Matt DiBenedetto was finally in the position he wanted to be in. The white flag was raised and the Wood Brothers Racing driver prepared himself for the final 2.66 miles. DiBenedetto drove smart all day, but then he saw Ryan Blaney out of the corner of his eye. He made the decision to block Blaney, […]

Kevin Harvick led 12 laps on Sunday, but it was his ability to be patient that led him to a fourth-place finish on the 2.66-mile tri-oval at the superspeedway. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver tried to get up to William Byron and Michael McDowell. However, Harvick just could not get the run needed on the white […]

Sometimes it is better to have a little luck go one's way. Michael McDowell was able to get on the right line at the right time during the overtime on Sunday. The Talladega Superspeedway makes it paramount to be patient. McDowell was clever enough to time his run just right. He nearly got by William […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoWilliam Byron Comes Up Just Short At Talladega
William Byron had the line but simply ran out of time on Sunday as Brad Keselowski edged him out by just over a 10th of a second. He was able to hold off Michael McDowell to finish in second place. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver narrowly avoided several wrecks, including at the end of Stage […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoBrad Keselowski Saves Best For Last At Talladega
Brad Keselowski did not lead a single lap of Sunday's race on the famed 2.66-mile track until the very end. He took advantage of the inside line just long enough to surge to the front of the field. From there, the Team Penske driver took advantage of Matt DiBenedetto's block of Ryan Blaney. He held […]

