The Cup Series team drew for starting positions for the Supermarket Heroes 500. Brad Keselowski drew the pole position. This is the second time the No. 2 team drew the pole since NASCAR returned from the 71 day break. Keselowski also drew the pole for the race at Darlington. Track position is important at Bristol. […]

Driver Group Game Picks for Bristol
NASCAR will take their show to Thunder Valley this week for some short track racing at Bristol Motor Speedway. If you like action, this is the race for you. Drivers will not be scared to shove competitors out of the way in order to make it to the front. It should be fun to watch. […]
Driver Rankings for Bristol
It’s Bristol Baby! The Cup Series will park the 550 HP aero package cars and unload the reduced down force cars Sunday. NASCAR did not like what they saw on the short tracks last year so they scrapped the 2019 aero package with the 8” spoiler and 2” splitter in favor of the 2017 – […]
Bristol Race Notes
The best way to predict the future is to evaluate the past. The Cup Series last competed at Bristol Motor Speedway in August of last year. Here are my notes from that race… Bristol August 2019: The track applied traction compound at the bottom of the track. This provided for more grooves for the […]
Driver Group Game Picks for Alsco 500(K)
The Cup Series will be back on the track at Charlotte Motor Speedway Wednesday night. NASCAR is really giving fans their fill of races after they were starved for 71 days. So will the second race at Charlotte be as good as the first? So far the return to racing has not let us down. […]
Driver Group Game Starting Lineup for Coca-Cola 600
The Cup Series teams were able to qualify for the race tonight. It is the only race on the revised schedule where the teams will have to turn a fast lap to set the running order for the race. Starting position does not matter much in a 600 mile race, but I wanted to see […]
Final Driver Rankings for Coca-Cola 600
Each week I post my Driver Rankings for the race. This is not necessarily my prediction of how each driver will finish the race, but each driver’s fantasy value for the race. I use the past stats, practice speeds, starting position, information from the garage and momentum to determine who has the best cars for […]
Driver Group Game Picks for Coca-Cola 600
It is sure good to have NASCAR back. Yes, we had some interruptions for rain at Darlington but at least we had some racing. Hopefully the weather cooperates a little better this weekend so we can get the races in. The Coca-Cola 600 can be seen at 6 p.m. ET on Fox. The race at […]
Charlotte Race Notes
The NASCAR Cup Series will return home this week to compete in the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday and another 500(K) race on Wednesday. What we see at Charlotte will likely be closer to what we had in Las Vegas than the results from the two races at Darlington. Last year’s race came down to a […]
Driver Rankings for Coca-Cola 600
The Cup Series will travel back home this week to celebrate Memorial Weekend the only way they know how… with the Coca-Cola 600. This is the ultimate endurance race and it really falls into the crew chief’s hands because of the way the track changes from sunlight to darkness. It should be a fun race […]
