Ryan Blaney Expected To Have Upside Sunday

Ryan Blaney won in Atlanta last week and will carry that momentum into Bristol on Sunday. The Team Penske driver will begin from the third position at the Food City Dirt Race. Blaney finished 4th and 10th in the two 2019 races at Bristol and has some marginal success at the track. Though this time […]

Denny Hamlin In Good Position For Success Sunday

Denny Hamlin, thanks to the washout, will start from the second spot on Sunday at Bristol. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has come close to victory in nearly every race so far this season. His five top-five finishes lead all racers and Hamlin led at least 27 laps in the last three races. The driver […]

Kyle Larson Awarded Pole, Faces Uphill Battle Sunday

Kyle Larson won the pole on Sunday at Bristol for the Food City Dirt Race. However, since his crew had to change engines after Friday's final practice, Larson is expected to be bumped down to the rear of the field. Though Larson will likely move up through the field, it will not be easy. Larson […]

Chase Elliott Blown Engine Ends Rough Day At Atlanta

Chase Elliott knew he had an uphill battle to contend at Atlanta even with his previous track record there. Little did the Chevy driver know how bad this day would become. Elliott was in position after Stage 1. He was 8th and starting to gain some traction when Kyle Busch spun out and everyone jammed […]

Kevin Harvick Blows A Tire, Never Contends At Atlanta

Kevin Harvick ran into trouble early at another track he normally fares well at and wound up fighting all day just to end up in the top-ten. A blown tire forced Harvick to pit early with his Stewart-Haas Racing car. Harvick was 24th after Stage 1 then improved slightly to 20th after Stage 2. The […]

Kyle Busch Spun Out, Rebounded To End Up Fifth

Kyle Busch had a bit of an eventful drive Sunday at Atlanta. He spun out on lap 113 which caused his brother, Kurt, to get knocked out of the race. After that, Busch bounced back to finish fourth in Stage 2. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver never got much closer after that as his car […]

Denny Hamlin Non-Factor Late, Ends Up Fourth At Atlanta

Denny Hamlin had some contact with Kurt Busch around pit lane on Lap 113 after a Kyle Busch spin that caused everyone to check up. That did seem to have some effect on his car later in the race as Hamlin's car was not quite the same during the final run. The result was the […]

Alex Bowman More Than Reasonable, Finishes Third At Atlanta

Alex Bowman hung in there all day, survived the wrecks, and was able to take advantage of the long run at the end and finish third at Atlanta. He never did lead a lap but the Chevy was able to stay on the lead lap pretty much the entire race. Sometimes at Atlanta, survival yields […]

Kyle Larson Dominates Atlanta Yet Settles For Second

Kyle Larson did everything a racer could ask for. He led a ton of laps. He enjoyed a dominating race car. He looked poised to win and then just like that, it was gone. With just eight laps to go, Ryan Blaney got by his Chevy and Larson never could catch up. Larson ultimately got […]

Ryan Blaney Shocks Kyle Larson And Field To Win At Atlanta

Ryan Blaney this year has steadily improved each race. The last couple of weeks he drew closer and closer to victory. With Kyle Larson dominating the Atlanta track, Blaney pulled a fast one and sped past Kyle Larson with eight laps to go. From there, Blaney was able to take advantage of Larson getting caught […]

Monkey Knife Fight has an extremely easy fantasy point system: 0.1 points for each lap led and then a set amount of points […]

Austin Cindric Excellent DFS Value Choice On Sunday

Austin Cindric has performed great at the Xfinity Racing Series races and surprised with a top-15 finish at Daytona after starting 39th. He gets another try this week as Cindric starts 39th again. His price is so low that Cindric deserves a look based on this alone. The Roger Penske Racing driver knows cars very […]

Chris Buescher Hard To Recommend This Week At Atlanta

Chris Buescher has had mostly a vanilla sort of season result-wise. Aside from the Daytona road race, Buescher has started in the teens the past three races and finished in the teens. The Roush Fenway Racing driver did briefly get into the top-ten in Vegas and Phoenix but could not stay there. Also, last year […]

