Ryan 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 […]

Ross 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 […]

Bubba 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. […]

Erik 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 […]

Chase 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 […]

Kurt 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.

Ricky 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.

Kevin 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.

Austin 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 […]

Kyle 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 […]

Aric 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. […]

Matt 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 […]

Brad 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 […]

Kyle 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.
