Geico 500 DFS breakdown
NASCAR heads to Talladega Sunday for the Geico 500. This track is similar to Daytona in that it is a superspeedway, though Talladega is a wider track than its Florida counterpart that allows four-wide racing at times. It is very difficult to roster a lineup with no casualties by the end of these superspeedway races. […]

Toyota Owners 400 DFS breakdown
NASCAR heats to Richmond this week for Sunday’s Toyota Owners 400. Last week, Martin Truex Jr. again showed that he rules the short tracks. Denny Hamlin dominated the laps led category, but it was Truex who left with the win. This week we are back at another short track, and Truex will again take the […]

Must Javs: DFS plays for Sunday's Toyota Owners 400
Welcome to our DFS breakdown for Sunday’s Toyota Owners 400. We have a 400-lap short-flat 0.75-mile track that we will be using short track data from this year, previous years here at Richmond, recent green flag speed, and Phoenix race data to best target our plays. I also use the data from previous years to go […]

Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 DFS breakdown
NASCAR is back after a brief hiatus for Saturday’s Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 at Martinsville. Once again, odds are high that this race will not run Saturday; it has been raining quite a bit in Virginia since Friday night and forecasts call for 70-90% again Saturday. That would relegate this to a day race […]

NASCAR DFS Worksheet: Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500
NASCAR DFS is back after a week off, and we’re heading to Martinsville for the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500. Martinsville’s signature paperclip shape makes it one of the most unique tracks on the circuit. It’s a short track is just a half-mile with flat banking. We have 500 laps on tap for this race, […]

Food City Dirt Race DFS breakdown
NASCAR lands in Bristol for this week’s Food City Dirt Race Sunday. Odds are high this race will not run Sunday — as I write this, there is a deluge of rain around the track and that is not ending any time soon — but that’s the schedule. If NASCAR postpones soon enough, the DFS […]

NASCAR DFS Worksheet: Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500
NASCAR DFS heads to Atlanta this week for the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. Atlanta is a very different track from last week’s race in Phoenix. Sometimes called a “cookie cutter” track, Atlanta is a 1.5-mile quad oval. But what makes this track unique is the extremely abrasive surface. Tire wear is a major factor […]

Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 DFS breakdown
Atlanta Motor Speedway is the host for Sunday’s Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. The series heads back east to the typical 1.5-mile track that is the bulk of the NASCAR Cup Series schedule.

NASCAR DFS Worksheet: Instacart 500
NASCAR DFS gets a turn on the flat track in Phoenix this weekend for the Instacart 500. Phoenix is a one-mile flat track that is very different from the 1.5-mile intermediate high-banked tracks we’ve seen over the last two weeks. This is a shorter track that despite being an oval, has some similarities with road […]

NASCAR DFS Worksheet: Pennzoil 400
NASCAR is in Las Vegas for this weekend’s racing action. We have another 1.5-mile intermediate track for the Pennzoil 400, but this track isn’t quite the same as Homestead last week. Las Vegas has a much smoother surface, so tire wear isn’t as much of a factor as it was in Miami. However, like last […]

NASCAR DFS Worksheet: Dixie Vodka 400
NASCAR heads down to Miami at Homestead Raceway for the Dixie Vodka 400. Unlike the first two races of the 2021 season, Homestead presents a more traditional track as a 1.5-mile intermediate. However, unlike some of the other 1.5-mile tracks on the circuit, tire wear is a big factor on Homestead’s abrasive surface. We’ll have […]

NASCAR remains in Daytona for the second straight week, but we’re on the road course this weekend for the O’Reilly Auto Parts 253. This roval-style track requires a very different DFS strategy from last week’s race. There are only 70 laps, and that means very few fastest lap and laps led points. That means we’re […]
