NASCAR DFS Prop Picks: Food City Dirt Race - Monkey Knife Fight

Sunday features the Food City Dirt Race from Bristol. Kyle Larson, Denny Hamlin, Ryan Blaney, Kyle Busch, and Martin Truex Jr will make up the top five to start the race. 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 […]

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Dicey Pick For Bristol

Though Ricky Stenhouse Jr. has been pretty steady the past few races, the dirt track may be too much for Stenhouse Jr. on Sunday. Maintaining track position will not be easy. The JTG Daugherty Racing driver ended up 35th in practice session one and 19th on Friday in practice session two. This partially illustrated what […]

Ryan Newman May Move Up On Sunday At Food City Dirt Race

Ryan Newman qualified 14th at Bristol on Sunday but it was that 11th place finish in practice number one that drew some notice. Then there was the 22nd place result in Friday's practice session. One key thing is the momentum carried from last week in Atlanta. Newman was able to stay on the lead lap. […]

Kurt Busch Worth A Risk At Bristol On Sunday

Kurt Busch starts from the 28th position on Sunday at the Food City Dirt Race. The Chip Ganassi Racing driver has won six times in 40 career races. Also, Busch finished in the top-ten during four of the previous five appearances at Bristol. That alone gives some a little hope at place differential upside. The […]

Daniel Suarez Not A Factor Again DFS Wise For Bristol

Daniel Suarez will entice some in DFS on. Sunday with his 11th place finish in the final practice session on Friday. However, the TrackHouse Racing driver qualified 18th on Sunday for the Food City Dirt Race. Suarez has not finished inside the top-15 all season which limits his place differential possibilities. When he was starting […]

Chris Buescher A Challenge To Utilize In DFS At Bristol

Chris Buescher starting in 11th at the Food City Dirt Race is a bit of a hindrance this week. He did finish in the top-ten during the final practice session on Friday. The positive aspect is that the Roush Fenway Racing driver did finish seventh in Atlanta last week. Buescher had a tough time staying […]

Michael McDowell Has A Glimpse Of Potential At Bristol

Michael McDowell did not have a good start to the week when he finished 30th in the first practice session on the dirt track. His pit crew made adjustments and so did McDowell. The result was an eighth-place finish on Friday and gave the Front Row Motorsports driver some much-needed confidence. He starts 16th on […]

Aric Almirola Expects To Have Long Day At Bristol

Aric Almirola has had a long, long season already. Sunday, he starts outside the top-10 again at Bristol. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver begins in the 23rd position. There is little to expect here as his season-high finish is 11th. Also, Almirola has not led a single lap this season. Honestly, he has barely been in […]

Chase Elliott Carries Potential At Bristol

Chase Elliott has had a rough 2021, to say the least. After his engine blew last week at Atlanta, he starts 26th this week at the Food City Dirt Race. The one-piece of good news is that Elliott should have excellent potential for place differential. The Hendrick Motorsports driver finished sixth and seventh at the […]

Chase Briscoe Could Surprise At Food City Dirt Race

Chase Briscoe had one of those fast cars during the two practice sessions. The No.14 Ford finished in the top-ten during practice with a fifth on Friday. Briscoe starts all the way down in the 25th position. If his car can sustain what has been seen in qualifying, then Briscoe will be a great DFS […]

Joey Logano May Slide Back A Bit Sunday At Bristol

Joey Logano begins in tenth for the Food City Dirt Race on Sunday. The Team Penske driver has won twice previously at Bristol but has been outside the top-ten while going backwards in three straight races. His practice runs were okay but nothing spectacular. Logano has not finished on the lead lap in two of […]

William Byron Has DFS Consistency Going Into Bristol

William Byron consolidated his victory at Homestead and parlayed that into three consecutive eighth-place finishes. That consistency expects to serve him well as he starts eighth at the Food City Dirt Race. The Hendrick Motorsports driver had one of the top cars in practice on Friday which only improves his prospects even on dirt. While […]

Kevin Harvick May Have Tough Time At Bristol

Kevin Harvick will begin in sixth on Sunday at the Food City Dirt Race. However, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver may not stay there. Though the driver has won three times at Bristol, he was only okay at the practice sessions on Friday. If the washout had not happened Saturday night, it was possible Harvick would […]

