Kyle Larson Tires A Little At Very End, Finishes Second At Darlington
Kyle Larson got a little bit of a lesson as he moved up the field at the Goodyear 400. That lesson came from none other than Martin Truex Jr. As Larson got closer, his tires started getting too hot to maintain good grip and leverage. The result was the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver had to […]

It was the performance of the season as Martin Truex Jr. led 248 of the 293 laps on Sunday at Darlington. He swept both stages and took the checkered flag at the Goodyear 400. This was his third win of the year and the Joe Gibbs Racing driver is still the only repeat winner in […]

Chris Wassel 4 years agoRyan Preece Might Be More Of A Factor At Darlington
What may help Ryan Preece, who starts 29th, the most is his ability to drive through a high-banked course. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver was able to lead nine laps at Talladega and finish 14th two weeks ago. That +15 place differential was a season-high. Now, Preece was unlucky as he crashed out with eight […]

J.J. Yeley will be extremely cheap on Sunday and starts 34th at Darlington for the Goodyear 400. The Rick Ware Racing driver has enjoyed plus place differential in all three races Yeley has appeared in. Talladega was his best differential at +11 and that happened to be one of the more "war of attrition" types […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoNASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Goodyear 400 - Monkey Knife Fight
Sunday afternoon features the Goodyear 400 from Darlington Speedway. Brad Keselowski, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Martin Truex Jr., and William Byron will make up the top five to start the race. 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 […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoRyan Newman Has Limited Potential On Sunday At Darlington
Ryan Newman will begin Sunday from the 20th position for the Goodyear 400. Last year, he finished 15th, 14th, and 15th at Darlington. The Roush Fenway Racing driver could end up right around that position again on Sunday. That potential place differential is a limited positive but one nonetheless. With Newman able to stay on […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoAlex Bowman Could Have Fast Car At Darlington On Sunday
Alex Bowman may come from the middle of the pack and surprise on Sunday. He enjoyed two top-ten finishes on the track in 2020 including a second-place finish. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver led 41 laps during that Spring installment. There is some concern because he started fourth and sixth in those races but Bowman […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoRoss Chastain May Have A Little DFS Potential At Darlington
Though Ross Chastain has not finished in the top ten since Daytona, he may still feature a little upside on Sunday at Darlington. This is not significant but Chastain has improved on his track position during all three appearances (+5. +3. and +5). Those are not significant gains but it is better than nothing. He […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKurt Busch Has Experience To Show DFS Upside At Darlington
Kurt Busch has performed pretty well at Darlington and could inch up the field on Sunday. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver has finished in the top ten five out of the last six appearances on the 1.366-mile track. Experience has served the elder Busch here well and starting 17th lends itself to place differential points. […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoRyan Blaney Just Too Dicey To Consider At Darlington
Ryan Blaney and the Darlington track just do not mix. Even with better starting positions, the Team Penske driver has never shown the ability to come close to contending. The Goodyear 400 is likely to be no different this Sunday. He has a negative place differential in five of the last six races here. That […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoDaniel Suarez Not Likely A Factor DFS Wise At Darlington
Daniel Suarez has just one top ten finish this year. The TrackHouse Racing driver does start 15th this Sunday but that is where the optimism likely ends. Suarez at Darlington has not fared well in the Toyota car. The last three races have resulted in him not finishing on the lead lap for a variety […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoMichael McDowell Not Expected To Thrive At Darlington On Sunday
Little is expected of Michael McDowell on Sunday. The Front Row Motorsports driver has zero top-ten finishes at Darlington. Furthermore, the 1.366-mile track has seen him finish 16th for his best result. McDowell slid back late at Kansas last week and that trend may just continue this week. Any regression similar would again push him […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoJoey Logano May Feature Some Upside At Goodyear 400 Sunday
Joey Logano could generate a little bit of interest at Darlington on Sunday. He finished well during the last two installments last year (sixth and third place results). Starting 12th even opens the door a bit for some place differential upside. The Fall race saw the Team Penske driver make up ten spots (13th to […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChris Buescher Not Likely To Be Factor At Darlington
Chris Buescher was a victim of an unfortunate circumstance last week at Kansas. If not for some caution craziness, he may have easily finished in the top five or won. Buscher led 13 laps in the Roush Fenway Racing car. This week features a track that has not been kind to him in the past. […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoTyler Reddick A Risky Choice At Darlington On Sunday
