Chase Elliott A Wildcard At Darlington On Sunday
Chase Elliott could finish anywhere on Sunday at Darlington. He starts in sixth and the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has the ability to take the checkered flag.

Martin Truex Jr. had one of the fastest cars at Darlington in 2020 but could not finish the race despite three chances. He finished sixth and tenth in the first two installments. Then, in the Fall race, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver led 196 laps but a bit of bad luck forced him back to […]

Kyle Busch broke into the win column last week at Kansas on his birthday in the Buschy McBusch 400. This week, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver starts from the third position and should be able to stay around or near the front of the race. The younger Busch has 12 top-ten results in 18 races […]

The problem may be that Brad Keselowski starts from the pole on Sunday for the Goodyear 400. There is good news. The last time he started from the top was last May and he led 80 laps before finishing 13th. In the second installment, the Team Penske driver had a fourth-place result. While he truly […]

The metrics were kind to Kevin Harvick this week as he starts second on Sunday at the Goodyear 400.

Last week at Kansas, the driver simply ran out of […]

Chris Wassel 4 years agoKevin Harvick Nearly Pulls Off Win At Kansas
Kevin Harvick had the fresher tires and the momentum during the final laps of the Buschy McBusch 400. However, he simply ran out of time. With a couple of laps to go, Harvick had a tough road to try and reel in the two Toyota cars upfront. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver passed Martin Truex Jr […]

Chris Wassel 4 years agoChris Buescher Has Limited Upside At Kansas On Sunday
Chris Buescher has not shown much improvement of late. He has a negative place differential in his last three races. The Roush Fenway Racing driver starts from the 16th position on Sunday for the Buschy McBusch 400. The 1.5-mile track should be a refuge from the heat he has been feeling in the media. He […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChase Briscoe Tries To Repeat Run From Last Week On Sunday At Kansas
This race track is not quite as intimidating but Chase Briscoe showed he could scratch, claw, and do whatever it takes to succeed. That result became nearly a top-ten finish as the Stewart-Haas Racing driver finished 11th at Talladega. Briscoe starts from the 19th position this week and maybe off most radars for Sunday. Do […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoRyan Newman May Just Move Up Again On Sunday At Kansas
Ryan Newman has shown an ability to launch some nice runs in races this season. He has improved his overall track position by nine or more spots five times in 2021. That is quite impressive. The Roush Fenway Racing Driver starts in 14th on Sunday from Kansas for the Buschy McBusch 400. That presents to […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoDaniel Suarez Needs A Result At Kansas On Sunday Afternoon
Daniel Suarez has struggled since his fourth-place finish at Bristol. He led 58 laps there and has not led one since. The only sign of progress was that he did finish on the lead lap at Talladega.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoRoss Chastain A Wildcard At Kansas On Sunday
Ross Chastain was able to maintain track position in his last few races but will need to make some moves on Sunday in Kansas. He starts in the 24th position as the Chip Ganassi Racing driver did not rank high enough in the metrics. Now, Chastain did lead 12 laps at Talladega and that could […]

Chris Wassel 4 years agoRicky Stenhouse Jr. One To Stay Away From At Kansas
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has faltered a good bit in his last three races finishing outside the top ten in each of them. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver wound up 33rd last week at Talladega after a rough afternoon. Furthermore, at Kansas, Stenhouse Jr. has ended up outside the top ten in every one of his […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoAlex Bowman Could Ride Hendrick Motorsports Wave At Kansas
A common theme this week is a lot of the "contenders" starting in positions they normally would not. Alex Bowman is no exception as the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver begins Sunday 25th. There is a little bit of hesitation here as Bowman has not finished two of the last three races. However, the one in […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoJoey Logano Motivated For Kansas Race With Positive DFS Value

Chris Wassel 4 years agoKyle Larson Should Move Up Field Quickly On Sunday At Kansas
Kyle Larson starts all the way down at 32nd position on Sunday for the Buschy McBusch 400. That is no misprint. The piece of metal in his engine area last week caused him to bow out after just three laps. That 40th place finish resulted in a huge downturn in the metrics. That presents incredible […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChase Elliott Possesses Place Differential Chance On Sunday At Kansas
Chase Elliott's defense of his 2020 Cup Series win has been problematic from the beginning. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver struggled to get back on the lead lap last week at Talladega while finishing 24th.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoBubba Wallace Doesn't Have Same Potential As Last Week At Kansas
Bubba Wallace had a wild ride at Talladega. He even won Stage 2 of the race for his first stage win in his career. That glory was short-lived as the 23XI Racing driver fell backward to the 19th position when the race was done. Furthermore, Wallace enters this week 13th which limits any place differential […]
