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. […]

NASCAR One & Done Picks for Bristol
Now that NASCAR has given us our fill of 1.5-mile track racing, it is time to turn up the action about 10 notches on the excitement dial. It is time to go short track racing in Thunder Valley. This is one of my favorite tracks and it is hard to believe the Coliseum will not […]
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 […]
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 […]
NASCAR One & Done Picks for Coca-Cola 600
It is Memorial weekend and that means it is time to buckle up in front of the TV for five hours of racing. The Coca-Cola 600 is a marathon and the tracks changes a lot over the length of the race. Crew chiefs need to bring their “A” game to the track. The Coca-Cola 600 […]
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 […]
NASCAR One & Done Picks for Toyota 500
Do you like sequels? The Cup Series race last Sunday had some of its highest ratings in years, so the only logical thing to do is to make a sequel. Darlington Part II takes place Wednesday night at 6 p.m. on Fox Sports 1. Last Race: I decided to use Brad Keselowski from the pole […]
Driver Rankings for Toyota 500
The Cup Series will return to Darlington Wednesday night. The race starts at 6 p.m. ET on FS1. The start time will be almost the same time as when the race ended Sunday. A night race should change the race a bit, but I expect many of the cars who ran up front Sunday to […]
