William Byron Finishes Third at Texas After Wrecking Ross Chastain

William Byron's strong 2024 season continues, as the Hendrick Motorsports driver walked away from the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 with a third-place finish--but it didn't come without some controversy.

Ross Chastain Gets Wrecked on Final Lap at Texas While Battling for the Lead

Usually it's Ross Chastain that is the one that is the aggressor late in races. Well, at the end of this weekend's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 at Texas Motor Speedway, Chastain got a bit of his own medicine, as an incident with William Byron relegated Ross to a 32nd-place finish after he was poised to […]

Kyle Larson Sees Dominant Day Slip Away at Texas Due To Loose Wheel

Kyle Larson had the dominant race car at Texas Motor Speedway this past weekend, but you wouldn't really know by looking at the finishing order. By the end of the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400, Larson was credited with a 21st-place finish and earned just 26 points. This is because Larson's right rear tire fell off […]

The last time he started on the front […]

Tyler Reddick Has Very High DFS Upside at Texas

Tyler Reddick should be one of the contenders in this weekend's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 at Texas Motor Speedway. He won the 2022 race here and led 36 in laps in last year's event but finished 25th after being burned by a caution in the middle of the pit cycle. At Las Vegas earlier this […]

Bubba Wallace a Top 10 Threat at Texas

Bubba Wallace qualified his No. 23 Toyota in 10th-place for this weekend's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 and he should be a top-10 contender when the checkered flag waves as well.

Daniel Suarez a Value DFS Pick at Texas

Daniel Suarez isn't one of those drivers that you constantly point to when the NASCAR Cup Series is at an intermediate race track, but the Trackhouse Racing driver seems to have something figured out at Texas Motor Speedway, so you should definitely consider him for this weekend's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400. Over the last three […]

Brad Keselowski Has Been Great at Texas Lately, But Concern This Weekend

Brad Keselowski has been one of the best drivers at Texas Motor Speedway as of late.

However, with […]

Erik Jones Has Huge DFS Upside at Texas This Weekend

Don't sleep on Erik Jones in this weekend's Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 at Texas Motor Speedway this weekend. The Legacy Motor Club driver qualified back in 27th for this weekend's race, and although the No. 43 team wasn't able to find a ton of speed in practice or qualifying, this track type is a good […]

Chase Briscoe Should Be Avoided in DFS at Texas

Chase Briscoe was one of the surprising names near the top of the speed chart during qualifying at Texas Motor Speedway on Saturday afternoon, as the Stewart-Haas Racing driver made it to the final round and will roll off the grid from fifth when the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400 goes green on Sunday afternoon. However, […]

Carson Hocevar Excited To Be Back at Texas

If you remember back to the Las Vegas race back in early March of this year, one of the pleasant surprises during that race was Carson Hocevar. He started 14th, had the 12th-best driver rating, and finished 15th when it was all said and done. The weekend, the NASCAR Cup Series is at Texas Motor […]

Michael McDowell Looking to Keep Good Finishes Going at Texas

One driver that has put up consistently good finishes at Texas Motor Speedway since the track was repaved in 2017 is Michael McDowell.

Corey Lajoie Has Sleeper Potential at Texas, But It’s Risky

Corey Lajoie is always a popular sleeper in Fantasy NASCAR, and this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway is no different.

Lajoie […]

Justin Haley Not As Good As His Record Shows at Texas

Over the last two races at Texas Motor Speedway, Justin Haley has walked away with third- and 13th-place finishes, but those are definitely outliers when it comes to the grand scheme of things. Attrition and good timing played a lot into those good finishes. He was also in decently-fast Kaulig Racing cars when he got […]

Harrison Burton a Low-Dollar DFS Sleeper at Texas

Not much has gone right for Harrison Burton and the No. 21 Wood Brothers Racing team to start out the 2024 season. Burton currently sits 34th in points with an average finish of 29.5--the worst in the series among all drivers who have started all eight races. But that doesn't mean you should avoid him […]
