Austin Cindric And The Sophomore Slump

Austin Cindric starts 24th again for Team Penske on Sunday at the Ally 400. Unlike last year, the chances of Cindric finishing seventh are not as good. The No. 2 Ford is 39 points out of a playoff spot and has no top five results let alone a win. It seems light years ago that […]

Erik Jones May Struggle At Ally 400 This Time

Erik Jones benefitted twice in some ways from attrition at the Nashville Superspeedway. Last year, he moved up 12 spots to 11th and probably should have finished in the top ten. This year, he starts 23rd again. The Legacy Motor Club driver is having a nightmarish 2023 season. Jones stands 30th in the standings and […]

Christopher Bell Struggled In Qualifying At Nashville

Christopher Bell had one of those days in the Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota. He starts the Ally 400 from the 22nd spot on Sunday evening hoping to move up in position. It is kind of a pattern for Bell. His average start is 17th on the track and Bell began 25th in 2021 and still […]

Aric Almirola Has Tougher Task Ahead At Ally 400

Aric Almirola has thrived at the Nashville Superspeedway. He even had a respectable 17th after starting 11th last year. That followed up a fourth-place result in 2021. He won the pole in 2021, began 2022 in 11th, and now finds himself 21st. The Stewart-Haas Racing Ford also finds himself in the middle of wholesale team […]

Brad Keselowski Might Surprise At Ally 400

Brad Keselowski has not enjoyed much success at the Nashville Superspeedway. He has two finishes outside the top 20 and he starts 20th this Sunday for the Ally 400. The RFK Racing Ford is enjoying a better season in the points (12th) despite no wins. Keselowski does have three top-five results though. This is a […]

A.J. Allmendinger Tries To Copy Xfinity Success Sunday

A.J. Allmendinger starts the Ally 400 from 19th on Sunday evening. However, he was in the middle of the pack yesterday then got into a contending position. The second overtime saw him run away with the proceedings as he won the Tennessee Lottery 250. At the Nashville Superspeedway, Allmendinger scored his 17th Xfinity win. As […]

Chase Briscoe In The Middle For Ally 400

Chase Briscoe again ends up in the middle of the pack for the Ally 400. Now, 18th is an improvement considering his average starting position at Nashville is 22nd. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has not fared the greatest. However, he was third after Stage 2 in 2021 and led five laps before an accident ruined […]

Kevin Harvick At Nashville For The Final Time

The Kevin Harvick farewell tour continues as the Ally 400 is next on Sunday evening. Harvick starts off this race 17th after a fairly average qualifying effort. It seems the Stewart-Haas Racing changes had little effect as Harvick was the highest qualifying car. His No. 4 Ford finished practice 17th fastest overall as well. The […]

Ty Gibbs Starts 16th For Ally 400 Sunday

Ty Gibbs did not quite get around the turns as fast as he thought. Gibbs begins Sunday's race from the 16th position. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has never raced on the Nashville track at this level. He did show some success during the Xfinity race on Saturday before Austin Hill and him had a […]

Ryan Blaney Begins 13th At Nashville Sunday

Ryan Blaney has enjoyed a wild ride during his two races at the Ally 400. 2021 saw him crash out and wind up 37th but 2022 was different. The Team Penske driver finished third and yet only led one lap. It was like the No. 12 was fast but not quite fast enough. Blaney could […]

Alex Bowman A Bit Forgotten For Ally 400

Alex Bowman starts Sunday evening from the 15th spot for the Ally 400. Bowman was a victim of the dreaded DVP last year winding up 36th. The year before he was close to the top ten often before slipping back to 14th late. The fourth Hendrick Motorsports Racing car gets overlooked frequently. However, every so […]

Chase Elliott Starts 14th At The Ally 400 Sunday

Chase Elliott probably expected a better qualifying effort for Sunday's Ally 400. However, 14th is where he wound up. Elliott's Hendrick Motorsports Chevy did not quite have the overall speed to get into the final round of qualifying. Elliott ran faster last year, led 42 laps, and benefitted from the late race conditions as he […]

Chris Buescher Winds Up Qualifying 12th For Ally 400

Chris Buescher starting a few spots above his normal in Nashville is not that surprising. Consider, that he qualified 15th last year and 17th the year before. So, 12th is not that far off. The RFK Racing driver could enjoy a boost late in his Ford as the No. 17 car showed some solid late-run […]

Kyle Busch Looked Ready For Ally 400 On Sunday

Kyle Busch qualified 11th for the Ally 400 on Sunday evening from outside of Nashville. Busch, now driving in the Richard Childress Chevrolet may not have the issues that plagued him last year. Busch dropped to 21st after several problems after being firmly in the top ten and leading 54 laps. His Chevy did not […]

Denny Hamlin Begins Eighth For Ally 400

Denny Hamlin was among four Toyota cars in the final round of qualifying on Saturday. He did lose it a bit in a couple of corners and ended up outside on Row 4 for the Ally 400. If anyone remembers last year's race, Hamlin and the No. 11 car dominated. He led 114 laps in […]

