Denny Hamlin Could Fall Off At Road America
Denny Hamlin was another one of those drivers who worried about the lack of late practice speed even on Saturday. He qualified 14th for the Road America race on Sunday. However, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver dropped tenths of a second in crucial sectors including the late turns at the end of the 4.048-mile course. […]

Kyle Busch wound up being the highest qualified Toyota in 13th for the race in Wisconsin on Sunday. It seems hard to believe but what is crazier is how clustered the four main Toyotas were. Busch was only 0.125 seconds ahead of Christopher Bell, who qualified 16th. Practice speed became a bit of an issue […]

Ross Chastain and the No. 1 Chevy looked pretty strong early in qualifying and in practice. In the end, the TrackHouse Racing driver has already won this year on the road at COTA. Chastain wound up around a half season behind pole-sitter Chase Elliott. In some practice sectors, the Texan was a hair faster than […]

It has been a rough season for Brad Keselowski. However, he does start 11th on Sunday and did finish 13th on the 4.048-mile road course last year. The RFK Racing part-owner needs a win likely to make the chase. That may not happen this week but a good result is possible. Keselowski displayed good speed […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoAric Almirola Another Long-Shot Driver For Nashville
Aric Almirola begins Sunday evening from the 11th position for the Ally 400. The No. 10 Ford led one lap at Nashville last year but more importantly finished fourth on the track last season. Almirola gained speed and track position after Stage 2 last year. He went from eighth into the top-five and nearly top-three […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoAlex Bowman Worth A Look At Nashville
The Ally 400 could be a track Alex Bowman fares well at when it comes to the Sunday race. Bowman starts 12th and has looked good on similar tracks this year. That includes a fifth-place finish at Dover, a ninth-place showing at Kansas and a plus-12 place differential at Gateway. Again, if you are looking […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoWilliam Byron A Bit Troubling For Nashville
One cannot compare Nashville to just one track, and William Byron knows that better than anyone. This year on tracks somewhat similar, Byron has not fared too well. His 22nd-place finish at Dover and 19th-place finish at Gateway were worrisome. Even his 16th-place finish at Kansas was rough. This just clouds the early run Byron […]

A.J. Allmendinger qualified 14th at Nashville for the Ally 400 on Sunday evening. That was a bit of a surprise for the Kaulig Racing driver who usually has issues on hybrid tracks. Allmendinger watched his brakes fail at Dover but was not running well. Despite that, he managed a tenth at Gateway which was a […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoChris Buescher A Long Shot To Finish Well At Nashville
Chris Buescher is another driver with high aspirations at Nashville for the Ally 400. He starts in the top-15 after a runner-up finish at Sonoma. Also, the RFK Racing driver had a top-ten result at Dover (eighth) and even third on the dirt at Bristol. The Dover result is a bit more significant here. He […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoTyler Reddick May Have Some Issues At Nashville
Tyler Reddick starts 16th on Sunday for the Ally 400. The No. 8 Chevy has had some problems lately. It seems ever since Bristol (dirt), the driver has not quite enjoyed the same consistency or results for that matter. Despite mostly good qualifying numbers, Reddick has finished outside the top-30 three times with two DNF's […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoMichael McDowell Trying To Continue The Momentum
Michael McDowell finished in third at Sonoma before the NASCAR break. The Front Row Motorsports driver does have five top-ten results in his last nine races. Even at Gateway, McDowell led a total of 34 laps before problems set him knocking the driver back to 18th. He ironically begins 18th this week from Nashville as […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoDoes Kurt Busch's Up-And-Down Run Continue At Nashville?
Kurt Busch has had one wild ride this season, but one thing has been consistent over the last couple of the months: his inconsistency. The elder Busch has not finished in the top 15 twice in a row since late March. Part of that issue has been course construction, but part of that has also […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoRicky Stenhouse Jr. May Fly Under The Radar At Nashville
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. begins Sunday's Ally 400 from the 25th position. That may not be good for the Chevy but he will likely not be on many radars for this race. He was able to finish in the top-ten last year and has had some success on similar tracks. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver was […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoKyle Busch Starts From The Rear Sunday At Nashville
Kyle Busch cannot be a happy camper after having to start 36th for Sunday's Ally 400 in Nashville. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver had some bad luck in last year's race. He was in the top ten for good stretches and then fuel conservation became an issue. Most forget he was running third before that […]

Kyle Busch and his Joe Gibbs Racing car begins Sunday 12th at Sonoma Raceway. The younger Busch has come close the past two races at the California track. He finished in the top-five on both occasions. The No. 18 car has led 2.7% of the laps as well. Can his Toyota maintain speed without the […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoKurt Busch Starts Just Outside Top Ten On Sunday
Kurt Busch beat out his younger brother Kyle in qualifying for Sunday's race at Sonoma. That is the good news. The bad news is that the elder Busch just missed out on the final qualifying round. He will begin Sunday from the inside of Row Six. Busch started 30th last year and wound up sixth. […]

The TrackHouse Racing cars were indeed quite quick on Saturday afternoon. Ross Chastain will be on the inside of Row 4 and Daniel Suarez will be on the outside. Suarez was just 0.011 seconds behind his teammate in qualifying. The Sonoma track may be a bit of a challenge for the No. 99 car but […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoRoss Chastain One To Watch At Sonoma On Sunday
Ross Chastain keeps getting closer and closer to the points lead. He stands in third place just 17 points behind Chase Elliott. It will be a tall order for Chastain to finish ahead of Elliott on Sunday but Chastain did find a way to win at COTA for his first win of the season. Aside […]

Chris Wassel 2 years agoTyler Reddick Quick Enough To Start Fifth At Sonoma
Tyler Reddick did not seem that fast at first but the Chevy finished 0.245 seconds behind Kyle Larson. That was good enough for fifth place in qualifying. The No. 8 car driving for Richard Childress Racing has been fast in the Next-Gen setup all season. On road courses, Reddick has been improving. In his last […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoMichael McDowell Qualifies Fourth On Sunday
Michael McDowell did not have the best practice session but managed to put one good lap together when it counted. At 0.165 seconds behind Kyle Larson, the No. 34 Ford will start from the outside of Row Two (fourth spot) on Sunday. Does the Front Row Motorsports driver lose speed as the laps mount early? […]

Chris Wassel 2 years agoKyle Larson Wins Pole One More Time At Sonoma
Kyle Larson and this Sonoma Raceway are like synergy. Larson won the pole again on Saturday afternoon finishing 0.023 seconds ahead of Chase Elliott. It is not a surprise how fast the two Hendrick Motorsports racers were on Saturday. Larson won and led a bunch of laps last year. In his last two appearances, the […]

Greyson Sigg has struggled on the PGA Tour in 2022 but started off May on a promising note. He finished tied for 33rd at the Mexican Open. The American golfer closed that weekend with a 70-68 and had a few chances to shoot even lower. After that, the rest of the month was an exercise […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoCarlos Ortiz Looking To Get His Game Back In Canada
Carlos Ortiz has had a rough 2022 season so far. The Mexican golfer has missed seven cuts in all and has not cracked the Top-30 once in 13 PGA tournaments entered. He loses almost a half-stroke overall on the course which ranks 157th on the tour. If that is not bad enough, Ortiz hurts himself […]
Chris Wassel 2 years agoEmiliano Grillo Hard To Recommend At Canadian Open
Emiliano Grillo has been somewhat of an enigma in 2022. The Argentinian golfer started poorly at The Sony Open then missed seven out of the next nine cuts after an outside top-50 result at The American Express. Grillo just cannot put a few rounds together or even one sometimes. However, he has found a way […]
