Brad Keselowski Helps Teammate Over Himself On Saturday
Brad Keselowski could have ended his winless streak but instead gave a helping hand to Chris Buescher. Saturday night at Daytona was far more interesting than usual. Keselowski still finished second in his best performance of the season. The RFK Racing driver led six laps after starting in 12th (ironically right behind Buescher). Keselowski will […]

Chris Wassel 1 year agoKyle Busch Getting Ready For The Playoffs
Kyle Busch probably wants to forget his first Daytona with Richard Childress Racing. The Duels ended poorly with an accident and so did the race (ended 19th after leading six laps). Now, Busch is locked into a playoff position. He qualified 18th on Friday afternoon and has experience running well during the August races on […]
Chris Wassel 1 year agoChase Elliott Might Have To Eye The Other Chase
Chase Elliott is facing the growing reality that the chase for the Owners Standings may be his reality for 2023. However, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has a chance at Daytona. Elliott and his No. 9 car have never won on the 2.5-mile track yet they have finished second and eighth in two of the […]
Chris Wassel 1 year agoAustin Cindric Does Run Well At Daytona
Austin Cindric has had a trying sophomore season in NASCAR. If one guy might find a way to sneak into the playoffs, it might be the Team Penske Ford. Cindric did win the Daytona 500 last year and even has run well in August (led 13 laps, finished third last year). Cindric and his No. […]
Chris Wassel 1 year agoRoss Chastain Limping Into The Playoffs
Ross Chastain still did not have the speed some were expecting on Friday in qualifying. The Trackhouse Racing driver will start the Coke Zero Sugar 400 from the 25th spot on Saturday night. Chastain has that one win in Nashville but only three top-10 results since Kansas. It has not been only one thing for […]

William Byron did not have the speed in his Hendrick Motorsports Chevy in qualifying on Friday and he knew it. Byron qualified 27th and seemed content to put a safer car out there. The No. 24 car won the 160-lap race in 2020 but has seen an accident end his day twice since. Furthermore, the […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. starts the Coke Zero Sugar 400 from the 32nd position on Saturday night. He did start the Daytona 500 from 31st and held off Joey Logano for the win. However, this is August and he has locked up a spot in the playoffs. The past three summer races have been interesting, as […]
Chris Wassel 1 year agoJoey Logano Could Be In Position At Daytona
Joey Logano has endured some pretty bad luck the past three summers at Daytona International Speedway. Add in the fact that the Team Penske car nearly won the Daytona 500 in February and that adds extra salt into the wound. However, the one consistent is the No. 22 Ford has been quick during the stages. […]

Alex Bowman comes into Daytona like Chase Elliott. Both Hendrick Motorsports Racing drivers need a win. While Elliott has an out of sorts in the owners standings, Bowman and his No. 48 car have work to do there too. Also, considerable help would be needed. He did place fifth at the Daytona 500 in February […]
Chris Wassel 1 year agoChris Buescher Raring To Go For Daytona
Chris Buescher does have a playoff spot locked up in his RFK Racing Ford. Buescher finished 11th in qualifying right next to his teammate, Brad Keselowski (12th). The No. 17 Ford has developed into quite the driver this year. Besides winning two races, Buescher has as many points as Ross Chastain and only two fewer […]
Chris Wassel 1 year agoRyan Blaney Hard To Count Out At Daytona
Ryan Blaney starts eighth for Saturday night's race from Daytona. The Team Penske car was fairly quick during qualifying and got into the final round. He lost a little speed in the turns and was 0.21 seconds behind pole-sitter Chase Briscoe. Funny enough, overall times were almost similar to February at Daytona. Back then, Alex […]
Chris Wassel 1 year agoAric Almirola Begins Second At Daytona Saturday
Aric Almirola narrowly missed out on the pole position for Saturday's Coke Zero Sugar 400. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver settled for a spot outside of Row 1 from his teammate Chase Briscoe. Almirola has not had the best of seasons in his No. 10 Ford. He does not have a single top five result. Despite […]

Some believe Taylor Moore will shake off what happened at the BMW Championship last week. The American golfer shot an 80 on Saturday en route to a disastrous event. It was not the +18 that was troubling, it was the body language. Moore looked defeated and gassed. He has played 22 tournaments in 2023 alone […]

Rickie Fowler is not playing poorly by any means. However, the American golfer does not have quite the same flair as he did even at The Open Championship in July. Fowler did finish with a solid 69 on Sunday at the BMW Championship. That propelled him into the top 25 at least. Now, can Fowler […]
Chris Wassel 1 year agoCorey Conners Could Be A Factor In Atlanta
Corey Conners has enjoyed another solid run in terms of results. The Canadian golfer followed up a sixth-place result with a tenth at the BMW Championship last week. Conners did not crack on either Sunday posting respectable numbers (65 and 69). He ranks 15th and 16th in terms of getting off the tee and approaching […]
Chris Wassel 1 year agoNick Taylor Could Struggle Again In Atlanta
Nick Taylor had a rough week but was comfortably in the top-15 in FedEx Cup points. Therefore, the Canadian golfer advanced to Atlanta with ease. Shooting all four rounds over par at the BMW Championship was a concern. Taylor's metrics were all in the red. He starts with one stroke under par for this week […]

Scottie Scheffler did everything right but shoot a 61 on Sunday at the BMW Championship. He finished in a tie for second behind Viktor Hovland. East Lake Golf Club is again the venue for this year's season ending tournament. The American golfer from New Jersey ended up tied for second in last year's event behind […]

Chris Wassel 1 year agoCole Custer Likely To Lag Behind At Watkins Glen
Cole Custer struggled in the Xfinity race on Saturday afternoon. That was compounded by his 34th place qualifying. Some experts point out to his +18 place differential from last year. However, that was in the Ford car with Stewart-Haas. The Rick Ware version is not close in terms of speed. The No. 51 car finished […]

Austin Dillon did not turn in the best of laps but it was not the worst either. The Richard Childress Racing driver ended up outside of the top ten in qualifying. However, 16th is not as bad as it could have been. Dillon dropped several tenths of a second in the turns, especially the S […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is in the NASCAR playoffs. The JTG Daugherty Racing car starts 28th for Sunday's edition of Go Bowling at The Glen. Stenhouse Jr. has never finished better than 15th at the New York course. He only has one stage point via a tenth in 2017. Also, the No. 47 Chevy led a […]

Ryan Blaney never got going at Watkins Glen last year as he began 26th and started 24th. The year before saw him near the front in third but fell to 14th. Before COViD, the Team Penske Ford was a factor after Stage 2 in three straight races on the 11-turn course. He finished on Saturday […]

Chris Wassel 1 year agoAustin Cindric Starts 17th For Watkins Glen
Austin Cindric needs a win ideally as he sits 105 points behind Bubba Wallace in the standings. The Team Penske Ford driver began outside Row 4 and only lost five spots overall. That was not too bad. However, this year, Cindric qualified 17th on Saturday. Most of the Ford cars looked very slow in qualifying […]

Joey Logano did not get into the final group of qualifying at Watkins Glen International. However, he will start 11th on Sunday afternoon.
