NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Bank Of America ROVAL 400 - Monkey Knife Fight

Sunday afternoon features the sixth race of the Chase at Charlotte. The Bank Of America ROVAL 400 is raced on the hybrid road and oval course (hence ROVAL). Monkey Knife Fight has an extremely easy fantasy point system: 0.1 points for each lap led and then a set amount of points for their position (20 […]

Erik Jones Worth a Glance at Charlotte ROVAL

Erik Jones is a dicey choice. Let's be honest. However, last year's run in the Joe Gibbs Racing car opened some eyes and he showed a keen ability to negotiate traffic. That resulted in a third-place finish. Even in a lesser Richard Petty Motorsports car, Jones does start 17th on Sunday and has the possibility […]

Chris Buescher Risky Choice at Charlotte ROVAL

Chris Buescher starts 16th on Sunday at the Charlotte ROVAL. The Roush Fenway Racing driver has finished in the top 20 in all three races on this track. Granted those are 17th, 18th, and 20th place results but the bottom line is the bottom line. That consistency for the No. 17 car is helpful and […]

Matt DiBenedetto Carries DFS Upside at Charlotte

Matt DiBenedetto has been right around the top ten in all three appearances at Charlotte. The Wood Brothers Racing driver is motivated to find a spot to race on the NASCAR circuit in 2022. Consider in 2019 and 2020, DiBenedetto finished 13th and 11th on the ROVAL. Expect the No. 21 to have some good […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Has Potential at Charlotte on Sunday

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. can get into the top 20 and maybe even top 10 to 15 on Sunday at Charlotte. He enjoyed a +21 place differential last year and +4 the year before that. The JTG-Daugherty Racing driver does start 18th on Sunday which could cut into that positive number a bit. However, the No. […]

Tyler Reddick Worth a Look at Charlotte on Sunday

Tyler Reddick is a young and at times aggressive driver. However, on the Charlotte ROVAL, he knew when to pick his spots and finished 12th in his only appearance. There is a lot to risk for Sunday, however. For one, he starts 29th. The Richard Childress Racing driver will have to pass a ton of […]

Bubba Wallace One to Stay Away From at Charlotte

Bubba Wallace won the rain-shortened race at Talladega last week with some brilliant maneuvering and holding off the field just long enough as they say. It was his first career NASCAR top-level victory. The Charlotte ROVAL is a different reality however as the 23XI Racing driver has finished 21st or worse in all three appearances. […]

Austin Dillon Not Expected Much on Sunday at Charlotte

Austin Dillon has had some awful luck at the Charlotte ROVAL but again starts outside the top ten on Sunday (14th this time). The Richard Childress Racing driver may have some speed and downforce early but the later laps will likely see him fade. That has been a sort of pattern lately for Dillon. At […]

Kurt Busch an Intriguing Option at Charlotte

Kurt Busch tends to have success at tracks like Charlotte. He has two top-ten results at the ROVAL and an average finish of 9.67. While the Chip Ganassi Racing driver has only led seven laps at the three races, he does have a fifth and fourth-place result. The elder Busch tends to run well on […]

A.J. Allmendinger Will Contend at Charlotte on Sunday

A.J. Allmendinger has not met a road course he did not like and that even goes for ROVALS as well. He finished seventh at his only Charlotte appearance in 2018 mostly because Allmendinger was able to maintain track position. Driving skills on road courses cannot be underestimated. It is why the driver will again be […]

Alex Bowman Faces Near Impossible Task at Charlotte

Alex Bowman stands 12th in the playoff chase and starts 12th on Sunday at Charlotte. He is 52 points out of a playoff spot which means Bowman would likely have to win and need a ton of miraculous help on Sunday. Bowman does have three top-ten results and an average finish of 4.67 on the […]

William Byron in Trouble at Charlotte ROVAL

William Byron stands 11th in the playoff chase and needs to garner as many points as possible at Charlotte. It can be done as the Hendricks Motorsports Racing cars have been strong on this ROVAL. Byron has had consecutive sixth-place results the last two years. He has led a combined 50 of the 218 laps […]

Kyle Larson's Point Cushion Helpful for Charlotte Race

Kyle Larson is 22 points above the cut line currently and that appears to keep him safe into the Round Of 8. While nothing is certain, that is the likelihood. With the Hendrick Motorsports Racing car, the thought process is that Larson should be able to contend with the likes of Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, […]

Kyle Busch on the Bubble Heading to Charlotte

There is a ton of reason to be concerned with Kyle Busch on Sunday. Charlotte, the ROVAL version, has been a house of horrors for the No. 18 car. How bad has it been? A variety of problems, poor pit scheduling, and bad downforce issues have resulted in a 30th place or worse standing each […]

