NASCAR DFS Prop Picks for GEICO 500 - PrizePicks

We get ready for Sunday afternoon (April 23rd, 2023) as the GEICO 500 comes to us from Talladega Superspeedway in Lincoln, Alabama. This is the tenth 2023 edition of NASCAR DFS on PrizePicks. Our friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great […]


Tyler Reddick Starts 13th At Talladega On Sunday

Tyler Reddick begins 13th at Talladega on Sunday afternoon. Where does he end up? That's the unknown. Reddick raced with Richard Childress Racing and the Chevy up until this year. Now, in the 23XI Racing Toyota, Reddick has had some great moments and not so great ones. He does have two seventh-placed results at Talladega. […]


Alex Bowman Could Move Up On Sunday

Alex Bowman begins 27th on Sunday and that may prove to be advantageous for DFS owners especially along with other prop players. Bowman had unfortunate luck in 2021 but Spring at Talladega has been pretty good. Bowman has results of ninth, seventh, second, and eighth in previous first races. Last year, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing […]


Kevin Harvick Going For Another Top Ten At Talladega

Kevin Harvick had an adventurous 2022 at Talladega. The Stewart-Haas Racing car struggled to finish 29th in October, but managed a tenth in April. That may have been higher if not for pit issues. Sadly the pits were the pits too often for Harvick last season. However, the No. 4 car has four top-ten results […]


Chris Buescher May Be In Talladega Contention After All

Anything can happen, but Chris Buescher starts tenth at Talladega on Sunday. That is great news considering the RFK Racing driver never started inside the top-15 once. The 2.66-mile track has been a source of mixed results for the No. 17 Ford. He was in the top-ten in six of his past seven appearances after […]


Kyle Busch Slight Question Mark At Talladega

It has been an interesting season for Kyle Busch at Richard Childress Racing. He did win that one race but the No. 8 car did get collected twice at Daytona. Both times, Busch was rather fast though. So, can that Chevy stay incident-free or close to it on Sunday? That always remains unknown at Talladega. […]


Bubba Wallace May Lead Early On Sunday

Do not be surprised if Bubba Wallace winds up leading early on Sunday at Talladega. His last two Spring races have seen the 23XI Racing driver lead double-digit laps on the 2.66-mile course. In 2022, Wallace unfortunately faded late to a 17th-placed result. This time around, he starts 12th. He does have an average result […]


Michael McDowell Good At Superspeedways

Michael McDowell did win once upon a time at Daytona. However, the Front Row Motorsports driver has been good at Talladega too. The last two Spring races have been excellent in terms of place differential for the No. 37 Ford. In 2021, there was that +20 where he sped up to near the front and […]


Kyle Larson Could Be One To Watch Sunday

Kyle Larson put it all together last Spring at Talladega. He contended for each stage and wound up finishing fourth. If not for a few minor mishaps, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver might have won. That being said, the No. 5 car seems to have issues more often than usual on this superspeedway. Part of […]


Joey Logano Trying To Shed Bad Luck At Talladega

Joey Logano has not had much luck at Talladega lately. Over his last seven appearances, Logano has 3 DNF's. The last couple of Spring races have been more concerning. It is just not the Spring 2021 accident but in 2022, Logano was not the expected factor then got collected by one of those "big ones." […]


Ryan Blaney Near The Top At Talladega

Ryan Blaney and his Team Penske Ford car starts Sunday fifth at Talladega. The No. 12 car has led ten or more laps in six of his last seven appearances. Blaney had back-to-back wins a few years ago and finished second in October. He is one of those drivers who enjoys "restrictor plate" racing. Blaney […]


Martin Truex Jr. Among Four Top Toyota Cars In Qualifying

Martin Truex Jr. begins seventh at Talladega on Sunday for the GEICO 500. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver finished just behind teammate Christopher Bell. Now, Truex Jr. has not had many good results on the 2.66-mile superspeedway. However, that one came last April when the No. 19 car finished fifth. The odd thing was that […]


Christopher Bell In The Mix For Sunday At Talladega

Christopher Bell starts from the sixth position for the GEICO 500 from Talladega on Sunday afternoon. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver started from the pole in the last two events in Alabama. However, issues seem to always plague the No. 20 car. Last Spring, Bell led seven laps early and even finished third after the […]


NASCAR DFS Prop Picks for NOCO 400 - PrizePicks

We look to Sunday afternoon (April 16th, 2023) as the NOCO 400 comes to us from Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Virginia. This is the ninth 2023 edition of NASCAR DFS on PrizePicks. Our friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS […]


Austin Dillon Begins 18th At Martinsville On Sunday

Austin Dillon and the Richard Childress Racing Chevy begin in 18th on Sunday, right next to teammate Kyle Busch. Dillon thrived last year during the late run at Martinsville en route to a third-place effort. The No. 3 car was sixth after Stage 2 and stayed near the front the rest of the way. However, […]