Alex Bowman An Intriguing Pick At Bristol

Alex Bowman benefits from last week's third-place finish at Atlanta. He starts from the seventh spot at the Food City Dirt Race. For that reason, Bowman is on the radar at 20 to 1 odds. There is one thing that will temper some expectations. The Hendrick Motorsports driver has not led a single lap in […]

Austin Dillon One To Watch On Sunday At Bristol

Austin Dillon begins from ninth on Sunday at the Food City Dirt Race. Dillon carries 10 to 1 odds because of his previous success at dirt races and some road courses. Dillon finished sixth last week in the Richard Childress Racing car. The No.3 car was one of the five fastest on the Bristol track […]

Christopher Bell Likely To Excel At Bristol

Christopher Bell has a ton of experience racing on dirt and figures to contend at the Food City Dirt Race on Sunday. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver qualifies 15th which could help in terms of place differential. Bell had 11 to 2 odds which is not surprising given he had the second-fastest car during Friday's […]

Martin Truex Jr In The Top Five And Could Contend At Bristol

Martin Truex Jr. is yet another Joe Gibbs Racing driver in the top-five on Sunday at the Food City Dirt Race. Though Kyle Larson and Kyle Busch are excellent on dirt, Truex Jr. is no slouch either. In his early days, he used to race on several dirt tracks in Southern and Central New Jersey. […]

Kyle Busch Awarded Fourth For Food City Dirt Race Sunday

Kyle Busch starts from spot number four on Sunday at Bristol. Busch expects to be one of the favorites on Sunday. He has won eight of the previous 31 races at the race track. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has contended in six of the past seven appearances there (three wins). Though this is a […]

Ryan Blaney Expected To Have Upside Sunday

Ryan Blaney won in Atlanta last week and will carry that momentum into Bristol on Sunday. The Team Penske driver will begin from the third position at the Food City Dirt Race. Blaney finished 4th and 10th in the two 2019 races at Bristol and has some marginal success at the track. Though this time […]

Denny Hamlin In Good Position For Success Sunday

Denny Hamlin, thanks to the washout, will start from the second spot on Sunday at Bristol. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver has come close to victory in nearly every race so far this season. His five top-five finishes lead all racers and Hamlin led at least 27 laps in the last three races. The driver […]

Kyle Larson Awarded Pole, Faces Uphill Battle Sunday

Kyle Larson won the pole on Sunday at Bristol for the Food City Dirt Race. However, since his crew had to change engines after Friday's final practice, Larson is expected to be bumped down to the rear of the field. Though Larson will likely move up through the field, it will not be easy. Larson […]

Chase Elliott Blown Engine Ends Rough Day At Atlanta

Chase Elliott knew he had an uphill battle to contend at Atlanta even with his previous track record there. Little did the Chevy driver know how bad this day would become. Elliott was in position after Stage 1. He was 8th and starting to gain some traction when Kyle Busch spun out and everyone jammed […]

Kevin Harvick Blows A Tire, Never Contends At Atlanta

Kevin Harvick ran into trouble early at another track he normally fares well at and wound up fighting all day just to end up in the top-ten. A blown tire forced Harvick to pit early with his Stewart-Haas Racing car. Harvick was 24th after Stage 1 then improved slightly to 20th after Stage 2. The […]

Kyle Busch Spun Out, Rebounded To End Up Fifth

Kyle Busch had a bit of an eventful drive Sunday at Atlanta. He spun out on lap 113 which caused his brother, Kurt, to get knocked out of the race. After that, Busch bounced back to finish fourth in Stage 2. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver never got much closer after that as his car […]

Denny Hamlin Non-Factor Late, Ends Up Fourth At Atlanta

Denny Hamlin had some contact with Kurt Busch around pit lane on Lap 113 after a Kyle Busch spin that caused everyone to check up. That did seem to have some effect on his car later in the race as Hamlin's car was not quite the same during the final run. The result was the […]

Alex Bowman More Than Reasonable, Finishes Third At Atlanta

Alex Bowman hung in there all day, survived the wrecks, and was able to take advantage of the long run at the end and finish third at Atlanta. He never did lead a lap but the Chevy was able to stay on the lead lap pretty much the entire race. Sometimes at Atlanta, survival yields […]

Kyle Larson Dominates Atlanta Yet Settles For Second

Kyle Larson did everything a racer could ask for. He led a ton of laps. He enjoyed a dominating race car. He looked poised to win and then just like that, it was gone. With just eight laps to go, Ryan Blaney got by his Chevy and Larson never could catch up. Larson ultimately got […]
