Corey Lajoie Looking To Continue Career-Best Season At Charlotte

"Steady improvement" could be the nickname for Corey Lajoie these days, as the driver of the #7 Chevrolet for Spire Motorsports has quietly gotten better each and every year since joining the NASCAR Cup Series full time in 2019. This season, Lajoie is on pace for his best season ever--and by a pretty good margin. […]

Bubba Wallace Hoping For First-Ever Top 10 Finish At Charlotte

Bubba Wallace has already notched three top 5 finishes through the first 13 races of the 2023 season, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him grab another one in this weekend's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The 1.5-mile tracks have been where Wallace and this #23 team have shown the most speed this […]

AJ Allmendinger A DFS Sleeper Pick For The Coca-Cola 600

Keep an eye on AJ Allmendinger at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend.

Seven-time NASCAR Cup Series Champion, Jimmie Johnson, will be making his third start of the 2023 season at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend for Legacy Motor Club.

Zane Smith will be making his fifth NASCAR Cup Series start of the season in this weekend's Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Martin Truex Jr. Should Be Strong In All-Star Race

Short, flat tracks are where Martin Truex Jr. has found plenty of success at during his storied NASCAR Cup Series career. He has also been strong at tracks with high tire wear. The good news for Truex is that North Wilkesboro, which is where Sunday night's All-Star Race will be held, is a combination of […]

Struggles Likely For Austin Cindric At North Wilkesboro

Thanks to his Daytona 500 victory in 2022, Austin Cindric is locked into the NASCAR Cup Series All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro on Sunday night, but that doesn't mean he's going to be competitive. Cindric has struggled at similar tracks this season--particularly Richmond and Martinsville--and is currently just struggling overall, with no finish better than […]

Brad Keselowski Won't Be Surprised With Hiccups In All-Star Race

It has been nearly 30 years since the NASCAR Cup Series has raced at North Wilkesboro Speedway, as 1996 was the last time they visited this race track.

Erik Jones Will Likely Struggle In All-Star Race At North Wilkesboro

Erik Jones has consistently struggled during the 2023 season, and the same should be expected in Sunday night's All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro.

NASCAR's wrecking ball, Ross Chastain, will have plenty of opportunities to beat and bang with his competition in Sunday night's All Star Race, as the Trackhouse Racing driver will start 18th in the 24 car field at North Wilkesboro. Following last week's controversy at Darlington Raceway, Rick Hendrick--owner of Hendrick Motorsports and a flagship figure […]

Chase Elliott Leads 26 Laps In All Star Heat Race, But Was He Really That Strong?

The short track package with the NextGen car has left a lot to be desired for NASCAR fans, and when it comes to the racing itself, track position is the most important factor when it comes to which cars are strongest. That was the case during Saturday night's Heat Races as well, especially for Chase […]

Ryan Blaney Fastest On Long Run In Practice For All Star Race

To be successful and challenge for the $1 million win in the All Star Race at North Wilkesboro on Sunday night, it's going to require your car to have long-run speed--and that's exactly what Ryan Blaney showed during practice this weekend.

While this definitely isn't the best-case scenario for LaJoie and his #7 Spire Motorsports team, it makes him a great Daily Fantasy Sports play on Sunday due […]

Keep An Eye On Todd Gilliland At Darlington On Sunday

Todd Gilliland's better-than-expected sophomore season is still going strong, as the Front Row Motorsports driver sits 23rd in points after 12 races with an average finish of 19.9.

Darlington May Be Rare Opportunity For Harrison Burton To Perform

Michael McDowell Looking To Improve At Kansas

This weekend, the NASCAR Cup Series is racing at Kansas Speedway. It will be the second non-superspeedway 1.5-mile track race of the season, with the first one being at Las Vegas a couple of months ago.

Chase Briscoe Knows That There Is Room For Progress At Kansas

Over the last six NASCAR Cup Series races, Chase Briscoe has been on a bit of a hot streak. He has an average finish of 11.8 over that span, which is 5th-best among all drivers.

Denny Hamlin Has Speed To Win Kansas Despite Pit Crew Concerns

It takes a lot more than a fast race car to win a NASCAR Cup Series race. Another important factor in challenging for a win is a driver's pit crew, and Denny Hamlin's pit crew has been struggling as of late. At Dover last weekend, the #11 crew lost a total of 11 positions on […]