A.J. Allmendinger May Slide Back At Martinsville

While A.J. Allmendinger qualified 14th at Martinsville for Sunday, it is the later speed in races which has been lacking. Short tracks have not been kind to the Kaulig Racing driver and his Chevy. He finished 25th in total speed at Phoenix then 27th at Richmond. Worse, his two recent appearances at Martinsville produced results […]


Chris Buescher In Good Position At Martinsville

Chris Buescher wound up in the final group of qualifying on Saturday and starts tenth for Sunday's race at Martinsville. Early on, the RFK Racing Ford driver has shown more of his Spring form as his total speed has been good (13th at Phoenix and 12th in Richmond). Last year, that netted Buescher a 15th […]


Ricky Stenhouse Jr. May Fade At Martinsville

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has had a very nice 2023. He won the Daytona 500 and has three top ten results in eight races. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver begins Sunday from the 16th position at Martinsville. Now, the worry comes later in the race. Stenhouse Jr. and his No. 47 Chevy had issues at Richmond […]


Harrison Burton Remains On Hot Seat At Martinsville

Harrison Burton flirted with the top ten last Fall at Martinsville before ending up 11th. However, coming into the race on Sunday, things have gone from bad to worse for the Wood Brothers Racing driver. Burton and his No. 21 Ford qualified in 31st on Saturday. The car and driver have not been in sync […]


Austin Cindric A Bit Slow Qualifying At Martinsville

Austin Cindric qualified 13th as a rookie last year at Martinsville but maybe the last two efforts are more indicative of performance. There was a 30th in the Fall and then 25th for Sunday. Cindric and his Team Penske Ford just seemed slow and slower in the turns. It was like his brake zone was […]


Erik Jones Having Issues At Martinsville Again

Erik Jones has not had the most pleasant 2023 season so far. Jones and his Legacy Motor Club Chevy did not qualify well. He starts the NOCO 400 from the 28th position on Sunday. Jones does finish better later in races, however. He showed positive place differential in the last three appearances (five of previous […]


Ty Gibbs Starts 12th At Martinsville On Sunday

Ty Gibbs looked a little more comfortable in qualifying on Saturday. He will start Martinsville 12th on Sunday. Gibbs stepped in last year and finished 19th on the short track after beginning 26th. Now in the Joe Gibbs Racing car, the Toyota could be of even greater benefit. At Richmond, Gibbs rode the low downforce […]


Tyler Reddick Bit Of A Question Mark At Martinsville

Tyler Reddick does not typically excel on short tracks but does being in the 23XI Racing Toyota make a difference on Sunday? So far, the answer on the oval tracks has been kind of a mixed bag. He was fast in Phoenix but only 21st in total speed at Richmond. Over the past three years, […]


Brad Keselowski Could Get Going Late At Martinsville

Brad Keselowski did not qualify well at Martinsville at all on Saturday. The 21st had to feel like a disappointment for the RFK Racing driver. However, the No. 6 Ford has been good in the low downforce package this season. He scored an eighth in total speed at Phoenix and ninth in Richmond. There were […]


Denny Hamlin Could Be Factor At Martinsville

Denny Hamlin starts 11th on Sunday in the No. 11 car for Joe Gibbs Racing. The driver has had his unlucky breaks here on the short track but has led 21.5% of the laps in the last six races. Martinsville has been an adventure but Hamlin does have two top-five results. He has good speed […]


Kevin Harvick Turns In Top Seven Qualifying Time Saturday

Kevin Harvick brought up the rear from Stewart-Haas Racing on Saturday in qualifying. Normally, that is bad but his lap still qualified him seventh for the NOCO 400 on Sunday afternoon. Harvick and his teammates seemed to slowly cruise around the 0.526-mile track until qualifying. The strange part is Martinsville is one of those tracks […]


Martin Truex Jr. Still Trying To Find Victory Lane

Martin Truex Jr. and his Joe Gibbs Racing car were incredible in Los Angeles. Since then, it has been a bit of a mixed bag. However, this low downforce packages suits Truex Jr. and his No. 19 Toyota well. When it comes to overall total speed, Truex Jr. came in around the top five from […]


J.J. Spaun May Struggle At RBC Heritage

J.J. Spaun has his moments, but too many times the American golfer cannot get out of his own way. Spaun has missed four cuts and has not had a top-10 finish in stroke play since Hawaii in January. He won the Valero Open and followed it up with a tie for 22nd at the same […]


Adam Hadwin A Bit Up And Down As RBC Heritage Looms

Adam Hadwin has one win on the PGA Tour and only has one top-10 result in 2023 itself. That came at the WM Phoenix Open. The Canadian golfer has missed two cuts in his previous four tournaments too. Also, he has not played since the WGC Match Play a few weeks ago. Maybe the rest […]


Tyrrell Hatton Trying To Get Back To March Form

Tyrrell Hatton looked poised to be a factor at The Masters on Sunday. However, a 76 dropped him just outside the top-30. The English golfer looked great in March with a top-five at the Arnold Palmer then a solo second at The Players one week later. Hatton's key has to be his balance. His strokes […]