Chase Elliott is the Favorite at Charlotte on Sunday

Chase Elliott and road courses are a match made in heaven. At the Charlotte ROVAL, the No. 9 car has won twice in three appearances. He led 27 laps last year on the way to victory and has led 18.96% of the laps overall. His driver rating of nearly 125 is the best of all […]

For Kevin Harvick, Crunch Time is at Charlotte

The question may become which type of race do we see from Kevin Harvick? Is he up near the front like in 2019 where he led 34 laps? Or will it be like 2020 where he did not factor much at all and ended up 11th? The latter may mean elimination from "The Chase" for […]

Ryan Blaney One of the Favorites at Charlotte

So, why is Ryan Blaney so good at Charlotte? The results speak for themselves. He is three for three in top-ten finishes. Blaney also has a win in 2018 and has led 30 of the 327 laps raced (including 14 in 2020). Again, the Team Penske car can get to the front, and starting sixth […]

Martin Truex Jr. Looks Safe Heading Into Charlotte

Martin Truex Jr. stands in fifth place when it comes to the playoff standings. That should be safe enough to advance into the Round Of 8. However, Truex Jr. wants to win or at least contend highly at Charlotte. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has led just a combined six laps in the three races […]

Christopher Bell Up Against it at Charlotte

The time is now for Christopher Bell. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver stands tenth with the Charlotte race looming. For Bell, the good news is he can win road races (Daytona Road). There is plenty of bad news though. Bell is 28 points out from advancing. That is a lot to make up in one […]

Joey Logano Has Spotlight on Him This Sunday at Charlotte

Joey Logano needs a good result on Sunday at Charlotte. He did finish second on the ROVAL last year without leading a single lap. The Team Penske driver found himself near the front at the end of the race. He could do so again on Sunday afternoon. Logano has three top-ten finishes in the three […]

Brad Keselowski Not Recommended for Charlotte

Brad Keselowski and road courses do not mix. Add in the fact that this is the Charlotte ROVAL and that is, even more, the reason to look the other way. Keselowski even said as such before "The Chase" started. The strange thing is in 2019, the Team Penske driver found himself in the top five […]

Denny Hamlin Has No Worries at Charlotte

Denny Hamlin has little to worry about as the Charlotte ROVAL beckons on Sunday. He has already advanced to the Round Of 8. The results are not so good for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver on this course anyway. He may start from the pole but the likelihood of him fading back is high. The […]

NASCAR DFS Prop Picks for 10/3 - PrizePicks

Hello once again everyone!  We hit the Talladega Superspeedway one last time from Talladega Motor Speedway this week and another edition of NASCAR DFS on PrizePicks. Now, that means our new friends over at PrizePicks have a TON of great props we can look to take advantage of. PrizePicks is a great DFS props site […]

NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: YellaWood 500 - Monkey Knife Fight

Sunday afternoon features the fifth race of the chase at Talladega. The YellaWood 500 is raced on the 2.66-mile superspeedway. Monkey Knife Fight has an extremely easy fantasy point system: 0.1 points for each lap led and then a set amount of points for their position (20 for 1st place, 19 for 2nd place, 18 […]

Aric Almirola Is One To Watch At Talladega

Aric Almirola, other than a 2020 crash, has been excellent at Talladega with a slew of top-10 results. The Stewart-Haas racing driver even won the 2018 fall race when he led the one lap that counted -- the final one. At one point, the No. 10 car finished in the top 10 eight consecutive times. […]

Bubba Wallace Slightly Intriguing At Talladega

Bubba Wallace has raced pretty well even with some bad luck at Talladega. Over the last two races, Wallace has led a combined 26 laps. He even racked up some stage points for his new team as well. The 23XI Racing driver should have better results next year. That is the hope. This year is […]

Daniel Suarez A Questionable Choice At Talladega

Daniel Suarez has not finished in the top 10 when it comes to the fall race at Talladega. He has some decent top-20 results, though. That is good for the Trackhouse Racing driver, but is that good enough for DFS? Suarez starts 18th on Sunday, and his best place differential on the superspeedway is plus-nine […]

Chase Briscoe A Dicey Option At Talladega

One gets the feeling that Chase Briscoe's 11th-place finish in the spring at Talladega may have been more a product of attrition than anything else. It will be interesting to see how the Stewart-Haas Racing driver comes out on Sunday. He starts 17th, and it has not been the greatest of seasons for Briscoe. He […]

Austin Dillon On A Good Run At Talladega

There is a risk every time Austin Dillon or any driver races at Talladega. However, five of the last six races have been mostly good for the Richard Childress Racing driver. Four top-15 results to boot have some wondering what Dillon can do starting from the 16th spot on Sunday. The No. 3 car has […]

Matt DiBenedetto Just Has To Drive At Talladega

At this point, all Matt DiBenedetto can do is just drive his race car. His crew chief is moving on at the end of the season. He does not have a ride for next year as of press time. All he can do is just go for it. The last two races at Talladega have […]
