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.

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.

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.
