NASCAR Cup Series: Wurth 400 DFS Plays
Rain, rain, go away! This weekend has largely been canceled due to Mother Nature. Qualifying was rained out as well as some practice. The practice that did take place is nearly worthless to the race conditions. Not only will the race (likely to happen on Monday due to more rain) be much different than what […]

NASCAR Cup Series: A-Game 200
FTN’s Tim Watts provides his tiered DFS breakdown for Saturday’s A-Game 200 at Dover Motor Speedway. The Xfinity series takes to the 1 mile track in Dover, Delaware today. There are 200 laps in this race which means there are more dominator points than in a typical Xfinity race. Last year at Dover, JR Motorsports […]

NASCAR Cup Series: Geico 500 DFS Plays
As witnessed in yesterday’s Xfintiy race, carnage is the norm at these restrictor plate tracks. Less than half of the cars that started the race were on the track at the finish. It was reminiscent of a small town Saturday night enduro race. While you don’t typically expect that much carnage in the top […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: Ag-Pro 300 DFS Plays
The NASCAR Xfinity Series is in Talladega Saturday for the Ag-Pro 300. Talladega is the third different “plate” track this season, and like I mentioned at Atlanta, Austin Hill is as close to a lock to be in contention for the win as anyone has ever been at plate tracks. The way we need to […]

NASCAR Cup Series: NOCO 400 DFS Plays
Christopher Bell got the “dirt guys” in the win column at Bristol last week. This week is back to the paved track of Martinsville. The track fondly known as “the paperclip” is home to some exciting racing, and qualifying has left plenty of opportunities to build some powerhouse lineups. There will need to be […]

The novelty dirt race in Bristol, Tennessee, returns for the third straight year. Somewhat surprisingly, both races have been won by drivers we don’t necessarily associate as dirt racing “experts”.

All pre-race track activities have been rained out, so the information from this track in both races last year will be our starting point for data. Last year, Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick won, but the story was Christopher Bell. He ran well and led laps, and I expect him to do that again. […]

Team Red Bull is dominant. After opening the season with consecutive 1-2 finishes, the closest competition on the racetrack may be nothing more than between the two teammates of Team Red Bull.

NASCAR Cup Series: EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix DFS Plays
The series’ first road course race of the season is this weekend. NASCAR has changed the stage racing rules for road courses, and there won’t be predetermined caution flags for the road course races. There could potentially be green flag racing throughout, which opens up some strategy. Because COTA is the longest track on […]

NASCAR Cup Series: Ambetter Health 400 DFS Plays
If you have watched the Craftsman Truck Series or the Xfinity Series this weekend at Atlanta, you have seen an absolutely ridiculous amount of cautions.

As predicted here one week ago, Max Verstappen picked up where he left off and thoroughly shellacked the competition in Bahrain en route to a 1-2 sweep for Team Red Bull. He is still the class of the field, as is Team Red Bull. If you are new to F1 DFS, there is a […]

NASCAR Xfinity Series: Raptor 250 DFS Plays
Speedway racing in the Xfinity Series — like Saturday’s Raptor 250 at Atlanta Motor Speedway — means Austin Hill is the biggest threat to win. Think “Dale Earnhardt Jr. at Talladega” type of prowess. The hesitation for rostering him beyond just a handful of lineups is that he starts in third and has the highest […]
