Chris Buescher Has Sneaky Upside This Weekend
Chris Buescher has never finished better than ninth at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 16 career Cup Series starts, but that doesn't mean that there isn't upside for the Roush-Fenway Keselowski Racing driver in the Pennzoil 400 this weekend.

AJ Allmendinger A Sleeper At Las Vegas
Although he's more known for his road course prowess, don't overlook AJ Allmendinger in the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend.

Todd Gilliland May Struggle At Las Vegas
Todd Gilliland is always one of the most popular lower-tier drivers, but does he have the upside at Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend to roll the dice with the No. 34 Ford again?

William Byron On Pole At Phoenix, Will Be Tough To Beat
William Byron will definitely be a contender in the Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway this weekend. The Hendrick Motorsports driver looked stout in practice on Saturday, ranking second-fastest in 30-lap average, and then Byron went out and followed that up by winning the pole in qualifying later that afternoon.

Despite Greatness At Phoenix, Ryan Blaney Has Never Won In The Desert
If we were to tell you that there was a driver who hasn't finished worse than fifth in the last seven races at Phoenix Raceway, a normal reaction would be, "well he has definitely won at least one or two of those, right?" Unfortunately for Ryan Blaney, that answer is no. Some how, some way, […]

Kyle Larson Should Be Strong At Phoenix Despite Qualifying 17th
Don't let Kyle Larson's starting spot for this weekend's Shriners Children's 500 fool you. The No. 5 Chevrolet is still really strong this weekend. Larson hit the apron wrong during his qualifying lap on Saturday, and that is why he will start from back in 17th place when the green flag waves in Phoenix. If […]

Chris Buescher A DFS Pivot Option At Phoenix
Don't forget about Chris Buescher ($8,400) when building your DraftKings lineups for this weekend's Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway.

Ross Chastain Qualifies 24th At Phoenix But Should Improve On Race Day
Ross Chastain was a bit down on the speed chart in qualifying on Saturday for this weekend's Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway, as the No. 1 Chevrolet will roll off the grid from 24th when the race goes green on Sunday. However, don't expect Chastain to ride around mid-pack all day. In terms of […]

Alex Bowman A Strong Place-Differential Play At Phoenix
Alex Bowman will roll off the starting grid from 32nd place for Sunday's Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway, but he should place much better than that when it's all said and done. Bowman, like his teammate Kyle Larson, clipped the apron in Turn 1 during his qualifying lap and ruined his time. And while […]

Ryan Preece Could Be A Dark Horse At Phoenix
Don't sleep on Ryan Preece in this weekend's Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway. The short, flat tracks are where Preece excels at the most, and Roush-Fenway Keselowski Racing has found some speed here at Phoenix over the last couple of races.

There's Upside For Todd Gilliland At Phoenix
Todd Gilliland is always a popular low-tier driver in the fantasy and betting world, and with him coming off of a top-10 finish at COTA last weekend, you may be looking to dip back into the Gilly Gang well again this weekend. That's probably not a bad idea. Gilliland has made six career Cup Series […]

AJ Allmendinger Qualifies 16th At Phoenix But Has Rough History At Track
Is AJ Allmendinger an option in DFS this weekend? The Kaulig Racing driver is pretty cheap on DraftKings ($6,100) for Sunday's Shriners Children's 500, but he qualified up in 16th for this weekend's race, so is he worth the risk? Allmendinger has had decent runs at Phoenix Raceway in the past, but has struggled at […]
