NASCAR Xfinity Series: Xfinity Series Championship DFS Plays
The 2023 NASCAR season has reached its culmination. Tonight, the NASCAR Xfinity Series crowns the champion at the conclusion of the race. Last night’s race to determine the Truck Series champion was ridiculous. Championship contenders took each other out, and the longest shot of the championship four walked away with the trophy. Other than Corey […]

NASCAR Truck Series: Craftsman 150
The 2023 NASCAR season has reached its culmination. Friday night, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series crowns the champion. Typically, the four contenders for the title are racing near the front as none of the nonqualified drivers want to be the driver that makes a mistake and ruins a contender’s opportunity. They will not tend to […]

The Round of 8 continues for NASCAR’s Xfinity Series this week at Miami. Last week, Riley Herbst secured his first career Xfinity win with a car that really came alive toward the end of the race.

NASCAR Truck Series: Love’s RV Stop 250
The last restrictor plate race on the schedule for the NASCAR season is upon us. Carnage and turmoil are the norm at Talladega, and dominator points are not nearly as important as finding drivers that finish the race and drivers that provide place differential. It is not generally a winning strategy to roster top 10 […]
