Matt DiBenedetto Carries DFS Upside At Martinsville
Matt DiBenedetto begins Sunday from the 21st position at Martinsville. During the Spring, he started 22nd, got into the top-ten several times, and fell slightly back to 12th.

Tyler Reddick An Intriguing Option On Sunday At Martinsville

Bubba Wallace Has Good Chance To Stay On Lead Lap Sunday
What may be lost at Martinsville is that in the Spring, Bubba Wallace led 23 laps. That is not just during a pit window, etc. It means at that point, Wallace's No. 23 was rather fast. So, there is speed. The question is sustainability on the 0.526-mile track. Wallace faded badly down the stretch of... Read More
Ross Chastain Might Stay On Lead Lap At Martinsville
This is the best starting position that Ross Chastain has had for the Martinsville race. However, is 16th a good thing?
