Patrick Reed's Putting Should Help Him Contend At Colonial

Patrick Reed has a chance this week at Colonial almost simply because he hits the ball fairly straight and putts very well. It is the latter that will play a huge role in his four days at the Charles Schwab. Reed is second on the tour in strokes gained to putting at 0.993. Reed was […]

A.J. Allmendinger Not So Surprisingly Ends Up Fifth At Austin

A.J. Allmendinger was able to easily negotiate the on and off rain all afternoon at the Circuit Of The Americas. His car was certainly not the fastest but he appeared to be the most in control on the 3.41-mile-long track. The result was fifth place for the No. 16 Chevy. He did not lead any […]

Ross Chastain Takes Wild Ride To Fourth Place At Austin

Ross Chastain was all over the track on Sunday at the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix but wow did it look like one wild ride. The No. 42 led four laps in between pit windows and used every inch of the course in getting there. Again, he was someone that could have even contended for the […]

Joey Logano Led Most Laps, Settled For Third At Austin

Joey Logano had one of the fastest cars at Circuit Of The Americas this weekend. The problem was the rain. However, Logano did lead a race-high 14 laps, won Stage 1, and ultimately finished third on Sunday. The Team Penske driver might have had a shot at an even better result but one never knows. […]

Kyle Larson Finishes Second In Rain Soaked Austin Race

The good thing about a rain-shortened race is when one achieves a result few expect. Kyle Larson had been performing solidly during practice and qualifying. Few knew what it would be like on race day. The question was answered emphatically as Larson led four laps and had a shot of catching Chase Elliott if the […]

Chase Elliott Finally Wins His First Race In 2021

It was one crazy, rainy afternoon but Chase Elliott survived and found a way to lead at the right time at Circuit Of The Americas. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver only had to run 54 of the scheduled 68 laps. With all the standing water on the track and expected worsening conditions, the race had […]

NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: EchoPark Texas Grand Prix - Monkey Knife Fight

Sunday afternoon features the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix from Circuit Of The Americas. William Byron, Joey Logano, Kyle Larson, Kyle Busch, and Chase Elliott made up the top five from the rain-soaked Saturday practice session. Monkey Knife Fight has an extremely easy fantasy point system: 0.1 points for each lap led and then a set […]

Ryan Newman Disappointing In Practice, Not Likely Factor At Austin

Ryan Newman was 34th in practice at Austin on Saturday and lately has just been racing in poor form. The No. 6 Ford just appeared sluggish and slow. Maybe, Newman was just waiting to make adjustments but he has only finished on the lead lap in two of his last six races. Newman did get […]

Tyler Reddick A Risky Option At Austin On Sunday

Tyler Reddick did finish 12th in his only appearance on the Charlotte ROVAL and he has a few decent qualifying results under his belt. Reddick finished 3.18 seconds behind William Byron during the practice session Saturday morning. His Chevy looked pretty fast out there and appeared like there was some extra horsepower left to spare. […]

Austin Cindric Worth Keeping Eye On For Sunday At Austin

Austin Cindric got 11 laps of practice in on the Circuit Of The Americas track Saturday morning. His best lap was 18th overall about 3.1 seconds behind William Byron. The No. 33 Ford was in the top-15 comfortably and close to the top ten in the middle sectors and looked like he was saving something […]

Cole Custer Might Have DFS Upside Based On Early Austin Practice

Cole Custer handled the turns a lot better than projected in the first practice session on Saturday as he managed a 12th place result. The No. 41 Ford had moments where he was in the top ten in certain sectors -- particularly the middle portions of the track. Sometimes builds can perform a little differently […]

Michael McDowell Nabs Tenth In Practice, Might Have Daytona Form Sunday?

The only two top-tens-on-road courses for Michael McDowell are from the Daytona road course in 24 career races. He took his No.34 Ford around the track in just under 160 seconds which was almost 2.2 seconds behind William Byron. It will be interesting to see how McDowell fares in qualifying and ultimately racing in Sunday's […]

Chris Buescher Could Be Slight Factor At Austin On Sunday

Chris Buescher has enjoyed a pretty solid season as he is 14th in the Cup Series standings. He has a top-five and top-ten finish in 14 races for Roush Fenway Racing. The No. 17 Ford managed a solid 11th place morning practice session on Saturday and that may be no fluke. Buescher races pretty well […]

Alex Bowman Enjoy Good Practice, May Translate To Race Sunday

Alex Bowman has a good morning practice session at the Circuit Of The Americas on Saturday morning. Now, 14th does not sound like much but the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver typically starts in the low 20's or so on road courses and works his way upward. The No. 48 has five top-tens in 13 road […]

