He won by […]

Chris Wassel 3 years agoNASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Jockey Made In America 250 - Monkey Knife Fight
Sunday afternoon features the Jockey Made In America 250 from Road America. Monkey Knife Fight has an extremely easy fantasy point system: 0.1 points for each lap led and then a set amount of points for their position (20 for 1st place, 19 for 2nd place, 18 for 3rd, and so on). Our friends at Monkey […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoTyler Reddick Okay Option at Road America
Tyler Reddick was right around the top ten all last weekend at Pocono. (11th and 9th). He did better at Austin but was still 19th at Sonoma despite some car issues. The Richard Childress Racing driver has had a solid season and is 13th in the points race. He has not finished worse than 20th […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoErik Jones a Solid Choice at Road America
Erik Jones has some positive results on road courses this year despite starting poorly. The Richard Petty Motorsports driver has a place differential of +23 at Daytona, +13 at Austin, and +7 at Sonoma. That indicates two things. He can improve track position even on not the most ideal road courses. Second, he likely does […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoBrad Keselowski A Decent Choice At Road America
It will depend a lot on where Brad Keselowski starts on Sunday at Road America but the Team Penske driver could surprise a bit. He did finish fifth on the Daytona road course and he was running near the top ten at times in Austin and even at Sonoma. His finishes were not close though. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoDaniel Suarez a Question Mark at Road America on Sunday
Daniel Suarez has finished in the top 15 five straight races now. The only question is where does he qualify on Sunday. Either way, there is some DFS value for the Trackhouse Racing driver. Suarez is even getting back into contention for "The Chase". He would likely need a big result, preferably a win. The […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKurt Busch Still Going For it at Road America
Kurt Busch did not have as good of a Sunday at Pocono but he does have three top ten results in his last four races overall (6th, 8th, and 6th). That does include a sixth at Sonoma where he ran into the top five often. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver has looked much better and […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAric Almirola Has Marginal Potential At Road America
Aric Almirola has had his share of awful luck this 2021 season. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver even led a lap a couple of weeks ago at Nashville on his way to a fourth-place finish. Almirola then followed that up with respectable 16th place results over the previous weekend at Pocono. It was not great but […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoChristopher Bell Not Expected to be Factor at Road America
Some will get hooked because of his Daytona road win but he finished outside the top 20 at Austin and Sonoma. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver should have a good car in theory but he may slip some spots because of a decent qualifying effort. That is the expectation anyway. The No. 20 has one […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoBubba Wallace an Intriguing Option at Road America
Bubba Wallace is definitely on an upswing over the last month and a half or so. The 23XI Racing driver has four top-15 results in his last five races. That includes a 14th at Sonoma and a fifth on Sunday at Pocono. In that race, Wallace even led three laps and was contending until the […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoA.J. Allmendinger One To Watch At Road America on Sunday
A.J. Allmendinger expects to qualify somewhere in the teens or lower 20's on Sunday. He finished fifth at Austin and seventh on the Daytona road course. The No. 16 car should be a good one to look at on Sunday especially with Allmendinger behind the wheel. He can drive a race car like Boris Said. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoMichael McDowell Carries Upside DFS Wise at Road America
If one tosses out the Sonoma result, Michael McDowell has two top ten results on road courses this year. His 7th at Austin was more impressive considering he started 23rd and the fact that the race was cut short. The No. 34 has a bit of a reputation of driving a bit recklessly, especially on […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRyan Blaney Tries to Build Off Pocono at Road America
Ryan Blaney has had just okay results on road tracks this year including a 17th most recently at Sonoma. However, he comes off a 5th and 6th at Pocono last weekend. The Team Penske driver enjoys success typically on road courses. His average finish the past three years is a solid 12.8. This is a […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAlex Bowman Expected to be Around Top Ten at Road America
Alex Bowman has two wins in his previous seven races. That includes six top-ten finishes. Two of those six were at Austin (8th) and Sonoma (9th). Bowman won the Saturday race at Pocono. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has shown more consistency over the past couple of months. Bowman even has managed an average finish […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoJoey Logano One to Watch at Road America on Sunday
Joey Logano has a knack for just performing well on road courses. In 2021, he has three top-five finishes (2nd at Daytona road, 3rd at Austin, and 4th at Sonoma). It is why he will be one to watch on Sunday. Again, at least see where he qualifies but the Team Penske driver could have […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKevin Harvick on Upswing Heading to Road America
Kevin Harvick is getting better results of late with four top-ten finishes in his last five races. That includes an eighth and fourth last weekend at Pocono. The only concern is that the Stewart-Haas Racing driver has not led a lap since Darlington. Normally, he is an excellent road option for DFS purposes but Sunday […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoWilliam Byron a Little Riskier Than Usual at Road America
William Byron could easily finish in the top ten on Sunday. However, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has had some odd luck at road courses the past two times out. He was near the front when he crashed at Sonoma. Then there was the 11th at Austin where his pit window and the rain did […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoMartin Truex Jr May Break Out Of Funk at Road America
Martin Truex Jr. led 19 laps on Sunday at Pocono and though he finished 11th, there was hope for the No. 19 for the first time since Sonoma. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver had not led a lap since Austin. Truex Jr had almost finished 18th or worse in five of the previous six races. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoDenny Hamlin Still Seeking First Win of 2021 Yet Leads Point Race
Denny Hamlin has not won a race yet this season. Last Sunday, he was right there and then ran out of gas just before the checkered flag at Pocono. He dropped to 14th as a result but barely maintained his points race lead over Kyle Larson. The Joe Gibbs Racing cars have looked better on […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoChase Elliott Favored to Win at Road America
Chase Elliott was carrying around +225 odds to win at Road America on Sunday. That is probably because he has six road wins in the last three seasons. Also, Elliott finished first at Austin and second at Sonoma. It really is almost automatic that he has to be considered. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing car has […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKyle Larson Could Win at Road America on Sunday
Kyle Larson had the winning formula last week at Pocono but blew a tire on the last lap. He finished ninth then second in the two races there. A few more laps might have given him the win on Sunday. That being said, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver is among the favorites at Road America. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKyle Busch Expects to Carry Momentum from Pocono to Road America
Kyle Busch comes off a weekend at Pocono where he finished second and then first. This put him up into the top five in the points race. Most will forget the Joe Gibbs Racing driver was contending at Sonoma before sliding back into fifth and led 12 laps at the shortened COTA race in Austin. […]
