Chris Wassel 4 years agoErik Jones Is A Value DFS Option On Sunday For Toyota Owners 400
Erik Jones starts all the way back in 30th on Sunday at Richmond Raceway. That makes the Richard Petty Motorsports driver an intriguing choice because of his cheap DFS price.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoDaniel Suarez A Question Mark At Richmond On Sunday
It is anyone's guess how Daniel Suarez will fare at Richmond Raceway on Sunday. He excelled at Bristol finishing in fourth. He did not handle Martinsville well. Ultimately, the TrackHouse Racing driver crashed out on lap 386. He was not much of a factor in the race anyway. The 3/4 mile track was unkind to […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChase Briscoe's Rookie Learning Lesson Continues At Richmond
Chase Briscoe does not carry too much DFS upside at Richmond on Sunday.

It seems Briscoe has not gotten a handle on tracks like this. Richmond's 14-degree banking […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoRyan Newman Bit Of A Wildcard At Richmond Raceway
Ryan Newman could be an intriguing yet risky choice for Sunday's Toyota Owners 400. He could run a few laps down or surprise everyone with a top-five result.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoAlex Bowman Not Recommended For Richmond
Alex Bowman may be too far down in the field to factor much into the Toyota Owners 400 on Sunday.

His season has […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoAric Almirola Has A Little Upside Sunday For Toyota Owners 400
Aric Almirola has not had an easy 2021 and has finished outside the top ten in every single range. Sunday may not be different at the Richmond Raceway.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoBrad Keselowski A Great But Chalky Play At Richmond

Chris Wassel 4 years agoBubba Wallace Bit Of A Question Mark On Sunday At Richmond
Bubba Wallace improved nine positions at Martinsville last week and led 23 laps. Could he do a bit of the same this week at Richmond?

Chris Wassel 4 years agoRicky Stenhouse Jr. May Stay Around Top Ten At Richmond
A bit of a pattern has emerged with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Aside from nearly winning at Bristol, the JTG Daugherty Racing driver has stayed right around the top-ten in 2021 often. Could Stenhouse Jr. find a way to the podium once more? That does not seem likely this week. His results have pretty much in […]

Chris Wassel 4 years agoChris Buescher Not Likely To Be Factor At Richmond
Chris Buescher was thought to be on the cusp of getting into that upper tier this season. So far, all the Roush Fenway Racing driver has to show for his efforts is one top-ten result in eight races. Richmond has not been a refuge for Buescher either as he has not finished in the top […]

Chris Wassel 4 years agoKevin Harvick May Not Have Easy Time At Richmond

Joey Logano had a good race car last week but could not quite sustain the pace during the final 42 laps last week at Martinsville.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoWilliam Byron Could Stay In Contention At Toyota Owners 400
William Byron led a few laps and managed to stay in the top-five at the end of Sunday's finish at Martinsville.
