Martin Truex Jr. Consistency Issues Possible At Dover
One never thought to put consistency issues with a Martin Truex Jr. car at Dover but here we are. The Next-Gen has been a love-hate relationship for the No. 18 Joe Gibbs Racing driver. Truex Jr. carries a ton of pedigree here with a recent win, four top-five, and four top-ten results. However, he starts […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKurt Busch Not Expecting Much At Dover
Kurt Busch did not have the best of qualifying and practice on Saturday at Dover. He does start 16th and does have one top-ten result in his last five races. Other than that, the No. 45 car has not been much of a factor more toward the front of these races. The fact that his […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRicky Stenhouse Jr Not Recommended At Dover
It has been a rough season for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and JTG Daugherty Racing. Not much is likely to change this week at Dover for the No. 47 Chevy. Stenhouse has finished outside the top-20 since that result at Fontana. It does not matter how fast his car has been. There always has been some […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoJustin Haley May Rise A Bit On Sunday
Justin Haley looked like he might factor into things at Dover but will start Sunday only in 14th position. However, he was one of those Chevy drivers that was carrying speed and acceleration well. Again, it boils down to getting that car up the field. Pit strategy and positioning will be vital along with some […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoIs Ryan Preece A Long Shot At Dover?
Ryan Preece starts 13th on Sunday and the Rick Ware Racing Ford did show unexpected quickness around the Dover track. He was trimming time off most of the contenders except for a few bobbles that cost him. His intervals were more level than most Ford cars as well. When a car only drops off that […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAustin Cindric Could Learn A Lot At Dover
Austin Cindric could learn a lot of good information at Dover this weekend. He starts 12th on Sunday and one of the best Fords in Kevin Harvick is right in front of him. Cindric might look for a few pointers on the track as Harvick is one of the most consistent drivers at the Monster […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKevin Harvick Creates Some Intrigue At Dover
Few drivers can create some chaos at Dover quite like Kevin Harvick. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver may start 11th but he is almost a virtual lock for the top-ten. Besides winning one race here in his last five, Harvick is the only active driver who has finished every one of the last three years in […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKyle Busch Ends Up Starting In The Top Ten At Dover
Kyle Busch sneaked into the top ten during qualifying on Saturday. His outside Row 5 start is not bad but not the most optimal given track history. However, when has that ever rattled the younger Busch? Exactly. He has not won here in his last five races but does have at top-five result and three […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoBubba Wallace Had A Good Week Leading Up To Sunday
Bubba Wallace may not be on the radar and this could prove to be nothing. However, the No. 23 car from 23XI Racing was fast and accelerated well on the Dover track. He qualified ninth but a turn here or there could have easily placed him into the top five. Wallace did not seem to […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoDaniel Suarez Starts Eighth At Dover On Sunday
Daniel Suarez starts from the outside of Row 4 on Sunday at Dover. The "Monster Mile" has a way of humbling drivers and Suarez has already had enough bad luck this season. His car had been running very well the last two weeks (64 and 28 laps led) but two circumstances hindered his races. At […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRoss Chastain and TrackHouse A Wildcard On Sunday
Ross Chastain starts just behind the three Hendricks Motorsports cars in seventh on Sunday. The TrackHouse Racing car was fast yet again in qualifying. Practice may be a bit more unknown but it will come down how his No. 1 car fares as the laps tick down. Longer runs tend to happen at Dover and […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAlex Bowman Could Win Dover Again On Sunday?
Alex Bowman was a surprise winner last year at Dover but a deeper look suggests not so much. He was able to stay out front due to a great pit stop with 97 laps to go. Bowman never looked back as he guided the No. 48 Hendricks Motorsports car to victory. This was not a […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoCan Ryan Blaney Win At Dover?
