Alex Bowman Expects Wild Ride At Richmond On Sunday
There are two schools of thought with Alex Bowman. He is either going to ride a Chevy wave to the front or is going to struggle all day in the middle of the pack. Bowman did win last year in a race that was expected to be dominated by Martin Truex Jr. or even Kyle […]

Austin Dillon fell to 25th in qualifying at Richmond on Saturday. That was a bit of a surprise. However, the No. 3 Chevy could have better luck during the race on Sunday. Dillon has found his way into the top-ten in three of the last five races on the 3/4 mile course. He has managed […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKyle Larson Looking For Something Positive At Richmond
Kyle Larson has seen his fortunes reverse over the past few weeks. He was leading the Cup Series points-wise in February but has dipped further away as April begins. Larson historically has been okay at Richmond with two top-ten finishes at the 3/4 mile short-track. The No. 5 driver has not had that contending run […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoBrad Keselowski A Wild Card At Richmond
Brad Keselowski has enjoyed lots of success at Richmond but is now so far behind in points after his 100-point deduction. This reduces him to trying to win races and take way more risks. Keselowski won one of the Fall races on the track and has a couple of top-five results with an average finish […]

Tyler Reddick has three top-seven finishes in his last four races and looks to carry that momentum into Richmond on Sunday. He begins from the 16th spot but found speed at Fontana and especially at Las Vegas. Reddick was second fastest in practice with his No. 8 Chevy. The question is can he translate that […]

Chase Elliott begins Sunday's race at Richmond from the 15th position. Elliott and his Hendrick Motorsports Racing car lead the Cup Series currently in points. He has not won a race yet this season but has several top-five finishes. The No. 9 car has been in the top-five twice in the last five runs at […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoDaniel Suarez Could Slow As Richmond Race Goes Along
Daniel Suarez may have the same problems as Cole Custer as the Toyota Owners 400 moves along on Sunday afternoon. Suarez had a few fast laps and ended up 14th in qualifying. However, that 10-lap run slowed brutally to 23.84 seconds on average. That was almost a second worse than his five-lap average. The Trackhouse […]

Denny Hamlin starts 13th at Richmond on Sunday. He finished last in qualifying among the four Joe Gibbs Racing cars. Over the last five races on the 3/4 mile track, Hamlin has led nearly 23% of the laps. Only Martin Truex Jr. has led more at 24.1%. Hamlin also has four top-five results but no […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoCole Custer Unexpectedly Starts Richmond Outside Row 6
Cole Custer brings up the rear for Stewart-Haas Racing and carried some solid speed in shorter five- and 10-lap runs on the Richmond track. He had a lap of 22.52 seconds as his fastest. That competes well with Joey Logano and even Ryan Blaney. The concerns were when Custer ran out to 10 to 15 […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoJoey Logano Expects To Contend At Richmond
Joey Logano starts from the 11th position for Sunday's Toyota Owners 400 from Richmond, Virginia. Logano has found a good deal of success in the last five races on the 3/4 mile track.

Chris Wassel 3 years agoAdam Hadwin Carrying Momentum Into Texas
Adam Hadwin was on the first page of the leaderboard at the Valspar for most of the first three rounds last week. His even-par weekend knocked him right out of the running for a win but he did finish tied for 7th. That followed up a top-ten at The Players Championship. Hadwin was able to […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoMackenzie Hughes Coming Back At Texas Valero Open
Mackenzie Hughes showed some signs of life at the WGC-Dell Match Play last week. He was eliminated in the Sweet 16 but there was this ability to hit some shots finally. It had not been seen enough all season. The Canadian golfer ranks sixth in putting at 0.73 strokes gained. After that, his around the […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKeegan Bradley Needs His Putter Working This Week
Keegan Bradley is a contender most anywhere when his putter is at least working decently. When he hits the plus in strokes gained for putting, those are his best weeks. At The Players Championship, Bradley was grooving after back-to-back 68's in the final two rounds. He gained more than half a stroke just from putting […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRobert MacIntyre A Wild Card At TPC San Antonio
Robert MacIntyre is just 25 years old. The young American golfer burst onto the scene a bit with a top-15 finish at The Genesis last month. His middle-round 67s drew more than a few eyes on him. It will be intriguing to see how he does on this long 7,400-plus-yard course. The hot and dry […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoMito Pereira Searches For More Birdies at Valero
Mito Pereira has some solid results this 2022 season on the PGA Tour. Pereira, when he makes the cut, typically finishes in the top-30. His season-best was a tie for 15th at The Genesis in February. His overall strokes gained is almost right at 1 (0.996) and that ranks 31st. Pereira's main weakness tends to […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoBeau Hossler May Have Issues At TPC San Antonio
The Valero Texas Open may be an adventurous experience for Beau Hossler. Hossler is a golfer that misses the fairway more than he hits. His 46.78% driver accuracy ranks 209th on the tour. It is great when one can hit 305 to 310 yards but Hossler will have to hit a bit more straight this […]

