NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Wise Power 400 - Monkey Knife Fight

Sunday afternoon features the Wise Power 400. The race takes place on a 2-mile speedway track (200 laps in all). Monkey Knife Fight has an extremely easy fantasy point system: 0.1 points for each lap led and then a set amount of points for their position (20 for 1st place, 19 for 2nd place, 18 […]

Chris Buescher May Not Have Much Upside At Fontana

Chris Buescher may have some problems at Fontana on Sunday. Buescher has only shown a positive place differential in one race at the track (his debut there). After that, it has been a series of decreases. The RFK racing driver has finished 16th at Fontana the last two starts. He qualified 11th and 14th though. […]

Christopher Bell Begins 19th At Fontana Sunday

Christopher Bell has one appearance at the top level at Fontana. It did not end well. After 80 laps, Bell's engine failed as he finished 38th. This was after a 22nd place start. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver starts in 19th and has shown an ability to race on any type of track. Even a […]

Ty Dillon Climbs Into Top-20 Start At Fontana

Ty Dillon probably did not expect to start 18th at Fontana but he will on Sunday. The Petty GMS Motorsports driver has had three consecutive appearances of 26th or worse at the Southern California track. The No. 42 Chevy was faster in qualifying than in practice but is it enough? That 31st in practice is […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Tries To Rebound At Fontana

After the late heartbreak for Ricky Stenhouse Jr. last week at the Daytona 500, he starts 17th on Sunday. The Fontana track has not been that kind to the JTG-Daugherty Racing driver. He has one top-five and a few close calls. Stenhouse Jr. only has led one lap in his eight appearances. This may not […]

Austin Dillon Has Some DFS Upside At Fontana

Austin Dillon has enjoyed some pretty solid results at Fontana. The Wise Power 400 could go that way again on Sunday. Dillon has four top-11 finishes in his seven appearances on the Southern California track. The Richard Childress Racing driver has never led a single lap, however. That is something to keep in mind but […]

Daniel Suarez Could Be A Wild Card At Fontana

Daniel Suarez and Trackhouse Racing had an adventurous Daytona 500 to say the least. He also has a bit of a mixed record when it comes to Fontana. There are two outside top-20 appearances to go along with a 7th and 13th. He starts 15th on Sunday for the Wise Power 400. The longer runs […]

Alex Bowman Looks For Success Again At Fontana

Alex Bowman and the No. 48 car found a way two years ago to not only win the 400-mile race at Fontana, but he led 220 of those miles (110 laps). It was a dominant performance that put the spotlight on Bowman. Considering that his other four appearances on the track were nowhere near the […]

Kyle Larson Right At Home At Fontana

Kyle Larson qualifying at only 13th is not terrible by itself. Larson, before his days at Hendrick Motorsports Racing, won three of his five races on two-mile tracks. Fontana is a two-mile D-oval track that suits Larson's driving skills well. He won here in 2017 and finished second in 2018. Before two riddled with problems […]

Martin Truex Jr. Loves High-Wear Tracks Like Fontana

Martin Truex Jr. starts 12th on Sunday from the Auto Club Speedway at Fontana. The No. 19 car has won this race before in 2018. Truex Jr. is in a good position once again. 2019 and 2020 saw him start from the back of the field which made it hard for him to make up […]

Tyler Reddick Leads Practice Session, Begins 11th Sunday

Tyler Reddick was the fastest in Practice Session B on Saturday but could not make it to the final round of qualifying. As a result, he starts 11th for the Wise Power 400. Reddick finished 11th in his only race on the track in 2020 at the top level. What could he do on the […]

Chase Elliott Rounds Out Top 10 At Fontana

Chase Elliott finished just behind fellow Hendricks driver William Byron Jr. on Saturday. That resulted in qualifying tenth for the Wise Power 400. Elliott and his No. 9 car have fared pretty well at Fontana. He had a sixth in his debut at the Cup level on the track in 2016. In 2020, he finished […]

William Byron Jr. Leads Hendricks Cars On Sunday

It is a bit strange seeing the Hendricks cars this far back. William Byron Jr. starts ninth at Fontana on Sunday for the Wise Power 400. Byron did inch out teammate, Chase Elliott for the position. Byron looked good in practice as he battled close to the top-five before winding up sixth in that practice […]

Brad Keselowski Begins Eighth At Wise Power 400

Brad Keselowski may be a marked man after last week's Daytona 500, where there were several incidents. However, this week he qualified in the eighth position for the Wise Power 400. The RFK Racing driver had back-to-back top-10 results in 2019 and 2020 on this two-mile oval. He won the race in 2015 and has […]

Joey Logano Brushes Wall, Qualifies Seventh At Fontana

Joey Logano had an interesting time on Saturday as he brushed the wall a little but still wound up seventh in qualifying. Starting inside Row 4 will not be so bad for the Ford No. 22. This is not like 2020 where, he finished 12th. Before that, Logano had five straight top-five results including a […]