Ross Chastain Mild Surprise In Practice, Bodes Well For Sunday

Ross Chastain turned a few heads with a nice time during the practice session Saturday morning. It was good for seventh. At the very least, the Chevy may qualify a little better than his usual 20's or 30's on Sunday at Austin. The No. 42 likely does not have the fastest of builds but could […]

William Byron Might Continue Top Ten Streak At Austin

This may be the toughest track for William Byron to maintain his 11-race top-ten streak on Sunday. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver should have one of the fastest cars in qualifying. The keyword is should. It is all about how the No. 24 negotiates the Circuit Of The Americas track. Byron does have four top-tens […]

Kevin Harvick May Linger Around Top Ten At Austin

Kevin Harvick can take advantage of his build on Sunday at the Circuit Of The Americas. He has 23 top-ten finishes and a couple of road racing wins too. He did finish sixth at the Daytona road course and though this is a different type of track, Harvick adapts pretty well at this stage. The […]

Brad Keselowski Has Some Intrigue At Austin Track

What does one make of Brad Keselowski this weekend? He finished in the top five at Daytona in February. Keselowski has some good results at Watkins Glen. Again, like some drivers, the Team Penske driver has had his issues at tracks like Charlotte and Sonoma. However, his average place differential is positive on most of […]

Kyle Larson May Not Factor In Much At Austin

Kyle Larson has had a mixed bag of results on road courses. He has not fared well at Daytona or Charlotte but has a top-five and three top-tens at Watkins Glen. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver should have a nice package that will carry speed and momentum. The question mark comes down to where he […]

Kyle Busch Another One To Watch At Austin On Sunday

Kyle Busch may be another case where seeing how he qualifies is essential to his performance. He has won four times on road courses in 35 races including 19 top-tens and 11 top-fives. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has an underrated road driving ability which could help or hurt depending on again where he starts […]

Ryan Blaney Could Contend At Austin On Sunday

Ryan Blaney is a peculiar driver for Sunday's race in Texas. He has seven top-tens in 13 road races. Some will argue his win at the Charlotte ROVAL was luck but Blaney has too many other top-tens to dismiss him completely. The Team Penske driver has a couple of top-tens each at Watkins Glen and […]

Daniel Suarez Reasonable DFS Option Sunday At Austin

Daniel Suarez has a nice price on DraftKings especially for Sunday's Circuit Of The Americas race. The Trackhouse Racing driver finished 16th at the Daytona road course which was a +20 place differential. His last top-ten on a road course was 2018 at Watkins Glen but expect Suarez to run a bit of a speed […]

Erik Jones Could Enjoy Favorable Place Differential Sunday At Austin

Erik Jones drives pretty well for Richard Petty Motorsports in what most call an okay racing car. His ability to drive road courses can go somewhat under the radar. He has six top-ten finishes in 11 races. That includes three top-fives. A good road driver like Jones can negotiate his way through a field and […]

Kurt Busch Has Road Experience To Lurk Around At Austin

Kurt Busch is another interesting wildcard on Sunday at Circuit Of The Americas. The elder Busch is quite experienced on road tracks and finished fourth at the Daytona road course earlier in the season. He has taken a checkered flag at Sonoma and has 23 top-tens with 13 top-fives. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver's qualifying […]

Joey Logano Could End Up Around Top Five At Austin On Sunday

Joey Logano can drive a race car anywhere but on the road courses, he could surprise. In 27 races, the Team Penske driver has seven top-fives and 14 top-tens. He even has a win at Watkins Glen and a second this year on the Daytona road course. Logano seemed to embrace the simulator this week […]

Christopher Bell Will Have Upside At Austin

Christopher Bell has developed an acumen for racing on road courses in his time with NASCAR via the Xfinity Series. That helped result in a win on the Daytona road course all the way back in February. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has a skill set that translates from one series to the next. Yes, […]

Martin Truex Jr. Expects To Be Near Top Of Field At Austin Sunday

Martin Truex Jr. will dust off last week's result at Dover and move onward. He has four road wins in 33 races with 17 top ten finishes (11 top-fives). That includes three wins on the famed Sonoma course and one at Watkins Glen. Circuit Of The Americas is a long hybrid of sorts -- a […]

Denny Hamlin Still Eyes First Win At Austin

Like Chase Elliott, Denny Hamlin is still looking for his first win in the 2021 season. Hamlin leads the point race and will comfortably be in the chase but the Joe Gibbs Racing driver wants to win somewhere. The Circuit Of The Americas may not be that track as Hamlin has hinted "he is not […]
