Sam Burns Has Some Success At Harbour Town

Sam Burns won the WGC-Dell Match Play a few weeks ago. Only a badly timed third round 78 kept the American golfer from truly contending at The Masters. Still, Burns finished tied for 29th. He ranks ninth in strokes gained from putting at 0.719. His only weakness is approach to the green but that was […]

Sungjae Im Could Be In Contention Again

Sungjae Im had that one stumble in Round 2 of The Masters. The South Korean golfer rebounded with a 67 in Round 3. He kept it even on Sunday to preserve a top-20 result. It may not have been what Im wanted, but that consistency serves him well. Oddly enough, Im has not had a […]

Scottie Scheffler Makes First Appearance At RBC Heritage

Scottie Scheffler is in his fourth year on the PGA Tour but is making his first appearance at the RBC Heritage. The New Jersey native settled for a top-10 result at The Masters last week. Scheffler never truly was in contention, but he weathered the ups and downs. His ability to create shots could serve […]

Brad Keselowski Sat Back By Design For Sunday Perhaps

Brad Keselowski has been consistent at Bristol when all was said and done. He finished 11th last year and 11th in 2021. The RFK Racing driver finished ninth err last in his qualifying heat. As a result, Keselowski starts 33rd for Sunday's Food City Dirt Race. The No. 6 Ford had place differentials of +7 […]

Denny Hamlin Laid Back To Help At Bristol Sunday

Denny Hamlin seemed to have a plan to lay back in the field during his qualifying heat on Saturday. Will that help for Sunday at the Food City Dirt Race? The Bristol track is unforgiving enough. At least conditions will be dry. Last year, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver lost his engine early but the […]

Martin Truex Jr. In Trouble For Bristol Sunday

Martin Truex Jr. and his Joe Gibbs Racing car has not fared well since that win in Los Angeles. Arguably, that has been his only highlight of 2023. His results have not been overtly bad. However, the 19th last week at Richmond only exacerbated his frustrations after leading 56 laps. The No. 19 Toyota never […]

Aric Almirola Could Struggle Again At Bristol

Aric Almirola has not adapted well to Bristol in the two incarnations of the dirt race. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has finished 23rd and 36th respectively. Almirola starts Sunday from the 19th spot in his No. 10 Ford. He never seems to get into much clean air and his car does not have the downforce […]

Erik Jones Tries To Find Groove At Bristol

Erik Jones has not enjoyed the 2023 season for Legacy Motor Club. Jones and his Chevy begin Bristol from the 18th position on Sunday. Jones had several issues which dropped him to 24th last year after a ninth in 2021. He was faster in his heat on Saturday but still finished fourth. Lap times started […]

Alex Bowman Hoping For Solid Showing At Bristol

After losing 60 points for a violation in his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports car, Alex Bowman starts 17th for the race on Sunday at Bristol. At last year's Food City Dirt Race, Bowman got up to sixth at the end after dropping in the middle portion of the race. Something happened in Stage 2, adjustments […]

Todd Gilliland Not In Bad Position For Bristol

Todd Gilliland starts the Food City Dirt Race from the 15th position on Sunday night. Place differential is tough to gauge on dirt tracks and a short track like Bristol. However, last year Gilliland moved up six spots from 23rd to 17th. He did seem to lay back in his Front Row Motorsports Ford during […]

Chase Briscoe A Real Wildcard At Bristol

Chase Briscoe came so close to winning the Food City Dirt Race last year. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver tried to pass Tyler Reddick on the final lap and did not have enough forward speed. The result was Briscoe spinning in tandem with Reddick. Despite leading 59 laps, that dropped the Ford driver all the way […]

Joey Logano Unofficial Favorite For Bristol

Joey Logano and Bristol seem to go well together. The Team Penske driver won the Food City Dirt Race two years ago and wound up third last year. He was not happy in 2022 as Logano did not lead a single lap. Though the No. 22 Ford carried top-five late speed, he simply ran out […]

Bubba Wallace Searching For Result At Bristol

Bubba Wallace had high hopes for 23XI Racing in 2023. So far, the results have been lacking for the No. 23 driver. It has been his teammate, Tyler Reddick, who has stolen the show. Wallace has a fourth at Vegas and three DNF's in seven races. For Bristol, he starts 11th. The last two attempts […]

William Byron Rounds Out Top Ten For Bristol

It has been an eventful week for William Byron. Byron and his team were docked 60 points for a "greenhouse violation". That illegal modification to the center section of the car did not result in any loss of playoff points, however. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has been fast all season, won twice, and might […]