Chris Wassel 4 years agoRoss Chastain Could Move Up Sunday Some Spots At Talladega
Ross Chastain may not have a top-ten result at Talladega in four appearances but he has drawn some notice. Chastain started in the mid 30's in every previous race. However, the Chip Ganassi Racing driver begins the Geico 500 18th. Consider that Chastian has enjoyed double-digit place improvements every race at Talladega, he is one […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoBubba Wallace Expects Not To Be Factor At Talladega
Bubba Wallace is still learning his race car and how it runs on various tracks. Sunday is another chance for the 23XI Racing driver to hopefully gain some racing experience. Wallace does have two occasions where he improved his place differential by nine spots. However, at superspeedways, Wallace has basically on average maintained track position. […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoErik Jones A Very Nice DFS Value Option On Sunday At Talladega
Erik Jones has had a few top-ten finishes this season. However, some may be surprised how well Jones has performed at Talladega. The Richard Petty Motorsports driver nearly won the Fall race on the superspeedway. He finished second after starting 16th. With two double-digit place differentials and top-five results to boot, Jones even led 13 […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChase Briscoe Possesses Little DFS Upside At Talladega
Chase Briscoe will get his first lesson at Talladega on the big stage Sunday. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has not finished in the top ten or even 15 all season. Also, Briscoe has not finished on the lead lap in his previous four races. That does not bode well at the superspeedway. The only bright […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKurt Busch May Surprise At Talladega Once Again
Kurt Busch has had a mixed bag of results at the Talladega Superspeedway. He goes into the Geico 500 enduring one tough season with no wins and not that close to a win on the season. At least, he has consecutive top-ten results from the Spring race. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver has three DNF's […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoRicky Stenhouse Jr. Shows DFS Potential At Talladega
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has a pretty solid history at Talladega and with two-plus mile speedway in general. Both of his career wins came on these tracks. In 15 races at the Talladega Superspeedway, the JTG Daugherty Racing driver had nine top-ten results and six top-five finishes. That includes a second-place result last Spring. Yes, Stenhouse […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoNASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Geico 500 - Monkey Knife Fight
Sunday afternoon features the Geico 500 from Talladega Superspeedway. Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, Martin Truex Jr., William Byron, and Alex Bowman 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 agoKevin Harvick Might Have Tiny Bit Of DFS Upside At Talladega
Kevin Harvick has a half dozen top-ten finishes on the 2021 season but has not cracked the winners' circle. The expectation is that he will not this Sunday at Talladega. However, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver could lead some laps as he has in three of the previous four Spring races (including two last year). In […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoAustin Dillon May Not Spring Into Contention At Talladega
Austin Dillon starts 11th on Sunday at Talladega for the Geico 500. However, the Richard Childress Racing driver has crashed four times in his last eight appearances on the 2.66-mile track. Since his third-place finish during the 2016 Spring race, Dillon has finished 36th, 35th, 14th, and 39th. That inspires little confidence and Dillon has […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKyle Larson Not Recommended For Talladega This Week
Kyle Larson and Talladega do not mix. He has just two top-ten finishes on the track and has crashed in three of the previous four races. Also, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has finished on the lead lap just six times. That is a true coin flip for someone starting 12th on Sunday. Place differential […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoAric Almirola Dicey DFS Pick At Talladega For Sunday
Aric Almirola finished sixth last week at Richmond but has crashed three times in nine races this season. Before last Fall's crash on lap 57 at the 2.66-mile tri-oval, Almirola enjoyed eight consecutive top-ten finishes at Talladega. That included a win in 2018 where he led the only lap that mattered -- the last one. […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoMatt DiBenedetto Building Towards Showing DFS Upside At Talladega
Matt DiBenedetto has been improving steadily in 2021. Though he has not led a lap all season, DiBenedetto finished ninth at Richmond last Sunday -- his best result of the year. Starting 13th should be a help to the Wood Brothers Racing driver. Talladega has been rough on DiBenedetto but he started 13th in last […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoBrad Keselowski A True Wildcard At Talladega on Sunday
It is rare to say but Brad Keselowski could finish anywhere at Talladega on Sunday. That can be said about every driver but Keselowski is a true wildcard. He is willing to take risks like the Team Penske racer did last week at Richmond. That backfired but Keselowski did lead 25 laps in all before […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKyle Busch Not Such A Good DFS Pick At Talladega
Kyle Busch had a rough 2020 on the Talladega Superspeedway. He finished outside the top-25 in both races and crashed out late in the Fall race. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver started third and sixth respectively but fell out of contention twice. The question is does he have the race car to even stay in […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChase Elliott Tries To Break Through In 2021 At Talladega
Chase Elliott has not taken a checkered flag in 2021 after winning the NASCAR Cup Series last year. Elliott nearly won at Martinsville but finished outside of the top ten last week at Martinsville. That only added frustration for the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver as he is their only driver to not win a race […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoRyan Blaney One To Watch At Talladega on Sunday
Ryan Blaney may be one of the few drivers to have Talladega dialed in so to speak. He has won two of the last three races at the track. He was a victim of a crash during the Fall race last season but Blaney won the Spring race. The Team Penske driver led 63 laps […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChristopher Bell May Not Be Worth Risk Sunday At Talladega
Christopher Bell starts from the sixth spot on Sunday for the Geico 500. However, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver may find the track, not to his liking. He crashed out on lap number one last year in the Fall race and dropped well out of contention during the Spring version. He did lead four laps […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoAlex Bowman May Finish In Top Ten Again At Talladega
Alex Bowman surprised many last week when he zoomed by Denny Hamlin at Richmond during the final restart. His win was the third for a Hendrick Motorsports driver on the season. What can he provide for an encore at Talladega? The Spring race has been more fruitful for the No. 48. He has three consecutive […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoWilliam Byron Expects To Contend In Sunday's Geico 500
William Byron showed last year that the Hendrick Motorsports car was quite fast at Talladega. He started in 21st and finished fourth during that Fall race. Furthermore, he was right near the front at the very end. There is a going theory that the Hendrick cars could be very strong this weekend. Byron has only […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoMartin Truex Jr. Is Risky Proposition At Talladega Superspeedway
Martin Truex Jr. is the only two-time winner this year on the NASCAR Cup Series. Since the Daytona swing, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has hung around in contention pretty much every race aside from Bristol when he cut a tire late. However, Talladega has proven to be a rough track. Truex Jr. has just […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoJoey Logano Could Win At Talladega On Sunday
Joey Logano is one of those drivers that can win on any track at any time. The Team Penske driver starts off from the second position on Sunday which could put him in a nice position to lead a good number of laps. He led 49 laps at Richmond last week and almost took back […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoDenny Hamlin Still Looking For First Win Of 2021 At Talladega
Talladega Superspeedway is a mixed bag of crazy that tests anyone -- even Denny Hamlin. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has enjoyed better experiences of late on the 2.66-mile tri-oval. He has three top-five finishes in a row including a win at the Fall event last year. However, 2019 saw Hamlin crash out after 80 […]