Ryan Blaney will start from the fifth position on Sunday afternoon. Blaney had a good car in practice and qualifying for Team Penske. Penske cars have not been the greatest on this track lately but consistently in the top ten at least. That is when it came to Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski. It does […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoChase Elliott May Be The Fastest At Dover
Chase Elliott only had the fourth quickest lap in qualifying on Saturday but his speed intervals indicated something was unexpected. His car, in practice, got faster as the laps ticked down. In his lap runs, the No. 9 car was a few tenths faster than his shorter jaunts. So, if he is gaining speed there, […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKyle Larson Easily Favored At Dover
It is easy to see what Kyle Larson is favored at Dover. The "Monster Mile" was dominated by Hendrick Motorsports last Spring. That 1-2-3-4 sweep may prove not to be a fluke either this year. All four cars excelled here in testing and Larson qualified third on Saturday. Furthermore, the No. 5 car has led […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoDenny Hamlin Cannot Be Counted Out At Dover
Denny Hamlin did throw a jolt into the qualifying plans of some other racers with the second-best time on Saturday. At just over 22.5 seconds, the No. 11 car showed a little more speed than expected in the Next-Gen car. How does that translate into Sunday? There was something that concerned us with the Toyota. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoChris Buescher Starts From The Pole At Dover
Chris Buescher turned in the fastest qualifying lap on Saturday at 22.479 seconds. It will be intriguing to see what happens during the Drydene 400 on Sunday from Dover. The "Monster Mile" is usually dominated by one of the cars in the front five to ten or so. So, can the RFK Racing driver turn […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoGreyson Sigg Could Have Some Value At Mexican Open
Greyson Sigg has been OK lately on the PGA Tour. He has made eight of the last 10 cuts. However, the American golfer missed out at the Zurich Open. Sigg could not make enough birdies. It appears that it may be a bit more difficult at times to make birdies at the Mexican Open. The […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoCarlos Ortiz Not Recommended At Mexico Open
The Mexican golfer comes home to a familiar golf course, and considering all his struggles, it is hard to expect much from Carlos Ortiz this week. Too many errant shots and a ranking of 206 on strokes gained around the green are obstacles that will be tough to overcome. He can drain putts (4.1 per […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoScott Stallings A Coin Flip At Vidanta
Scott Stallings is a bit of an up-and-down player. However, when he is on, the American golfer can contend in tournaments. He is a top-35 putter, can drive the ball 300 yards, and is pretty good around the green (0.12 strokes gained). The problem with Stallings is his accuracy. It has been that way forever. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAaron Rai One To Watch At Mexico Open
The English golfer has looked better over the past two tournaments. Though he cannot drive the ball the furthest (just 292.5 yards), Aaron Rai has been effective everywhere else when it comes to the first three rounds of a tournament. Last week, Rai was this close to winning the Zurich Open until a 72 derailed […]

Chris Wassel 3 years agoChase Elliott At Least Has DFS Potential At Talladega
Chase Elliott qualified 28th on Saturday at Talladega just behind fellow Hendrick Motorsports teammate Alex Bowman. It was an odd result but not totally uncommon. Elliott is another one of those few drivers that has three top-ten finishes in his last six events at Talladega. The 2.66-mile track with the unique tri-oval is a favorite […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKevin Harvick Starts 24th On Sunday At Talladega
Kevin Harvick tends to perform well enough at Talladega. He does have three top-ten results over his last six races. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver tends to make far better decisions on the track. He survives most carnage yet has just one top-five finish over the past three seasons. That was fourth in the Spring event. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRyan Blaney Starts Outside Row 11 on Sunday
Ryan Blaney figures to be in the heart of contention by late in Stage 1 or earlier on Sunday at Talladega. Blaney has shown the mettle to charge up the field before on the 2.66-mile course. He has three top-ten results and two wins in the last six appearances. Blaney was lightning fast even last […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRoss Chastain Uncertain On Talladega Track
Ross Chastain starts closer to the middle of the pack on Sunday at Talladega. That may suit him as most of the top-ten figures to be out of contention by the final stage anyway. The TrackHouse Racing driver has had quite a few excellent results including that win at COTA. He has several top-five results. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoErik Jones Has Coin Flip Chance Of Good Result Sunday
Erik Jones is one of those drivers that loves the long tracks with the crazy banking. Talladega is one of the most notorious for that. The restrictor plate race usually produces some odder results. Jones starts 16th on Sunday and the Petty GMS Motorsports car figures to be closer to the front at some point. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoBrad Keselowski Big Wild Card Heading Into Talladega
Brad Keselowski and his Ford car from RFK Racing has a little bit of an advantage for Sunday's race at Talladega. Keselowski has won in the previous six races and has another top-five finish as well. No one is suggesting history repeats itself. However, few would be surprised if Keselowski wormed his way closer to […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAustin Dillon Could Be Sneaky Option At Talladega
Austin Dillon begins Sunday's Geico 500 from the 14th position. The Dillon Family has had a little good luck on this track. Ty has a top-five and another top-ten while Austin has two top-ten results. The Richard Childress Racing driver does carry good speed through the highest banking sectors. That Next-Gen car might help alleviate […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoJoey Logano Led The Ford Brigade On Saturday
Joey Logano will begin 13th on Sunday from Talladega. Logano has experienced a little of everything on the 2.66-mile track. From crashes to checkered flags, the No. 22 car has seen it all. Logano has a couple of top-five results sprinkled in with some crashes like last Spring where the Team Penske driver ended up […]