Tyler Reddick only raced on the Darlington track in 2020 so there are only three races to lean on. The first installment in the Spring showed that the Richard Childress Racing driver had the ability to contend. He finished seventh. However, the other two races saw Reddick not improve much on positioning (just one spot […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoAustin Dillon An Intriguing Option At Darlington On Sunday
Austin Dillon starts ninth on Sunday for the Goodyear 400. At Darlington in 2020, the Richard Childress Racing driver had a bit of an adventure. However, the final race saw him nearly take home the checkered flag. He finished in second place and simply ran out of time. Can Dillon come close to duplicating that […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoMatt DiBenedetto Might Have Favorable Result At Darlington
Matt DiBenedetto may be one of the best drivers right now that few know about. The Wood Brothers Racing driver has enjoyed top-ten finishes for the first time in his career. Furthermore, he starts eighth this week for the Goodyear 400. In eight appearances, DiBenedetto delivered two top ten results. The No. 21 does not […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChase Elliott A Wildcard At Darlington On Sunday
Chase Elliott could finish anywhere on Sunday at Darlington. He starts in sixth and the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has the ability to take the checkered flag. The problem is that he finished fourth, 38th, and 20th in 2020 on the 1.366-mile track. Elliott led 114 laps in the Fall race before falling back due […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoWilliam Byron May Stay Near Front Sunday At Darlington
William Byron gets a fortunate fifth-place start on Sunday and showed some potential last year. He finished fifth in the Fall race at Darlington. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has only led three laps in five appearances but showed the ability to get into the top ten and stay near there in 2020. The No. […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoMartin Truex Jr. In Better Position To Win At Darlington
Martin Truex Jr. had one of the fastest cars at Darlington in 2020 but could not finish the race despite three chances. He finished sixth and tenth in the first two installments. Then, in the Fall race, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver led 196 laps but a bit of bad luck forced him back to […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKyle Busch Expects To Stay Around Contenders At Darlington
Kyle Busch broke into the win column last week at Kansas on his birthday in the Buschy McBusch 400. This week, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver starts from the third position and should be able to stay around or near the front of the race. The younger Busch has 12 top-ten results in 18 races […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoBrad Keselowski A Decent Option At Darlington
The problem may be that Brad Keselowski starts from the pole on Sunday for the Goodyear 400. There is good news. The last time he started from the top was last May and he led 80 laps before finishing 13th. In the second installment, the Team Penske driver had a fourth-place result. While he truly […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKevin Harvick Starts In Row 1 Looking To Win At Darlington
The metrics were kind to Kevin Harvick this week as he starts second on Sunday at the Goodyear 400. His Stewart-Haas Racing car arguably should be the favorite (+700 to win) at Darlington just based on recent results. Harvick knows how to race this track. Last week at Kansas, the driver simply ran out of […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoDenny Hamlin Expects To Contend Yet Again At Darlington
When does Denny Hamlin finally breakthrough? He is second on most betting sites at +550 to take the checkered flag on Sunday. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has been incredible on the 1.366-mile track with 13 top ten finishes and three wins in 17 appearances. His average career finish is 7.5 which is the lowest […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKyle Larson Odds On Favorite To Win At Darlington
Kyle Larson is a +400 favorite to win on Sunday at Darlington. A big reason for that is his consistency. Larson has finished in the top ten five out of six times on the track "too tough to tame". In his last four races at Darlington, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has led a total […]

Chris Wassel 4 years agoChase Elliott Manages Fifth Place Finish At Kansas On Sunday
Chase Elliott got a much-needed result at Kansas on Sunday as he rode behind three Rod's to a fifth-place finish. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver again did not lead any laps on Sunday but was close to the front all day. Elliott was sixth after Stage 1 and fifth after Stage 2. He bounced back […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoMatt DiBenedetto Finishes Top-Five Again, This Time At Kansas
Matt DiBenedetto for the past several weeks had been saying his car was getting better and better. He was right. On Sunday, the Wood Brothers Racing driver started fifth and did not falter. Instead, he was in on the surge that Kevin Harvick and Brad Keselowski led. DiBenedetto ultimately finished fourth behind those two other […]
