Erik Jones Bounces Back At Pocono Raceway

Starting 38th proved to be nothing more than a minor inconvenience for Joe Gibbs Racing's Erik Jones, who navigated through traffic to reach sixth place by the midway point of the Pocono 350. Jones wasn't done there, though, as he picked up three more positions on his way to a third-place finish. After a 38th-place […...

After starting 10th, Hendrick Motorsports' Alex Bowman managed to finish in the top 10 in each of the first two stages, but he ultimately fell to a finish of 27th.

Kevin Harvick Looks To Sweep Cup Series Doubleheader

It took 39 attempts, but Kevin Harvick has finally taken the checkered flag at Pocono Raceway.

Pocono Raceway A Mixed Bag For Joey Logano

Since his win at Pocono Raceway in 2012, Joey Logano has failed to find much success at the home of this week's Organic 350. Logano hasn't led a lap at Pocono Raceway since 2016 and has finished outside the top 20 more frequently than he has finished inside the top 10 over the same period […...

Pocono Raceway Has Been Difficult For Alex Bowman

Alex Bowman will start the Organics 325 at Pocono Raceway in 10th, but his history at Pocono Raceway should have fantasy players hesitant to put him in their lineups.

Erik Jones Provides Significant Upside At Pocono

Although he has only made six starts at Pocono Raceway, Erik Jones has shown a prowess for racing at NASCAR's two-and-a-half-mile triangle.

After a disappointing 32nd-place finish at Talladega Superspeedway last week, Kyle Busch has a golden opportunity to bounce back this week with the Cup Series return to Pocono Raceway.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Puts On A Show

Starting 20th, JTG Daugherty Racing's Ricky Stenhouse Jr. rewarded fantasy players who didn't shy away from his boom-or-bust style of racing in Monday's GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway. Stenhouse and race-winner Ryan Blaney were separated by a mere .007 seconds in a chaotic finish that had both cars bouncing off of each other on their […...

Record-Tying Day For Aric Almirola

After spending most of the race running in the middle of the pack, Stewart-Haas Racing's Aric Almirola made a late-race charge for the lead and may have won had it not been for the bumper of Ricky Stenhouse Jr., which sent him across the finish line sideways in third place at Talladega. Although unconventional, it […...

Jimmie Johnson An Expensive Gamble For The Geico 500

Talladega has not been kind to Jimmie Johnson in quite some time. The No. 48 team has managed to finish in the top 10 just three times in their last 10 races at the superspeedway. The poor performances were not strictly the result of bad luck either, as he has only failed to finish the […...

Denny Hamlin A Wildcard At Talladega

Denny Hamlin has had a roller coaster of a season in 2020, winning three races while also recording consecutive top-10s just once. Unfortunately, Hamlin's record at Talladega Superspeedway, home of this week's Geico 500, is similarly volatile. In his last four trips to Talladega, Hamlin has finished in the top five twice and outside the […...

Points Leader Kevin Harvick A Shaky Investment

Stewart-Haas Racing's Kevin Harvick is having another championship-caliber year, but that doesn't mean fantasy players should pay for past performance this week at Talladega.

DFS Players Should Have Ryan Newman On Their Radar

Lost in the horrific crash that Ryan Newman suffered at the end of the Daytona 500 was a seventh-place finish that extended a quiet streak of dominance for the Cup Series veteran at NASCAR's longest tracks. In the last 10 Cup Series races at superspeedways, Newman has managed a top-10 finish eight times. Perhaps just […...

Kyle Busch Difficult To Trust At Talladega

It is hard to count Kyle Busch out, as the reigning Cup champion is capable of dominant wins at nearly every track. However, Talladega may be the rare exception to that fact.

Joey Logano Chases Win No. 3 At Talladega

Nobody has been as dominant over the last four races at Talladega as Team Penske's Joey Logano.

Chase Elliott Finishes Second At Homestead

Hendrick Motorsports' Chase Elliott recorded 27 laps led on his way to a second consecutive top-five finish on Sunday at Homestead.

Kevin Harvick Looks To Rebound At Homestead

Stewart-Haas Racing's Kevin Harvick has been a volatile fantasy commodity lately, posting a win along with three finishes outside of the top 10 in the last four weeks.

Clint Bowyer Offers Talent At A Discount

Clint Bowyer and the No. 14 team will start on the outside of Row 2 for the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 at Martinsville.
