Tony Finau Should Improve At Travelers
Tony Finau entered last Thursday morning with a decent chance to contend at the US Open. He walked out of Torrey Pines South Friday evening missing the cut. Shooting 74 on Thursday was not bad but the 76 on Friday was. It left Finau scratching his head plenty. Maybe The Memorial was a harbinger of […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoAdam Scott Could Stick Around At Travelers
Adam Scott has had a bit of an adventure in 2021. Last week, he was up and down with a 75 in Round 2 and Round 4 derailing his weekend. It was not a complete loss but Scott wound up 35th whereas shooting even-par might have kept him at least in the top 20. The […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoPatrick Reed Might Contend At Travelers If He Starts Well
Patrick Reed has kind of been the opposite of most of the top golfers lately. He has started slowly in tournaments before coming on either on Saturday or Sunday. Last week, Reed was okay until Sunday when he fired off a 67 to backdoor himself into a tie for 19th result at the US Open. […]

Bryson DeChambeau was set up for an excellent finish at the US Open, but then disaster struck. That seemed to be a bit of a theme from last Sunday. He shot a final-round 77, falling right out of the top 20 (T26). Since March, DeChambeau has had a bit of a rough time. He had […]

It was a rough Sunday for Dustin Johnson. He shot a final-round 74 and nearly finished out of the top 20 at the US Open. While the tied for 19th result was not horrible, it dropped him to second in the world rankings. That has been kind of a pattern lately for Johnson who missed […]

Chris Wassel 4 years agoKevin Harvick Posts Top Five Result at Ally 400
Kevin Harvick was the second-best Stewart Haas Racing driver on Sunday just behind Aric Almirola. However, that was good enough for a fifth-place finish at Nashville. Harvick's Ford was not catching the Chevy's either but this was his best result in six races. That seemed to be a theme on Sunday as several previously struggling […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoAric Almirola Took Pole then Fourth Place at Nashville
Aric Almirola shocked a few people with his pole qualifying run on Sunday morning then he proceeded to back it up. Almirola nabbed a fourth-place result at the Ally 400 which was a season-best. It had been a long struggle all season for the No. 10 Ford. Even with the finish, Almirola felt he could […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoWilliam Byron Consistent Again, Results in Third Place At Nashville
William Byron almost had enough to make it a 1-2 finish for Hendrick Motorsports Racing. In the end, Ross Chastain got around him and pulled away. Nonetheless, the No. 24 car ended up in third. That was not a bad result at the Ally 400. Byron rallied from the rear of the field to 17th […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoRoss Chastain Found Way Up Field, Finished Second At Nashville
Ross Chastain drove a great race tactic-wise and even passed William Byron to boot. In the end, he was caught in no man's land but finished second place to Kyle Larson. Chastain did trim Larson's lead to just over four seconds but could get no closer. The No. 42 Chevy even pulled away from Byron […]

This was just something one did not expect from the Chase Elliott car but it happened. The No. 9 car was indeed disqualified Sunday evening for having five loose lug nuts on one tire. That's right. All five lug nuts were not on properly. Elliott even lost the points from the Stage 1 win and […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKyle Larson Wins Third Straight Race, This Time At Nashville
Kyle Larson has been unstoppable for the last month and was again at Nashville on Sunday. He won the Ally 400 by more than four seconds over Ross Chastain. The victory almost gave Larson the outright Cup Series lead. However, Denny Hamlin holds on to it for now with a nine-point edge. The No.5 car […]

