Ryan Preece Not Expected To Be Factor At Kansas On Sunday
Ryan Preece enjoyed a nice run at Talladega last week as he led nine laps and finished in 14th. The +15 place differential caught the eye of a few in the DFS world. However, this week he starts 12th at Kansas. Three of his first four races on the 1.5-mile track have ended poorly for […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoTyler Reddick Has Little Positive DFS Value On Sunday At Kansas
Tyler Reddick has three top-ten finishes in his last four races but Kansas was unkind to him in 2020. He finished in 13th and 25th. Reddick did not factor much in the final laps of either race and lost track position. Last Spring's race saw him fall out of the top ten and that could […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoCole Custer May Maintain Some Track Position Sunday At Kansas
Cole Custer finished in the top ten last week at Talladega which played a heavy part in the NASCAR metrics system this week.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoKyle Busch Has Some intrigue On His Side At Kansas
The question is which Kyle Busch do we see on Sunday at Kansas. Do we see the driver that finished in the top ten in the last two Fall races at Kansas or the driver that struggled late in the Spring versions of the event. It's a great question. If one goes back to the […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoChristopher Bell May Not Have Much DFS Upside Sunday
Christopher Bell had some promise with a seventh in Martinsville and a fourth in Richmond two weeks ago.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoRyan Blaney Expected To Lurk Around Top Ten Sunday
Ryan Blaney tends to find a way to meander around the top ten in races and that makes him dangerous on Sunday at Kansas. He starts from the seventh position for the Buschy McBusch 400. The Team Penske driver has finished no lower than 11th in every race since Homestead in February. Blaney's results at […]

Chris Wassel 4 years agoMatt DiBenedetto Is A Good Play At Kansas
Matt DiBenedetto keeps improving every week and now has consecutive top ten results under his belt.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoKevin Harvick Should Be One Of The Favorites At Kansas

Chris Wassel 4 years agoKevin Harvick Nails Down Top-Five Finish At Talladega
Kevin Harvick led 12 laps on Sunday, but it was his ability to be patient that led him to a fourth-place finish on the 2.66-mile tri-oval at the superspeedway.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoRoss Chastain Could Move Up Sunday Some Spots At Talladega

However, the Chip Ganassi Racing driver begins the Geico 500 18th. Consider that Chastian has enjoyed double-digit place improvements every race at Talladega, he is one […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoBubba Wallace Expects Not To Be Factor At Talladega
Bubba Wallace is still learning his race car and how it runs on various tracks. Sunday is another chance for the 23XI Racing driver to hopefully gain some racing experience.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoErik Jones A Very Nice DFS Value Option On Sunday At Talladega
Erik Jones has had a few top-ten finishes this season. However, some may be surprised how well Jones has performed at Talladega.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoChase Briscoe Possesses Little DFS Upside At Talladega
Chase Briscoe will get his first lesson at Talladega on the big stage Sunday. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has not finished in the top ten or even 15 all season. Also, Briscoe has not finished on the lead lap in his previous four races. That does not bode well at the superspeedway. The only bright […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKurt Busch May Surprise At Talladega Once Again
Kurt Busch has had a mixed bag of results at the Talladega Superspeedway. He goes into the Geico 500 enduring one tough season with no wins and not that close to a win on the season.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoRicky Stenhouse Jr. Shows DFS Potential At Talladega

Chris Wassel 4 years agoKevin Harvick Might Have Tiny Bit Of DFS Upside At Talladega
Kevin Harvick has a half dozen top-ten finishes on the 2021 season but has not cracked the winners' circle. The expectation is that he will not this Sunday at Talladega.

Chris Wassel 4 years agoAustin Dillon May Not Spring Into Contention At Talladega
Austin Dillon starts 11th on Sunday at Talladega for the Geico 500. However, the Richard Childress Racing driver has crashed four times in his last eight appearances on the 2.66-mile track. Since his third-place finish during the 2016 Spring race, Dillon has finished 36th, 35th, 14th, and 39th. That inspires little confidence and Dillon has […]
Chris Wassel 4 years agoKyle Larson Not Recommended For Talladega This Week
Kyle Larson and Talladega do not mix. He has just two top-ten finishes on the track and has crashed in three of the previous four races. Also, the Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver has finished on the lead lap just six times. That is a true coin flip for someone starting 12th on Sunday. Place differential […]