Ryan Blaney Starts Sixth At Fontana On Sunday

Ryan Blaney will start from the sixth position at the Wise Power 400 on Sunday. The Team Penske Ford almost pulled off a win at Daytona last week and could have some success again this weekend in Southern California. Blaney had one misleading result but three top-10 finishes before that. In 2020, the No. 12 […]

Daniel Hemric Qualifies Fifth For Wise Power 400

Daniel Hemric was the second Chevy to qualify in the top-five for the Wise Power 400 on Sunday. The Fontana course showed Hemric to be among the better drivers in practice just outside the top-ten (13th). The No. 16 car has speed but had even more come the qualifying session. He wound up just 0.359 […]

Denny Hamlin Thriving At Fontana Ahead Of Sunday's Race

Denny Hamlin started the weekend well at practice. He topped all drivers and then consolidated that result by qualifying fourth for Sunday's Wise Power 400. Hamlin finished 0.303 seconds behind Austin Cindric for the pole. The No. 11 car has looked very fast much like his teammate, Kyle Busch. Now, Hamlin has never won this […]

Kyle Busch A Favorite For The Wise Power 400

Kyle Busch qualified third for Sunday afternoon's race at Fontana just 0.211 seconds behind Austin Cindric. The younger Busch has excelled on the two-mile track in past years. He has seven top-three results in his last nine races. The high-wear course favors the Joe Gibbs Racing driver. Even two years ago, Busch battled his way […]

Erik Jones Qualifies In Second At Fontana

Erik Jones nearly won the pole for the Wise Power 400 on Sunday. He came up just 0.116 seconds short of the pole winner, Austin Cindric. Jones has a little bit of success at the Southern California track. He does have a top-ten result in his last two races on the two-mile d-shaped oval. While […]

Austin Cindric Takes Pole For Wise Power 400

Austin Cindric backed up his Daytona 500 win by taking the pole position for Sunday afternoon's race at Fontana. The 200-lap race could unfold much differently, but for Cindric to win the pole is significant. He is the only Ford in the top-five cars. That is somewhat surprising. Cindric held off Erik Jones by just […]

Greyson Sigg Has Decent DFS Value At Honda Classic

The only question with Greyson Sigg seems to be whether he can put four contending rounds together. He can get to two or three usually but that fourth seems elusive. That was the case at Pebble Beach where the third round started to go sideways. Sigg held on for a 70 but then the final […]

Aaron Wise's Rough 2022 Could Continue At Honda Classic

Aaron Wise has had a tough time of it the past three tournaments. Even at The Genesis Invitational, the American shot all four rounds in the 70's with a 71-73 weekend. That put him outside the top 60 (tied for 67th). After missing two cuts, at least Wise did see the final two rounds. That […]

Chris Kirk May Have Value In Florida This Week

Chris Kirk bounced back solidly at the WM Phoenix Open with a top-15 result. He heads into the Honda Classic in Florida with a renewed sense of confidence. There are some red flags. In 2022, he has two cuts sandwiched in the middle of two solid finishes. The sample size is small but Kirk's all […]

Charles Howell III A Question Mark At Honda Classic

Maybe there are too many expectations on Charles Howell III. He missed the cut at the WM Phoenix Open as that opening round 75 did him no favors. Howell III did not play poorly at the American Express or the Sony Open. At the American Express, not enough putts dropped for him on the back […]

Cameron Tringale's Roller Coaster Season To Continue?

Which Cameron Tringale are we going to get at the Honda Classic this weekend? Will we see his top-20 form or will he miss the cut entirely? It's a great question without a clear answer. Since the Zozo Championship, he has alternated top-13 results with missing the cut. He's finished second, seventh, third and 13th, […]

Taylor Pendrith Heading To Honda Classic Soul Searching

Taylor Pendrith, like some other golfers, has struggled a good deal in 2022. The Canadian golfer hits the ball a long way, but the accuracy on his drives is less than desirable. He ranks 169th on tour so far with  a 54.51% success rate hitting the fairway. Even his overall strokes gained is at minus-0.146. […]

Patrick Reed Slumping Heading Into Honda Classic

Patrick Reed has not had the greatest time of it this year. That was punctuated by missing the cut at the Genesis last week behind an opening round 77. It feels like Reed has gotten progressively worse over the first four tournaments of 2022. His shot-making has gone by the wayside, his drives are more […]

Kyle Busch Winds Up Sixth In Wild Ride At Daytona

Kyle Busch never truly factored in at the end of the race because he fell a bit too far back. The No. 18 car led 28 laps earlier in the race. The younger Busch in the final 12 laps did draw closer and closer. However, he still finished behind a slew of Fords. The Joe […]

Aric Almirola Ends Up Fifth At Daytona

Aric Almirola rolled from the back of the field to the front at Daytona on Sunday. He was in a great position to put his Ford into victory lane after the lap 195 wreck. Almirola was fifth in the restart for the final six laps which turned into a two lap shootout. In his last […]