Kyle Larson Always A Threat At The Ally 400

Kyle Larson is fast at most tracks but was not quite as quick during Saturday's final qualifying session. He ended up seventh in the Hendrick Motorsports Chevy. That was behind teammate William Byron (fifth). Spots two through seven were separated by a mere 0.046 seconds. That is not a lot of difference. The No. 5 […]

William Byron Leads Hendrick Charge And Qualifies Fifth

William Byron was not the name most expected to see as top Hendrick Motorsports qualifier for the Ally 400. Yet, here we are. Byron will start fifth on Sunday evening ahead of Kyle Larson (7th) and Chase Elliott (14th). The No. 24 car never led a lap just outside of Nashville but did finish third […]

Joey Logano Surges To Fourth In Qualifying Saturday

Joey Logano delivered the goods when it counts on Saturday. As a result, he will start the Ally 400 from the fourth position on Sunday evening. Logano's Team Penske car was fast enough when it counted and delivered a lap a whisker behind Justin Haley and Tyler Reddick. Logano has fared well on the track […]

Justin Haley Shows Speed At Nashville In Qualifying

Justin Haley did not surprise himself but his Chevy was lightning quick all through qualifying on Saturday. The Kaulig Racing car ended up third a mere 0.211 seconds behind Ross Chastain. It was quite a departure from his two previous efforts on the track. Then, Haley started both times outside the top-20 and predictably finished […]

Tyler Reddick Begins Ally 400 Second On Sunday Night

Tyler Reddick showed his speed on the Nashville area track once more on Saturday with an excellent time. The hot and slick conditions were right for the 23XI Racing driver. Reddick finished 0.208 seconds behind pole-sitter Ross Chastain. Reddick does enjoy some success on intermediate tracks (one win in last 37 races) with 18 top-ten […]

Tom Hoge Trying To Piece Form Back Together

Tom Hoge has not had a good time of it over the past three months. Since his tied for third at The Players Championship, the American golfer has struggled mightily at times. Hoge missed three cuts, got knocked out in the first round of match play, and has not finished in the top-40 in any […]

Seamus Power Might Enjoy Connecticut This Weekend

Seamus Power is away from the more technical and rough golf courses for this weekend's Travelers Championship. That is probably good news since he has not had any top 20 results since the Byron Nelson back in May. Since then, it has been two missed cuts in three tournaments for the Irish golfer. That is […]

Denny McCarthy Keeps Putter Warm For Travelers

Denny McCarthy will need to keep his putter warm for the Travelers Championship. The American golfer finished in the top 30 for the sixth time in his past seven events. That included a playoff loss to Viktor Hovland at The Memorial earlier in the month. McCarthy excels at putting gaining 0.753 strokes gained (fourth on […]

Sahith Theegala Tries To Turn Back Clock Again

Sahith Theegala comes to the scene of one of his best performances. The American golfer finished tied for second last year at the Travelers Championship. Theegala wound up two strokes behind Xander Schauffele and a mere five shots off the course record. Since his last top ten in April, Theegala has struggled a bit. Though […]

Tony Finau To Bounce Back After Another Tough Major

For the third major in a row, Tony Finau just could not put a good weekend together. At the U.S. Open, the American golfer shot 72-74 after being in contention going into Saturday. Putts just did not drop as a few errant shots into the rough derailed things for Finau. This weekend could see better […]

Jon Rahm Among Contenders At The Travelers

Jon Rahm is looking to seize on the momentum generated by his final round 65 on Sunday. The Los Angeles Country Club seemed to open up as the Spanish golfer finally saw some putts drop. That reversal of fortune vaulted him from 38th into the top ten. Rahm comes into the Travelers as the second […]

Our friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. However, this time, these props will […]

Justin Haley Might Have Potential At Sonoma

Justin Haley might carry a little potential for the Toyota Save Mart 350 from a place differential perspective. It is risky but the Kaulig Racing car has been pretty fast this weekend. Yes, A.J. Allmendinger is a road driving master but Haley has some results. That includes a 12th last year on the 110-lap version […]

Harrison Burton May Have Hit Rock Bottom Saturday

Harrison Burton is already on the hot seat at Wood Brothers Racing. He finished 27th last year in the points standings and is 28th currently. Saturday may have been the low point for Burton as he qualified dead last behind Grant Enfinger. Burton's No. 21 Ford was more than 2.6 seconds off from pole-sitter Denny […]

Ryan Preece Begins 22nd For Sonoma

Ryan Preece and Kevin Harvick qualified with the same identical time of 78.68 seconds for the Toyota Save Mart 350. By "microns" of a second, Harvick was awarded 21st and Preece 22nd. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver is mired in 26th in the points without a single top ten effort. That also is marred by four […]
