Chris Buescher a Core DFS Play at Sonoma

Chris Buescher's No. 17 Ford hasn't shown the most speed at Sonoma this weekend, but he should still be high on your radar when building DraftKings lineups for the Toyota / Save Mart 350. Buescher qualified back in 26th for this weekend's race, giving him tremendous Place Differential upside at a very modest $8,600 price […]

Joey Logano Gets Much-Needed Top-Five Finish At Gateway

Before the race at World Wide Technology Raceway (Gateway) on Sunday, Joey Logano said the team couldn't afford any more mulligans if they're going to make the Playoffs this season. Luckily for the No. 22 team, they had a great race in St. Louis, as Logano walked away with a top-five finish and scored 39 […]

Austin Cindric Shakes Up Playoff Picture With Win At Gateway

In a dramatic last-lap pass for the win (thanks to his teammate and race leader, Ryan Blaney, running out of fuel), Austin Cindric is now locked into the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs, becoming the ninth different driver to win this season with his surprise victory at Gateway on Sunday. It is the second win […]

Ryan Blaney Falls Two Laps Short Of Win At Gateway

If Sunday's Enjoy Illinois 300 was just two laps shorter, Ryan Blaney would have been the victor. Unfortunately, his No. 12 Ford ran out of gas as he was coming to take the white flag, allowing his Team Penske teammate, Austin Cindric, to steal the win. "It just sucks we don't end up with a […]

Why Austin Cindric's Win at Gateway Was Actually Bad for Team Penske

The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season has certainly had plenty of dramatic finishes to races, and this past weekend's Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway (Gateway) was no exception. While coming to take the white flag as the leader on Sunday, the defending Cup Series Champion and Team Penske driver, Ryan Blaney, looked to […]

Denny Hamlin the Favorite to Win at Gateway

In what shouldn't be a surprise to many people, Denny Hamlin is the favorite to win the Enjoy Illinois 300 at Gateway this weekend. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has been elite on the shorter tracks this season, picking up wins at Bristol, Richmond, and Dover, while finishing second at North Wilkesboro and leading the […]

Joey Logano a Core DFS Play at Gateway

Joey Logano should be one of the best value picks on the NASCAR DFS slate this weekend. The Team Penske driver had one of, if not the best cars in practice on Saturday morning but then went out and qualified 12th later that day. That means Logano has solid Place Differential potential while also having […]

Kyle Larson Surprisingly Slow at Gateway

Coming into the Enjoy Illinois 300 race weekend, many analysts thought that Kyle Larson would have one of the cars to beat, but that doesn't really seem to be the case. The No. 5 Chevrolet was just 24th-fastest on the speed chart during practice on Saturday morning and Larson ended up qualifying 13th for this […]

Tyler Reddick Should Contend at Gateway

Don't be surprised if Tyler Reddick is a factor for the win in this weekend's Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway (otherwise known as Gateway). Reddick had one of the best cars at Phoenix earlier this season, which is a similar track type to Gateway. With that being said, Reddick hasn't had great […]

Martin Truex Jr Must Overcome Poor Qualifying Effort at Gateway

Martin Truex Jr is one of the top drivers when it comes to short, flat tracks, but he's going to have some work to do this weekend at Gateway if he's going to end up at or near the front when the checkered flag waves. Truex qualified back in 19th for this weekend's Enjoy Illinois […]

Bubba Wallace Has Potential at Gateway Despite Poor Track Record

When you look at Bubba Wallace's track record at Gateway, there's not much to like. He finished 30th here last season, which followed up a 26th-place effort in the first Cup Series race here back in 2022. However, Bubba hasn't been as bad as the numbers say. In last year's race, the No. 23 Toyota […]

Michael McDowell Wins Pole at Gateway; Now a Pivotal Decision in DFS

Michael McDowell is on the pole for the Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway (otherwise known as Gateway) this weekend. Front Row Motorsports has definitely improved its qualifying efforts this season, as McDowell now has three poles on the year after previously going 0-for-465 since joining the NASCAR Cup Series. Now DFS players […]

Justin Haley a Deep Sleeper Pick at Gateway

Don't sleep on Justin Haley at Gateway this weekend. The Rick Ware Racing driver is on a hot streak of sorts as of late, with finishes of 22nd, ninth, 18th, and 23rd over the last four Cup Series races. That is a major improvement for this Rick Ware Racing team that has been a constant […]

Todd Gilliland Has Huge Place Differential Upside at Gateway

Another race, another opportunity for Todd Gilliland to put up a massive Place Differential total on DFS sites. The Front Row Motorsports driver qualified 35th out of 36 cars for this weekend's Enjoy Illinois 300, which was a bit surprising considering his teammate, Michael McDowell, was the fastest in qualifying and will start from the […]

Austin Cindric Qualifies Second at Gateway, Now a Risky DFS Pick

World Wide Technology Raceway (otherwise known as Gateway) is one track where Austin Cindric has actually kind of excelled at in the Cup Series. In his two starts here, Cindric has finished 11th and 13th, which easily puts Gateway near the top in terms of average finish at a particular track for the Team Penske […]
