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. In that race at Vegas, Michael McDowell started 17th but finished a disappointing 25th--nearly six positions worse than his […]

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. But that doesn't guarantee success this week. Briscoe and his #14 team have struggled to find speed at Kansas Speedway […]

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 […]

Josh Berry Has DFS Upside at Kansas, But Concerns Linger

Josh Berry qualified 29th for Sunday's AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway, but far the slowest car out of the Hendrick Motorsports camp. He came in a time of 31.036 seconds, nearly a full second slower than pole winner (and teammate) William Byron. However, we have seen Berry start further back in the field and be […]

Bubba Wallace Looking To Get Back Into Victory Lane At Kansas

It's not very often that you hear Bubba Wallace being talked about as a potential race winner outside of superspeedway tracks, but that is the case this weekend at Kansas Speedway. Bubba is the defending race winner here at Kansas, as he started 6th and led 58 laps en route to victory here last September. […]

Martin Truex Jr. Looking For Back-to-Back Wins After Snapping Winless Streak

Last weekend at Dover, it was Martin Truex, Jr. in victory lane, which snapped a 54-race winless streak for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver. That vaulted Truex into 4th-place in the points standings, just 40 points behind leader Ross Chastain. This weekend we're at Kansas Speedway and Truex should be able to contend for the […]

Kyle Larson Favored To Win Again At Dover Despite Starting 18th

Qualifying getting rained out didn't do Kyle Larson any favors this weekend, as he will now start from the 18th position for this weekend's Wurth 400 at Dover Motor Speedway. NASCAR used their metric calculation to set the starting lineup for this weekend's race. With that being said, Larson is still the favorite to win […]

No Driver Will Be Surprised If Chase Elliott Wins At Dover This Weekend

This weekend's Wurth 400 at Dover Motor Speedway will mark the third race for Chase Elliott since he returned from a broken leg injury earlier this month. In the previous two races, Chase has finished 12th at Martinsville and then 10th at Talladega this past weekend. Still, his competition wouldn't be surprised if he got […]

Ross Chastain Loves Racing At Dover, Looks To Take Over As Points Leader

In last year's race at Dover, Ross Chastain was a pleasant surprise. He started 7th in that race and ended up leading 86 laps en route to a 3rd-place finish. He also ended up finishing 4th in Stage 1 and 6th in Stage 2. That was a bit surprising for NASCAR fans, though, because up […]

Brad Keselowski, Fastest in Practice, Hopes Speed Translates To Race Success At Dover

Brad Keselowski was the fastest in practice during Saturday morning's session at Dover Motor Speedway, and it really wasn't even close. The #6 Ford ran a time of 22.690 seconds (158.660 mph), which was over a full tenth faster than 2nd-fastest Kyle Larson (22.809 seconds at 157.832 mph). Keselowski wasn't able to showcase that speed […]

Noah Gragson Slowest In Practice, Struggles Likely To Continue At Dover

Noah Gragson's first full-time season in the Cup Series hasn't been kind to him. Through the first ten races of the year, Gragson has most points than just one driver (Ty Dillon) of those who have competed in all ten races, and has been out-earned by Chase Elliott in points despite Elliott only starting four […]

Corey Lajoie With Surprising Practice Speed At Dover

The NASCAR Cup Series practice session was short and sweet and plagued with a few wrecks on Saturday morning, but that didn't stop Corey Lajoie from showing some surprising speed during it. In addition to posting the 13th-fastest single lap of the session at 22.958 seconds (156.808 mph), Lajoie also had the best 5-lap average […]

Points Leader Christopher Bell To Start 2nd At Dover

Weather is an issue at Dover Motor Speedway this weekend, as it has been (and is expected to continue to be) wet. NASCAR was forced to cancel Cup Series qualifying because of the rain, and that means the starting lineup is set by the qualifying metric that the series uses. That will put points leader […]

Qualifying Rained Out At Dover; Kyle Busch Awarded Pole Position

Rain at Dover Motor Speedway forced NASCAR to cancel Saturday's scheduled qualifying session. This will give the pole position for this weekend's Wurth 400 to last week's winner, Kyle Busch, who got his second victory of the season at Talladega last weekend. Track position is important at any race track with this NextGen car, but […]

Kevin Harvick Confident At Dover, Seeking 9th Straight Top 10

Back in March of this year, we saw Kevin Harvick earn his 20th straight top 10 finish at Phoenix Raceway by nearly winning the race there before ultimately finishing 5th, and now he's back at it again at Dover Motor Speedway this weekend. Although his streak isn't as impressive here, Harvick currently has eight straight […]

Ryan Blaney’s Winless Streak Not Likely To End At Dover This Weekend

It has now been 56 races since Ryan Blaney has visited victory lane in a NASCAR Cup Series car, as the Penske Racing driver hasn't won since August 2021 at Daytona International Speedway. This weekend Blaney will be looking to end that 56-race winless streak at Dover Motor Speedway, but it will be quite surprising […]

Austin Dillon Wrecks During Practice At Dover, Will Start Last In Race

Despite the poor weather forecast, NASCAR Cup Series teams got on track Saturday for their scheduled practice session, and it didn't take long for a few of the cars to find trouble on the track. The first one was Austin Dillon, who backed his #3 Chevrolet into the outside wall, damaging the back end and […]

Todd Gilliland Looking To Keep Career-Best Season Going At Dover

With his 10th-place finish at Talladega last weekend, Todd Gilliland notched his third top 10 finish of the young 2023 Cup Series season (and fifth top 15), already giving him a career-high in those statistical categories even with 26 races still remaining. It's safe to say the year is off to a good start for […]

Brennan Poole Returning To Cup Series For First Time Since 2020

It has been several years since NASCAR fans have seen the name Brennan Poole on the entry list, but that changes this weekend at Dover Motor Speedway, as Poole will be filling in for Rick Ware Racing in their #15 Ford for the Wurth 400. Poole actually raced here at Dover in this #15 car […]

Alex Bowman To Miss 3-4 Weeks With Injury

Alex Bowman is expected to miss the next three to four weeks due to an injury sustained in a crash during a recent sprint-car race. Josh Berry has been named as the replacement driver for this weekend's Wurth 400 at Dover. Berry recently ran five Cup Series races in the #9 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports […]

Ryan Preece A Sleeper Option This Weekend At Talladega

Ryan Preece has struggled (to say the least) in his return season to the NASCAR Cup Series. Through the first nine races of the year, Preece has yet to crack the top 10 finishing positions in any event, and his average result has been 24.6. He currently sits 27th in the points standings heading into […]

Chase Briscoe Will Start Career-Best 4th At Talladega

Track position doesn't guarantee success at Talladega Superspeedway, but it doesn't hurt your chances either. During qualifying on Saturday, Chase Briscoe posted a time of 53.085 seconds, which was good enough for the 4th-fastest time in the session. He will now start from 4th for Sunday's GEICO 500 NASCAR race. Briscoe has made four Cup […]

Denny Hamlin Knows What He Needs To Do To Win From Pole At Talladega

Denny Hamlin is no stranger to being on the pole at Talladega Superspeedway.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr Will Have To Adapt To New Pit Crew, Starts 33rd at Talladega

This year's Daytona 500 champion, Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., hasn't had a great start to his GEICO 500 Talladega weekend. First, it was announced that Stenhouse would be losing his normal pit crew, as Roush Fenway Keselowski Racing--who provides the pit crews for JTG Daugherty Racing, whom Stenhouse races for--decided to swap the pit crews that […]