Tyler Reddick had one of the faster cars all day as the Chevy looked like he had a shot of winning at the Circuit of the Americas. In the end, Reddick led a couple of laps and settled for a fifth-place finish on Sunday. Some expected the No. 8 Chevy to fade down the stretch. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoChase Elliott Managed Fourth Place Result At Austin
Chase Elliott was the third of four Chevy's in the top-five on Sunday at the Circuit of the Americas course. Elliott did not lead any of the 69 laps as he looked better during the first stage (finishing seventh). The No. 9 car did finally start to move up the field later in the race […]

Christopher Bell managed to sneak up and finish third on Sunday at Austin. When the melee happened on the final lap, that benefitted Bell arguably the most. He did not come close to leading a lap but the result was, by far, his best result of the season. There were no major mishaps with his […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoAlex Bowman Comes Up Just Short At Austin
Alex Bowman probably was not the Hendrick Motorsports car expected to finish the best on Sunday at Austin. However, Bowman found a way to get up front at the very end. He nearly pulled off an improbable win. However, he got caught in the middle of Ross Chastain and A.J. Allmendinger. In the end, a […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoRoss Chastain Uses Physics To Win At Austin
Ross Chastain was not going to be denied on Sunday. The Trackhouse Racing driver kept at it, led 31 laps, and survived the wildest final lap of the 2022 season. His Chevy was the fastest car of the day. Considering he had been on the podium on three different tracks previously, a win seemed on […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoErik Jones Shows DFS Intrigue On Sunday At Austin
Erik Jones got off on the wrong foot at Austin during Saturday's practice and qualifying. He wound up 30th for Sunday's race. The Petty GMS Motorsports driver has a pretty fast Chevy on longer runs. Now, can the No. 43 car take advantage of that on Sunday. Increased cautions have been a theme with the […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoBrad Keselowski Possibly Worth A Look At Austin
Brad Keselowski and RFK Racing, in general, have had a pretty bad week. The biggest take from the L-2 level infractions is the 100 lost points for the No. 6 Ford. That drops Keselowski all the way to 35th in the standings with 22 points. Yes, they are appealing but the chances appear slim. Furthermore, […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoWilliam Byron May Get Overlooked At Austin
William Byron starts 24th at Austin on Sunday afternoon for the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix. Now, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has a few surprising road results that some may forget about.

Chris Wassel 3 years agoA.J. Allmendinger The Road Ringer At Austin On Sunday
A.J. Allmendinger already has had success this weekend at Austin. He won the Xfinity race on Saturday. The key was how the Kaulig Racing driver managed his restarts. The funnier thing is he did the same thing last year en route to a win at Indianapolis. Can he do it again on Sunday? This time, […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoHarrison Burton Could Struggle At Circuit Of The Americas
Harrison Burton starts reasonably well from the 19th position on Sunday at Austin. This is Burton's second road race at the top level. He crashed during lap 158 at Fontana where he never factored much into the race. The Wood Brothers racing driver is gaining valuable experience and Austin will prove to be a great […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoKevin Harvick May Have Chance At Austin
The slower of the Stewart-Haas Racing cars has been Kevin Harvick so far this season. That sounds nuts but the No. 4 has been just okay aside from Fontana. At the California road course, Harvick started 32nd but steamrolled his way into the top ten. That seventh-place finish was the best he looked all year. […]
Chris Wassel 3 years agoMartin Truex Jr. Could Rally At Austin On Sunday
Martin Truex Jr. had a very good race car last year at Austin. Then the rains came in more and more waves. The result was a crash midway through the race which knocked him out. Up until then, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver was contending and even had led three laps including a few fastest […]