Ryan Newman Might Struggle Again At Atlanta

Ryan Newman starts from the 28th position which should make him advantageous from a place differential standpoint. However, the last two speedway races in Vegas and Phoenix have seen Newman tumble backwards on the track (-5 and -7 respectively). More troubling is that in those races, the Roush Fenway Racing driver had been mired in […]

Ross Chastain Offers Slight Upside At Atlanta

Ross Chastain could be a lower-cost DFS pick at Atlanta but expectations should be tempered. He does have one top-ten result this year. However, he has not led a single lap this season nor come close. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver does start at 21st, which is higher than where he usually starts at Atlanta […]

Matt DiBenedetto Is A Good Choice At Atlanta

Matt DiBenedetto has been quietly racing well in his last three starts with place differentials of +9, +14. and +6. The Wood Brothers Racing driver comes into Atlanta with a little bit of momentum. He starts 20th again this week and could move up early. DiBenedetto has done so in the past two races. Atlanta […]

Kyle Busch's Track History Makes Him Factor At Atlanta

Kyle Busch is still a bit of buyer beware for the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. He has not led a single lap this year and finishing races well have been an issue. However, it is hard to ignore what the younger Busch has accomplished at the Atlanta track. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has […]

Kurt Busch Not Expected To Be Factor At Atlanta

Kurt Busch may have some forays into the top-ten but do not expect him to stay there on Sunday. The 2021 season has not been very kind to the Chip Ganassi Racing driver as he has had a negative place differential in every race aside from the Daytona Road course. Also, Busch has not led […]

Aric Almirola Is A Risky Option On Sunday

Aric Almirola starts from the 16th spot on Sunday at the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. Last week, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver surprised many by nearly finishing in the top-ten (11th). He came from the 32nd position at the start and charged into the top-ten a few times during the Phoenix race. His car has […]

Alex Bowman A Decent DFS Pick In Atlanta On Sunday

While Alex Bowman has not finished in the top-ten at Atlanta, he has gradually improved each year from a results standpoint. Last year, he nearly finished in the top-ten with a 12th place finish. He was a lap down but the race last year had fewer than ten drivers on the lead lap. The key […]

Austin Dillon Not The Wisest Of Choices On Sunday At Atlanta

Austin Dillon does start 13th on Sunday at the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 but history has not been on his side. Eight races on the Atlanta track have not yielded a single top-ten result. Furthermore, his place differential has been minimal one way or the other since Homestead. Honestly, the Richard Childress Racing driver […]

Tyler Reddick Carries Some Upside On Sunday At Atlanta

Tyler Reddick may be buried towards the rear of the field (29th) but he does have one of the fastest race cars at Atlanta. The Richard Childress Racing driver can get up closer to the front of the field. The problem is since that second-place finish at Homestead, Reddick has struggled to stay on the […]

Ryan Blaney Could Inch Up And Provide Upside Sunday

Ryan Blaney is an interesting driver this week in Atlanta because he showed last year that the Penske Racing driver could contend on this 325-lap track. He finished fourth but honestly, could have won the race. The previous year he led 41 laps before running into trouble and finishing a lap down. Blaney starts in […]

William Byron Shows Less DFS Upside On Sunday

William Byron bounced around the track last Sunday in Phoenix but never led a lap. The possibilities exist that the Hendrick Motorsports driver could have the same fate this Sunday in Atlanta. Since the Daytona races, Byron won in Homestead and followed that up with two eighth-place finishes. He seems to carry the speed well […]

Christopher Bell May Show Some DFS Potential Sunday

Christopher Bell is bound to put it together one of these times on a speedway. He had a rather fast car last week in Phoenix but ended up ninth. The week before the Joe Gibbs Racing driver ended up seventh in Vegas. Oddly, he did not lead a lap in either race, and yet it […]