Ryan Blaney Tries For Win At Bristol

Ryan Blaney still has not won a race since 2021. The Team Penske Ford has come close a few times including a fifth and eighth at the Food City Dirt Race. Blaney performed well in his heat but was in the slowest qualifying heat. It will be intriguing to see how his No. 12 Ford […]

Ryan Preece Liked The Setup For Bristol On Saturday

Ryan Preece thrived with the setup on his Stewart-Haas Ford. Preece qualified eighth while finishing near the lead in his heat on Saturday evening. Though he did not lead a single lap of the 15, the No. 41 car showed some solid laps times in the 19.6 and 19.7 second range. With the dirt race […]

Austin Cindric Trying To Improve From Bristol Last Year

Austin Cindric finished 16th at Bristol last year and aims to improve from last year's result. The Team Penske driver begins seventh on Sunday for the Food City Dirt Race. He did get into the top 15 a few times last year before sliding back during the final laps. His pass differential as a rookie […]

Tyler Reddick Wants To Finish Off Bristol

Tyler Reddick starts Sunday's Food City Dirt Race from the sixth position. That is fine for Reddick, who was in line to win last year's edition when disaster struck. Chase Briscoe dive bombed on his low side spinning him just enough. The result was the loss of a sure win. Reddick settled for second after […]

Kyle Busch Tries To Repeat Bristol Result Sunday

Kyle Busch won the race last year in a Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing. Now, Busch has moved over to Chevy. He is in the No. 8 that was occupied by Tyler Reddick. Reddick was fast and primed to win. Can Busch and Richard Childress Racing replicate that late speed? The answer is unknown based […]

Christopher Bell Enjoys Good Result Qualifying Saturday

Christopher Bell likes the dirt and short-track racing in general. Bell and his Joe Gibbs Racing car qualified fourth for the Food City Dirt Race. On the Bristol track, the No. 20 car looked quite at ease. He finished seventh last year. After slipping back in the final stage (third and second in the first […]

Austin Dillon Starts Sunday In Second For Bristol

Austin Dillon surprised more than a few people on Saturday by qualifying second for the Food City Dirt Race. With only the heats to serve as practice and qualifying in one, Dillon and his Richard Childress Racing car thrived. Thankfully, the rain held off as the lap times came down under 20 seconds. Dillon has […]

Kyle Larson Snags Pole For Bristol Dirt

Kyle Larson was the quickest of the quick on Saturday night getting around 15 laps at Bristol in five minutes and 14 seconds. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver may not like the dirt on this track, but he was quite fast. The No. 5 car starts well early, but the question may be that 100 […]

Harrison Crowe Heads To Masters As Amateur Makes Waves

Harrison Crowe is arguably more well known as a golfer who hit an illegal trick shot at St. Andrews. However, the Australian amateur golfer has more talent than most acknowledge. Crowe has won five times as an amateur including at the Asia-Pacific last year. He has a couple top-tens and comes off a respectable 29th […]

Bernard Langer Takes Senior Winning To The Masters

Bernard Langer had an amazing PGA career but his Senior Tour career has been even better. His 45 wins and 40 runner-ups are an incredible accomplishment. The German golfer is tied with Hale Irwin's record in the 50+ tour. Langer has had five top-20 results in his six appearances on the Champions Tour in 2023. […]

Adrian Meronk Makes History At The Masters

Adrian Meronk made history at Augusta this week by becoming the first Polish golfer to play at The Masters. Meronk has two wins in his career (last year in Australia) and a T4 just last week at the Ras Al Khaimah Championship. Aside from a third-round 75 there, Meronk looked to be in good form, […]

Billy Horschel Sputtering As The Masters Looms

Billy Horschel nearly got into the elite eight at the WGC Match Play, but that has been his only quality result in 2023. The American golfer has been decent at times, but mostly it has been missed shots, a wonky driver, and some mediocre putting. Horschel has missed three cuts and is one of the […]

Alex Noren May Struggle At Augusta This Week

Alex Noren has endured a rough 2023. The Swedish veteran golfer has missed a few cuts (three in his last six tournaments). Even at The Valero, Noren finished tied for 15th but never could make enough birdies to truly contend. This year has featured a lot of inaccuracy off the tee. Driving accuracy ranks 146th […]

Seamus Power A Bit Cold Heading To The Masters

Seamus Power was thriving early in the season with a win at the Butterfield in Bermuda. The Irish golfer strung along seven straight top-25 results then March happened. It seems the Arnold Palmer Championship wreaked some havoc with his golf game. Power never shot under par in any of the four rounds and went 76-78 […]