Chris Wassel 4 years agoNASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Ally 400 - Monkey Knife Fight
Sunday afternoon features the Ally 400 from Nashville Superspeedway just outside of Nashville. 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 […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoAustin Dillon May Have Potential at Nashville
Depending on where he qualifies on Sunday, Austin Dillon definitely has some solid potential at the Ally 400. Dillon quietly is up to 12th in the points standings and appears to be entrenched in the chase despite only one top-five finish (third at Daytona). The Richard Childress Racing driver has been fairly consistent though. Dillon […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoAric Almirola Not to be Trusted at Ally 400
Aric Almirola may be practicing a little better at Nashville but on race day, little has gone well for the Stewart Haas Racing driver. Almirola has five DNF's in 16 races this season and too many poor finishes. This includes placing 15th or worse on every track since Talladega. Even at Charlotte where he had […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoErik Jones Having Issues at Speedway Tracks Like Nashville
Erik Jones has been having problems lately with speedway tracks of the 1-2 mile variety. Nashville is a 1.33-mile course and Jones basically had been having issues even running five laps in practice. The Richard Petty Motorsports driver fared better on the two road tracks recently (16th and 11th) over speedway courses. Jones has finished […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChristopher Bell Needs Better Result At Nashville
Things are getting dicey as far as Christopher Bell making the playoffs. He has fallen from 11th to 15th in the point standings. Also, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver's best finish since Talladega is 14th at Darlington. That is eight consecutive results outside of the top ten and four in a row beyond the top […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKurt Busch An Interesting Commodity At The Ally 400
Kurt Busch has little to lose other than to try and win races at this point. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver had a +13 place differential at Kansas and a +15 place differential at Dover. He even finished sixth after starting 30th at Sonoma while leading eight laps. His approach does have risks as his […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoRyan Newman's Struggles Expected To Linger At Nashville
Ryan Newman over the last month has finished outside the top 20 every single race. The prospects for this week's Ally 400 are not much better. Newman has struggled with a variety of issues and yet has not crashed. The Jack Roush Racing driver does not have the speed or grip to compete with anyone […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoDaniel Suarez Has Some Upside At Nashville
Daniel Suarez has not been too bad on intermediate tracks this season. That includes a ninth at Dover (+15 place differential). Also, there was a 15th at Charlotte and an 11th at Kansas (+10 place differential). The Trackhouse Racing driver could do well at the 1.33-mile track for Sunday's Ally 400. Even at Sonoma two […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoRicky Stenhouse Jr. A Risky Choice At Nashville
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. may not be someone to look at for the Nashville race on Sunday. He has not managed well at some of the intermediate tracks this season. Stenhouse Jr. even started second at Charlotte and dropped out of the top ten (12th). Things went worse at Kansas and Dover just to name a […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoMatt DiBenedetto Hopes for Kansas Like Result at Nashville
Matt DiBenedetto is still on "The Chase" bubble as he is 17th in points still entering this week's Ally 400. The Wood Brothers Racing driver has led just two laps since Talladega. Talladega and Kansas also produced DiBenedetto's only top-five results all season. He has struggled quite a bit since finished 18th or worse in […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoMichael McDowell Looking For Good Finish at Nashville
It has been a struggle for Michael McDowell aside from a 7th at Austin. The Front Row Motorsports driver has been nowhere near the front row for most of the last two months. He did win at Daytona but has only led 13 laps all season. Furthermore, he did not finish on the lead lap […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoTyler Reddick Could Rack Up Another Top Ten at Ally 400
Tyler Reddick has fared quite well at these speedway tracks of late. He finished 7th at Kansas, 8th at Dover, and even 9th at Charlotte. The Richard Childress Racing driver even had three different builds to contend with and still managed top ten results. He even led six laps at Charlotte. Laps led is not […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoBubba Wallace Showing Decent Potential for Nashville
Bubba Wallace gradually is getting better at maintaining track position with the 23XI car. He started 18th and 15th the past two races and finished 14th both times. Aside from the early crash at Austin, Wallace has three top-15 results in his last four races. The No. 23 ride has had a rough season but […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoRyan Blaney Not Expected to Excel at Ally 400
The Ryan Blaney car has been okay but nothing spectacular. He has no top-five finishes since his win at Atlanta. That is a span of ten races. The Team Penske driver led 157 laps at Martinsville and then misfortune occurred. Since then, Blaney has led some laps here and there but has barely contended for […]

Brad Keselowski finished third at Kansas after starting on the pole. Since then, the driver has struggled particularly late in races as his failed track position gambles have mostly failed. The result has been five outside top ten finishes for the Team Penske driver. He will be on a new team next year but Keselowski […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoJoey Logano Could Hang Around At Nashville
Joey Logano has had one strange racing season for Team Penske. Logano's only win came on the Bristol dirt track but did have one of his best runs at Dover finishing fifth. The Team Penske driver can run well on this 750 hp package but the only question will be the hybrid tire mix on […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKevin Harvick May Struggle a Little at Nashville
Kevin Harvick has not had an easy month of it. The All-Star race was not the greatest and then the crash at Austin (37th), a 22nd at Sonoma, and just a tenth at Charlotte. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has not led a lap since Darlington (ten laps). Harvick has only led laps in three races […]
