Francesco Molinari has endured a tough time on the PGA Tour of late missing cuts in three straight tournaments.

Matthew Wolff has struggled mightily in 2022. The American golfer has missed four cuts and has three finishes outside the top 60. Wolff managed a tied for 25th last week at the Wells Fargo.

Several cars will begin unexpectedly from the rear including Kevin Harvick and his Stewart-Haas Racing car.

That being said, few […]

Unlike a couple others with tire issues, Chase Elliott wrecked his car pretty good on Saturday. As a result, he begins the Goodyear 400 from the back of the pack. The No. 9 Chevy figures to move up quickly even in his backup car. Elliott has not had much success at Darlington as a whole. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRicky Stenhouse Jr. Place Differential Possibility At Darlington
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. contending is off the table. However, the fact that he starts off 26th or outside the top-25 again bodes well. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver has place differentials of +14, +10, +8, and +12 over his last four appearances. His No. 47 Chevy has even been in the top-ten late in a […]

Chris Wassel 3 years agoBrad Keselowski Question Mark At Darlington
Brad Keselowski and his RFK Racing car could figure into Darlington prominently on Sunday. Though he starts at 23rd, the No. 6 has two top-five results and three top-tens in his last six starts with top-five late-race speed intervals. While his move from Team Penske has not been kind, Darlington has been. He won in […]

Chris Wassel 3 years agoAustin Dillon Right About Where Expected At Darlington
Austin Dillon and his No. 3 Chevy not surprisingly has a way of thriving at Darlington. There was another No. 3 who loved the "track too tough to tame" (Dale Earnhardt Sr.). Dillon starts 14th on Sunday and has a 50-50 chance of finishing in the top-ten. The Richard Childress Racing driver even has a […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoChase Briscoe In Better Position At Darlington
Chase Briscoe and his Stewart-Haas Racing car are in a better position than last year where he started in the 20's and worked his way up the field. He had a +11 and +5 place differential and was in the top-ten late in both races before falling back a lap. Starting 13th on Sunday may […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAric Almirola Starts 12th On Sunday At Darlington
Aric Almirola has an interesting history of late at Darlington. He has two top-ten results in his last six starts. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver figured to be the second best SHR driver in qualifying on Saturday. However, when Kevin Harvick blew a tire, things changed. The No. 10 car figures to be up closer to […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoErik Jones A Staple Of Sorts At Darlington
Erik Jones has a history at Darlington and it is mostly a good one. Though he qualified 11th on Saturday, he probably had one of the ten fastest cars, period. Jones did win the Fall race at Darlington in 2019 while leading 79 laps. He also had two top-five results (5th and 4th in 2020). […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoTyler Reddick At It Again With Top Ten Start At Darlington
Tyler Reddick and his Richard Childress Racing car may not be the steadiest car out there. However, Reddick is more than capable of outperforming the limitations of his No. 8 Chevy.

William Byron is one of those Hendrick Motorsports Racing drivers that has not had the best of luck at Darlington.

Chris Wassel 3 years agoRyan Blaney Tries To Erase Issues At Darlington
Ryan Blaney and the Darlington track have not gotten along. There have been speed drops and mechanical issues. Blaney did manage to qualify seventh for Sunday's race, however. Blaney did not have a jump that some drivers had between his five and ten-lap interval. It was strange and could just be an outlier. However, what […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKurt Busch Starts Sixth At Darlington On Sunday
Kurt Busch found some late speed on his qualifying lap to secure the sixth position in qualifying for Sunday afternoon's race. The 23XI Racing driver finished just behind his younger brother, Kyle.

Martin Truex Jr. is accustomed to being a favorite at Darlington. This week, Kyle Larson gets the numbers for consistency but typically, Truex Jr. has been right there as well.

Chris Wassel 3 years agoKyle Larson And His Consistency Punctuated At Darlington
Naturally, Kyle Larson keeps finishing in the top-three including the last three appearances at Darlington. However, despite leading 204 out of 660 laps last season, the No. 5 car still did not win either race on the track "too tough to tame". Larson has found more ways to almost win on this course than most […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoJoey Logano Wins Pole At Darlington
Joey Logano the last few seasons has performed pretty well at Darlington for the most part. He has three top-ten results in his last six races. The fact that he won the pole for Sunday's race was mildly surprising. The Team Penske driver barely beat out Kyle Larson in the final round of qualifying. The […]

Chris Wassel 3 years agoWilliam Byron Learns Lesson From Wall At Dover
William Byron hit the wall hard on Saturday at qualifying. So, to the backup car he went and a 33rd-place start. All is not lost. That backup car is likely as good or even better than the regular No. 24 Chevy. Expect Byron to get a good head of steam up the field as the […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoErik Jones A DFS Long Shot At Dover
Erik Jones had a poor qualifying run by his standards at Dover on Saturday and will start 25th on Sunday. However, do not be too alarmed.

Chris Wassel 3 years agoJoey Logano Could Offer DFS Benefit On Sunday
Joey Logano starts outside the top twenty on Sunday at Dover and could move up the field enough to make an impact DFS-wise. The Team Penske Ford had some later speed as the laps ticked down.
