Chase Elliott Snags The Pole At Watkins Glen
Chase Elliott found a way to nab another pole at Watkins Glen on Saturday. It was not all great but Elliott and his Hendrick Motorsports racing car edged Kyle Larson by 0.039 seconds to start from the top spot on Sunday. When one thinks about it, on road courses, it is those top five or […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoKimi Raikkonen Handled NASCAR Car Well In Qualifying
Granted, the Finnish Formula 1 driver will start 27th on Sunday but his TrackHouse Racing car may afford him the ability to move up some positions at the very least. His No. 91 Chevy showed some flashes of speed in practice and though he was 20th there, enough adjustments could be made to get his […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoRyan Blaney Starts 26th On Sunday At The Glen
This was probably not how Ryan Blaney drew it up for Sunday. He starts 26th at "The Glen". The No. 12 Ford just could not accelerate properly out of most of the turns. One could see Blaney just kept bleeding time. His practice laps were not that much better. Now, 1.25 MPH slower does not […]

It was mostly a nightmare once again for the Toyota cars as Martin Truex Jr. will start 25th on Sunday. The Joe Gibbs Racing car just could not generate enough lap speed to do well in qualifying. This felt like a familiar refrain with the Next-Gen car. Road courses and Toyota have mostly not been […]

Joey Logano led a ton of laps and just could not win last week. This week, he begins way back in 20th for Watkins Glen. The twist is the Team Penske driver may be better off. Logano has finished in the top-ten in eight of the past 16 road races he has entered. While the […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoRoss Chastain May Be Risky At Watkins Glen
Ross Chastain fell back a bit and wound up qualifying 18th for Sunday at Watkins Glen. That was a bit of a shock as Daniel Suarez easily made the top-ten (starting ninth). The TrackHouse Racing driver and his No. 1 car seemed just a little off in the later turns of the lap. That took […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoTy Gibbs May Surprise A Little On Sunday
Ty Gibbs qualified 16th despite the issues with the Toyota cars. Road courses and Toyota this year do not seem to get along. Gibbs and the 23XI Racing car was one of only two drivers to make the top-20. It was that kind of Saturday. Even Kyle Busch had engine issues along with Christopher Bell. […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoBrad Keselowski Might Have Issues At Watkins Glen
Brad Keselowski did turn in a pretty solid lap on Saturday. That will get him in the top-15 to start the Go Bowling at The Glen. Now, how does his RFK Racing Ford do once the race starts is the question? He is not among the top third when it comes to average finish on […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoChase Briscoe Could Be In Decent Position For Sunday

Sahith Theegala showed a glimpse of what his future could be like. When he opened up with a 63 at the St. Jude, that drew a considerable amount of notice. The only problem was Theegala could only manage to go two-under for the final three round. Still, he finished a mere six shots off the […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoMito Pereira Starting To Improve
Just surviving to make the cut last week at the St. Jude helped Mito Pereira. The Chilean golfer managed to shoot under par over the weekend and wound up 42nd. It was not the greatest result but an effective one. This is because Pereira missed five straight cuts leading up to the tournament at TPC […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoCam Davis Keeps Rolling With Another Top Finish
Cam Davis has now finished inside the top 20 three times in his last three tournaments. That included a T13 last week at the St. Jude.

Chris Wassel 2 years agoSi Woo Kim Inconsistent Heading To BMW Championship
Si Woo Kim had one of the strangest tournaments last week. The Korean golfer opened up with a tour de force 62 which put him in the lead and then he proceeded to just miss putts and some shots. That 73-72 middle knocked Kim right out of contention. Then on Sunday, when he was far […]

Adam Hadwin had a weekend he would like to forget at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. It was thought the 76 was bad on Saturday but the 77 on Sunday was an even bigger disaster. That dropped the Canadian golfer from the top 20 all the way to 69th. The BMW Championship course in Wilmington […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoBrian Harman Tries To Continue Momentum From St. Jude
Brian Harman just kept making putts and stayed in the FedEx St. Jude Championship last weekend. The American golfer shot in the 60's for all four rounds. That consistency helped him finish in a tie for third. That boosted his FedEx Cup ranking all the way up to 23rd. This week, Harman tries to improve […]

Chez Reavie had a rough Sunday last week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Reavie finished with a two-over 72 which tumbled him down to a tie for 51st. So, that was a 47th. 49th, and 51st the past three weeks for the American golfer. It is that -0.37 strokes gained putting that hurts Reavie […]

Patrick Cantlay attempts to bounce back this week at the BMW Championship. Last week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the American golfer faltered over the weekend after a 71 and 72.

Chris Wassel 2 years agoKyle Busch Starts 29th At Richmond Sunday
Kyle Busch has not been having the best season for Joe Gibbs Racing. Starting 29th on Sunday at Richmond is far from optimal. The younger Busch in the No. 18 car ran a long time on the track and even had 20,25, and 30 lap intervals. What that showed was his car did get faster […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoChase Elliott Not Happy In Qualifying On Saturday
Unlike teammate Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott was far from pleased with his qualifying effort at Richmond on Saturday. Elliott and his No. 9 car will begin 23rd on Sunday from Richmond Raceway.

Chris Wassel 2 years agoChris Buescher Long Shot To Finish Top Ten

Chris Wassel 2 years agoJoey Logano Could Move Up At Richmond

Chase Briscoe qualified 15th for the Federated Auto Parts 400 on Sunday at Richmond Raceway. Briscoe's Ford was quick in sectors on the 0.75-mile track but lost time in the final turn in qualifying.

Chris Wassel 2 years agoTy Gibbs Enjoying Extended Run With 23XI Racing
Ty Gibbs is getting more and more comfortable with the Next-Gen car at the highest level of NASCAR. He starts Richmond in 14th on Sunday and if the Toyotas run well later in the race as expected, that might benefit Gibbs. In his Xfinity days, the driver of the No. 45 car ran well enough […]
