William Byron Might Thrive At Michigan
William Byron charged up the field last year at Michigan. He started 18th and wound up second when all was said and done. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver even led 18 laps and finished in the top-nine during both stages. His car was fast. This year looks familiar as Byron qualified only in 20th. Byron […]

Cole Custer Might Struggle At Michigan
Cole Custer starts 17th on Sunday at Michigan and though he has shown flashes of speed, Custer may struggle again. In three races, the Ford driver has finished no higher than 23rd. To be fair, his qualifying has left a bit to be desired. Even his fourth effort produced another start outside the top-15. He […]

Kevin Harvick Should Contend At Michigan
Kevin Harvick and his Stewart-Haas Racing Ford should at least contend at Michigan. Winning is another completely different question as issues have just plagued the No. 4 Ford all season. He is around the top ten in points despite of pit strategy and all sorts of maladies. At Michigan, Harvick has won three of the […]

Daniel Suarez Hit Or Miss At Michigan
Daniel Suarez has shown an ability to race well at Michigan International Speedway. He has two top five results mixed in his past five races there. However, those came when Suarez was still racing for Stewart-Haas Racing. How will TrackHouse Racing fare at the 2.0-mile track on Sunday? That is a great question. Consider that […]

Can Michael McDowell Do It Again At Michigan?
History says no but Michael McDowell, even with sanctions, still finished in the top ten last week at the Brickyard. That eighth was more surprising than any other result this season.

Chase Elliott Possible Contender At Michigan
Other than one DNF, Chase Elliott and his #9 car have finished in the top ten the past four times at Michigan International Speedway. That average finish of 10.6 ranks a respectable seventh among all active drivers. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has some built in DFS upside since he qualified 13th. With the Next-Gen […]

Ty Gibbs Starts Just Outside The Top Ten Sunday
Ty Gibbs was the last Toyota to qualify on Saturday but still placed 11th among all cars and was easily one of the five or six fastest in terms of lap time. Because of NASCAR's qualifying matrix, it is more how one advances in the groups. That being said, Gibbs has some interesting experience driving […]

Si Woo Kim Gaining Steam For Wyndham This Week
Among the longer shots going into The Wyndham Championship this week, Si Woo Kim is gaining some notice. This comes off consecutive top-15 finishes where the Korean golfer did not finish as well as he would have liked (73-70). So, the natural order dictates that if Kim cleans up those late mistakes, he could finish […]

K.H. Lee May Be One To Watch At Wyndham
Even for DFS purposes, K.H. Lee is an intriguing golfer this week for the Wyndham Championship. When he can put his game together, the Korean golfer can post some great scores. That -26 at the AT&T Byron Nelson was some four-round run and yes, he won that tournament. How much did that final round 73 […]

Brandt Snedeker Trying To Find Stroke At Wyndham
Brandt Snedeker has endured a rough 2022 season. He ranks 180th in the FedEx Cup and in the 300's when it comes to world rankings. If that is not tough enough, the American golfer has missed the cut the last two tournaments Snedeker has entered (ten of last 14). He drives less than 285 off […]

Jason Day's Performance Last Week Could Be A Good Omen
Jason Day did not win the Rocket Mortgage Classic last week but he finished off the tournament well. Considering the layoff and such, the Australian golfer made some putts on Sunday en route to a final round 66. After a 3M Open where the rust showed, that was not the case on a course more […]

Chez Reavie Needs To Make Putts To Contend
Thankfully for Chez Reavie, the Wyndham Championship is a par-70 course that is only a little over 7,100 yards. However, he drives the ball so poorly at around 281 yards and his putting gains -0.332 strokes which ranks just 182nd. The American golfer can be on somewhat like at the Barracuda Championship where he won […]

Erik Jones Worth A Look At Indianapolis
This may seem foolhardy, at best, but Erik Jones is at least worth a look at Indianapolis. No one knows how Martin Truex Jr. and some of the other Toyotas will perform on Sunday. The No. 43 driver from Petty GMS Motorsports just re-upped with the team for a couple more seasons. With his racing […]

Kyle Larson Place Differential Rise Inevitable Sunday
Kyle Larson starting just 22nd turned a few heads during qualifying on Saturday but do not panic. Look at who is around him. A.J. Allmendinger who won last year is 20th and Ross Chastain is 21st (COTA winner). Other than Chase Elliott, Larson is the only driver to win multiple times on road courses the […]

Ross Chastain Can Run Strong At Indianapolis
Ross Chastain, like Daniel Suarez, has a fast road racing car for Indianapolis on Sunday. The TrackHouse Racing driver has already won a road race this year at COTA.

A.J. Allmendinger Starts Title Defense 20th At Indy
A.J. Allmendinger had a wild ride at Indianapolis last year en route to a glorious victory. The Kaulig Racing driver begins 20th on Sunday but should be able to move upward track position wise pretty quickly. After all, in seven laps last year, Allmendinger moved up from seventh to first and did win. He can […]

Kevin Harvick Running Out Of Time For Chase
Kevin Harvick is at a track he did not like all that much in Indianapolis. To be fair, quite a few drivers prepare the Indy race to be an oval like it was once before (Brickyard 400). That being said, Harvick is running out of time. He qualified 17th on Sunday for the race but […]

Aric Almirola and his Ford may have some problems at Indianapolis. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has a stronger car than last year but will it last on Sunday? That is a bit of an unknown. He begins 14th with several big names right behind. This could be a good thing for Almirola. He will race […]

Brad Keselowski Not Expecting Much Sunday At Indy
Brad Keselowski begins Sunday's race at The Brickyard from the 12th position. Now, the RFK Racing driver has not had a very good year and Keselowski has less than stellar road course history.

Daniel Suarez Starts 11th At The Brickyard
Daniel Suarez begins the Verizon 200 at The Brickyard from the inside of Row 6. The 11th place start was not that much of a surprise for the TrackHouse Racing driver. It is a team that will enjoy better speed and performance as the laps start ticking off. Suarez has been running in the top […]

Maverick McNealy Could Have Adventure At Rocket Mortgage
Maverick McNealy had a nice tournament going at the 3M Open last week. Then the final two holes came. The bogey for the American golfer was a harbinger of things to come. On 18, McNealy took a nine err quadruple bogey. Dropping five shots knocked McNealy out of the top 25. It was that much […]

Si Woo Kim has had quite an interesting season. The South Korean golfer bounced back from two missed cuts to finish tied for 15th at "The Open". Kim was around the top ten most of the tournament before a final round 73. The putter had been doing quite well for him all week but it […]

Ross Chastain Never Dull When It Comes To Pocono
Ross Chastain is never dull when it comes to Pocono or anywhere for that matter. The TrackHouse Racing driver is in a much better car than last year's Chip Ganassi car. Despite that, the driver was tenth after the second stage before disaster struck. He has not finished in the top-20 in any of his […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Not Recommended At Pocono
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. starts 19th on Sunday afternoon at Pocono. However, the track has not been kind to the JTG Daugherty Racing driver.

Alex Bowman Not Sure What To Expect At Pocono
Alex Bowman and his Hendrick Motorsports Chevy had a wild double last year where he won the first race by sort of being in the right place at the right time.
