Kevin Harvick had the fresher tires and the momentum during the final laps of the Buschy McBusch 400. However, he simply ran out of time. With a couple of laps to go, Harvick had a tough road to try and reel in the two Toyota cars upfront. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver passed Martin Truex Jr […]

Chris Wassel 4 years agoChris Buescher Has Limited Upside At Kansas On Sunday
Chris Buescher has not shown much improvement of late. He has a negative place differential in his last three races. The Roush Fenway Racing driver starts from the 16th position on Sunday for the Buschy McBusch 400. The 1.5-mile track should be a refuge from the heat he has been feeling in the media. He […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChase Briscoe Tries To Repeat Run From Last Week On Sunday At Kansas
This race track is not quite as intimidating but Chase Briscoe showed he could scratch, claw, and do whatever it takes to succeed. That result became nearly a top-ten finish as the Stewart-Haas Racing driver finished 11th at Talladega. Briscoe starts from the 19th position this week and maybe off most radars for Sunday. Do […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoRyan Newman May Just Move Up Again On Sunday At Kansas

Chris Wassel 4 years agoDaniel Suarez Needs A Result At Kansas On Sunday Afternoon
Daniel Suarez has struggled since his fourth-place finish at Bristol. He led 58 laps there and has not led one since. The only sign of progress was that he did finish on the lead lap at Talladega.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoRoss Chastain A Wildcard At Kansas On Sunday
Ross Chastain was able to maintain track position in his last few races but will need to make some moves on Sunday in Kansas. He starts in the 24th position as the Chip Ganassi Racing driver did not rank high enough in the metrics. Now, Chastain did lead 12 laps at Talladega and that could […]

Chris Wassel 4 years agoRicky Stenhouse Jr. One To Stay Away From At Kansas
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has faltered a good bit in his last three races finishing outside the top ten in each of them.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoAlex Bowman Could Ride Hendrick Motorsports Wave At Kansas
A common theme this week is a lot of the "contenders" starting in positions they normally would not. Alex Bowman is no exception as the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver begins Sunday 25th. There is a little bit of hesitation here as Bowman has not finished two of the last three races. However, the one in […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoJoey Logano Motivated For Kansas Race With Positive DFS Value
Joey Logano had a rough week as he went airborne last week at Talladega after coming into contact with Denny Hamlin. Thankfully he was okay and is good to race this week at Kansas. Will that collision impact him any on Sunday? Probably not. Logano had a mixed bag of results last year on the […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKyle Larson Should Move Up Field Quickly On Sunday At Kansas
Kyle Larson starts all the way down at 32nd position on Sunday for the Buschy McBusch 400. That is no misprint. The piece of metal in his engine area last week caused him to bow out after just three laps. That 40th place finish resulted in a huge downturn in the metrics. That presents incredible […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChase Elliott Possesses Place Differential Chance On Sunday At Kansas
Chase Elliott's defense of his 2020 Cup Series win has been problematic from the beginning. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver struggled to get back on the lead lap last week at Talladega while finishing 24th.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoDenny Hamlin Carries Huge DFS Potential At Kansas On Sunday

Martin Truex Jr. is not the only "dominator" that will benefit from a poorer than usual start position on Sunday at Kansas. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver begins from 15th on the 1.5-mile track. Truex Jr. won at Martinsville and placed fifth at Richmond. Last week, he was involved in a nasty wreck that took […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoBubba Wallace Doesn't Have Same Potential As Last Week At Kansas
Bubba Wallace had a wild ride at Talladega. He even won Stage 2 of the race for his first stage win in his career. That glory was short-lived as the 23XI Racing driver fell backward to the 19th position when the race was done. Furthermore, Wallace enters this week 13th which limits any place differential […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoRyan Preece Not Expected To Be Factor At Kansas On Sunday
Ryan Preece enjoyed a nice run at Talladega last week as he led nine laps and finished in 14th. The +15 place differential caught the eye of a few in the DFS world. However, this week he starts 12th at Kansas. Three of his first four races on the 1.5-mile track have ended poorly for […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoTyler Reddick Has Little Positive DFS Value On Sunday At Kansas
Tyler Reddick has three top-ten finishes in his last four races but Kansas was unkind to him in 2020. He finished in 13th and 25th. Reddick did not factor much in the final laps of either race and lost track position. Last Spring's race saw him fall out of the top ten and that could […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoCole Custer May Maintain Some Track Position Sunday At Kansas
Cole Custer finished in the top ten last week at Talladega which played a heavy part in the NASCAR metrics system this week.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoKyle Busch Has Some intrigue On His Side At Kansas
The question is which Kyle Busch do we see on Sunday at Kansas. Do we see the driver that finished in the top ten in the last two Fall races at Kansas or the driver that struggled late in the Spring versions of the event. It's a great question. If one goes back to the […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChristopher Bell May Not Have Much DFS Upside Sunday
Christopher Bell had some promise with a seventh in Martinsville and a fourth in Richmond two weeks ago. However, he faltered at Talladega resulting in a 17th place finish that leaves some concern this week at Kansas. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver does start from the eighth position on Sunday but has only raced here […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoRyan Blaney Expected To Lurk Around Top Ten Sunday
Ryan Blaney tends to find a way to meander around the top ten in races and that makes him dangerous on Sunday at Kansas. He starts from the seventh position for the Buschy McBusch 400. The Team Penske driver has finished no lower than 11th in every race since Homestead in February. Blaney's results at […]

Chris Wassel 4 years agoMatt DiBenedetto Is A Good Play At Kansas
Matt DiBenedetto keeps improving every week and now has consecutive top ten results under his belt.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoKevin Harvick Should Be One Of The Favorites At Kansas

He has three wins in 30 starts with ten top-five finishes and 17 top ten results. He finished fourth and second last year as the No. 4 led 85 of the 267 […]

Michael McDowell survived all the wrecks to finish third last week at Talladega. It was his first top ten finish since Homestead in February. Based on that result and a few other metrics. McDowell starts from the third position this week at Kansas. In 19 races, the Front Row Motorsports driver has started in the […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoWilliam Byron May Lead Hendrick Motorsports Charge Sunday
William Byron inherits a great starting position this week at Kansas. He starts on the outside of Row 1 with Brad Keselowski.
