Harrison Burton Trying To Show Something Saturday Night
Harrison Burton has endured one pretty ugly season in NASCAR. Friday's qualifying did not help as the Wood Brothers Racing driver ended up 32nd. If there is a bright side, the No. 21 Ford began 27th last year and wound up 16th. Those hoping for a little more place differential magic could get a little […]

A.J. Allmendinger Has Some Work To Do Saturday
A.J. Allmendinger starts the Bristol race from the 22nd position on Saturday night. Last year, the Kaulig Racing driver began 13th and ended up seventh. The No. 16 car was close to and around the top five cars most of the night. That was especially true during the second half of the race. With a […]

Kyle Larson Starts From The Back On Saturday Night
Kyle Larson will start from the back on Saturday night. The No .5 car from Hendrick Motorsports was the fastest in practice. When it came to qualifying, Larson got loose and that hiccup was enough to end up last. It is safe to say, Larson will move up the field with much haste if the […]

Denny Hamlin Trying To Improve At Bristol
For all the talk of quicker practices, lap times, and qualifying, Denny Hamlin wants to improve on his ninth-place results at Bristol. Consecutive top tens would make most any other driver happy but not the Joe Gibbs Racing driver. However, Hamlin has some team and owner politics on the horizon. Martin Truex Jr. is 13th […]

William Byron Starts Third At Bristol On Saturday
William Byron looked even better than the normally fast Kyle Larson in qualifying on Friday. As a result, the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver will start third on Saturday from Bristol. Byron has consecutive third-place results on the short track but had not qualified this well since 2018 (2nd). Being closer to the front […]

Tyler Reddick In Unique Position For Bristol
Tyler Reddick and his 23XI Racing car have already advanced to the Round of 12. That puts him in an interesting position for Bristol on Saturday. Reddick could play the team card and try to help Bubba Wallace into the next round. By his own right, the No. 45 car qualified 12th for the Bass […]

Chris Buescher Could Win Again At Bristol
Chris Buescher may be starting down in 20th but it would not be wise to count him out on Saturday night. The RFK Racing driver won at Bristol last year as he carried some phenomenal final segment speed (tops over the final 125 laps). His No. 17 Ford seemed to get better and better as […]

Brad Keselowski Always Seems Fast At Bristol
Brad Keselowski managed to qualify sixth at Bristol where he always seems to be fast and lead some laps. The RFK Racing driver and part-owner appears to be in safe enough position to advance to the Round of 12. That being said, Keselowski has a solid average finish of 13.5 at Bristol and led 109 […]

Martin Truex Jr. Needs Strong Result At Bristol
Martin Truex Jr. needs a strong result at Bristol on Saturday night and probably some help. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver started with 36 bonus points in the NASCAR playoffs. He is now seven points below the cutline entering the Bass Pro Shops Night Race. On the bright side, Truex Jr. qualified fifth. Race segment […]

Beau Hossler Seeking To Improve On Weekends This Season
Beau Hossler closed the 2022-23 season well but the American golfer missed some opportunities because of poor weekend showings. Hossler had a stretch where he shot 71 or worse in six of eight tournaments. That does not sound so bad, but consider the Mexico Open where his final round 66 vaulted him into the top […]

Mark Hubbard Wants To Finish Well At Silverado North
Mark Hubbard was on the edge of contention last year at the Fortinet Championship. His final round 73 knocked him out of the top 20. Two weeks later, the American golfer had a chance to win Sanderson Farms Championship but a 74 derailed his hopes for a first PGA win. Hubbard had a bit of […]

Stephan Jagger Looks To Pick Up Where He Left Off
Stephan Jagger finished off last season with some solid results. The German golfer netted five straight top-30 finishes including a tied for ninth at Rocket Mortgage Classic. Even at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, Jagger fired all four rounds under 70. With scores expected to be in the -15 to -20 range to win, he […]

Ryan Moore Trying To Make Cut At Fortinet Championship
Ryan Moore took some time away to not think about golf. After missing the cut in four of the final five tournaments of last season, the American golfer is ready to begin anew. The first thing he has to do is erase the bad memory of last year's opening round 77. That caused Moore to […]

Chez Reavie Tries To Start Better Than Last Season
Chez Reavie wants to get off to a better start for the 2023-24 PGA season. Last year, he missed three straight cuts and nine of his first 14 tournaments (plus one W/D). Once the Spring started, Reavie did improve but it was a rough season. On the bright side, the American golfer did finish third […]

Austin Cindric Continues Rough Stretch In Kansas
Austin Cindric has been kind of like a cinder block when it comes to racing at Kansas. He carries a negative place differential in three of his past four appearances. The Team Penske car struggled in 2023 and finished 31st at the Kansas Speedway in May. The No. 2 Ford has never had a top […]

Chase Briscoe A Little Slow Qualifying On Saturday
Chase Briscoe and his Stewart-Haas Racing team have their work cut out for them yet again on Sunday. Briscoe was a little slow qualifying on Saturday (0.757 seconds behind Christopher Bell). On the brighter side, the Ford driver has a 19th and a 13th in his last two "Fall" races at Kansas Speedway. Briscoe has […]

Alex Bowman Could Be One To Watch Sunday
Alex Bowman had one of the most if not, the most dominant car at Kansas last September. He led 107 laps in all and yet had to settle for fourth place last Fall. Bowman starts 23rd this year from the Hollywood Casino 400. Every time he starts beyond the top ten, Bowman finishes better than […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Falls In The Fall At Kansas
The last two Spring races have gone pretty well for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. His JTG Daugherty Racing Chevy has finished 8th and 12th respectively. The No. 47 car finds the going much rougher as September approaches. He has had a host of problems from tires to electrical to an accident. Stenhouse Jr. finds himself four […]

Joey Logano Barely Misses Top Ten In Qualifying
Joey Logano came so close to the top ten in qualifying but came up just short. The Team Penske Ford settled for 11th. Logano won the Fall race three years ago after leading 47 laps. In 2021, he managed to end up ninth but fell to 17th last September. He looked several tenths faster in […]

Brad Keselowski Begins 12th At Kansas On Sunday
Brad Keselowski could use a good result at Kansas Speedway. Unfortunately, the results have not been that kind over the past two seasons for the RFK Racing driver. The No. 6 Ford has not finished better than 14th over that span. He has only led two laps since the Fall of 2021 on the intermediate […]

Christopher Bell Qualifies Number One At Kansas
Christopher Bell nabs the pole position at Kansas for the Hollywood Casino 400. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver edged Kyle Larson by 0.075 seconds. Bell has not finished inside the top ten four times despite starting first in 2023. Last week was another rough race as the No. 20 Toyota ended up 23rd at Darlington. […]

Kyle Larson Almost Wins Pole At Kansas
Kyle Larson was the fastest car in practice on Saturday with a 15-lap average that was almost a tenth of a second quicker than Martin Truex Jr. However, he came up a hair short of winning the pole for Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400. Now, second is not bad for the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver. A […]

Chris Buescher Right Behind Brad Keselowski To Start Sunday
Chris Buescher starts 13th from Kansas on Sunday afternoon. The RFK Racing driver has been hot lately and netted another top five last week at Darlington. Kansas has been a different story for the Ford, however. The last top ten finish from Buescher in the "Fall" was back in 2017. Buescher was in the top […]

Denny Hamlin Tries To Shed Bad Luck In Kansas
Denny Hamlin has had some bad luck the past few weeks. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has an average finish of 5.7 at Kansas Speedway. This goes along with two wins. The No. 11 car has had two top five finishes during the second Kansas race. Hamlin did not lead a lap in either of […]

Carson Hocevar Should Overachieve at Kansas
Carson Hocevar has had one of the most remarkable NASCAR ascents in recent years. At Gateway, he outran Corey LaJoie in his regular car on his debut while LaJoie was driving the Hendrick #9 car. Last week, the 20-year-old wunderkind outqualified veteran teammate and Darlington master Erik Jones in his first start for Legacy Motor […]

Ross Chastain Winds Up In Top Five At Darlington
Ross Chastain began the Cook Out Southern 500 in 27th place. Toss in some attrition and a little bit of late-run speed and the Trackhouse Racing driver ended fifth after 367 laps. Now, the No. 1 car did not lead a single lap but the fifth-place result was important. It boosts the confidence of Chastain […]

William Byron Ends Up Fourth Sunday At Darlington
For William Byron, the race did not go quite as planned but it was not all bad. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver finished fourth after starting 23rd. Although, the No. 24 car never led a single lap, the +19 place differential combined with other results helped Byron. Now, he is 45 points above the cutoff […]

Chris Buescher Stays Hot With Third At Darlington
Chris Buescher seemed to lose some speed late and then he found enough to finish third at Darlington on Sunday night. Buescher and his RFK Racing car even managed to lead 36 laps which is encouraging heading to Kansas. Surprisingly both RFK Racing cars fared pretty well during the final long run of 55 laps. […]
