He swept all three stages, led 377 of 400 laps and won his fourth race of the season and it was big for a couple reasons. First of all, it gives him 25 playoff points which will come in handy once the postseason begins and even bigger it gives Busch a win at every track he has raced on in the Cup series making him the only driver in history to do so. Kevin Harvick had to start from the back and with that was the highest owned driver and as anticipated made it inside the Top 10 within the first stage only to run over some debris, hit the wall, and exit the race at lap 83. This week the Monster Energy Cup Series travels to the Tricky Triangle for the Pocono 400 this Sunday afternoon. Pocono Raceway is one of the most unique tracks in NASCAR with three turns, all different from one another with anywhere from six to 14 degrees of banking. What makes it the most difficult for crew chiefs and teams is the balanced setup that is needed for a driver to have a good car throughout all the turns which makes for some exciting racing. From a fantasy perspective, with just 160 laps, there is much less emphasis on dominator points and the results prove that point. Over the last six races here, only once has a driver led 100 laps and it was Kyle Busch in this race last year and on top of that, there has only been one driver in five of the last six races to lead 50 or more laps. Place differential has been tough to come by as well as there have been seven or fewer drivers to pick up double-digit place differential in five of the last six races. What does this all mean? Track position is key and is even more emphasized since the...

It is most definitely one of the biggest race weekends of the entire year and it starts with the F1 Monaco Grand Prix, followed by the Indianapolis 500, and the day closes out with the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Coca-Cola 600. It is the first of two points-paying races here at Charlotte during the season with the second coming in the Playoffs. The difference in the two races is that the fall race is a 501-mile race with 334 laps while this race is 600 miles and the longest race of the season as it starts during the late afternoon and then finishes under the lights. From a fantasy perspective, we will most definitely be looking at nailing down a dominator in this race with 400 laps available to lead. Looking back at the last six Charlotte races(Playoff races included), there has been just one driver to lead 100 or more laps in five of the six races and two drivers to it in just one race(2015 Coca-Cola 600). It is also noteworthy to mention that in each of the last two Coca-Cola 600's we have seen a driver lead 200 or more laps, both being Martin Truex Jr.(625 laps led total in those two races). Place differential is very much reliant on qualifying as it has been up and down here at Charlotte with as many as 16 and as few as one driver picking up double-digit totals. Stay tuned for the post-qualifying picks on the cheatsheet as well as my weekly picks video on YouTube that will be posted below. Let's now jump in and take a look at some race trends and pre-qualifying targets. Last Six Winners at Charlotte Motor Speedway 2017 Playoffs - Martin Truex Jr.(started 17th, led 91 laps) 2017 Coca-Cola 600 - Austin Dillon(Started 22nd, led 2 laps) 2016 Playoffs - Jimmie Johnson(started 11th, led 155 laps) 2016 Coca-Cola 600 - Martin Truex Jr.(started 1st, led 392 laps) 2015 Playoffs - Joey Logano(started...

For Stewart-Haas, it was another impressive team effort as Clint Bowyer finished 2nd, Kurt Busch finished 5th, and Aric Almirola finished 11th. Three Toyota's(Daniel Suarez-3rd, Martin Truex Jr.-4th, Denny Hamlin-7th) finished inside the Top 10 and it could have been four if not for a broken driveshaft on the #18 car of Kyle Busch who showed he had a Top 3 car. The Top Chevrolet's in the race were Jimmie Johnson and Kyle Larson who finished 9th and 10th respectively. This week the Monster Energy Cup Series heads to Kansas Speedway for the KC Masterpiece 400 on Saturday night. It is the first mile and a half track the series has visited in over a month and for most of the drivers, they probably wish the break was longer. Kevin Harvick won at Atlanta and Las Vegas and was runner-up to Kyle Busch at Texas and Martin Truex Jr. finished Top 5 in Atlanta and Las Vegas and if not for a crash at Texas, might have competed for a win or at least a third Top 5. Looking at the fantasy numbers, we are once again going to be building our core around dominator drivers as there has been one driver to lead 100 or more laps in five straight races here and multiple drivers lead 50 or more laps in four straight and five of the last six races here. While that strategy is fairly similar to last week, one thing that changes is the potential for place differential as passing is a little bit easier here than it was in Dover where only two drivers picked up double-digit place differential. Looking at the two races last year here at Kansas, there were 12 and 11 drivers who picked up double-digit place differential with stage racing obviously playing a...

We've got you completely covered.   AAA 400 Drive for Autism Dover International Speedway - Dover, DE Track - One-Mile Oval Intermediate It was a Ford dominated Talladega race last weekend as Joey Logano led a race-high 70 laps to pick up his first win of the season with his manufacturer teammates making up six of the top seven finishing positions. For Logano, it was his third win at Dega in the last six races and for Penske Racing it was their sixth win at the track in the last eight races. It was a pretty quiet race, in terms of cautions & crashes, up until Lap 165 where The Big One finally happened. It involved 14 cars including some contenders in Brad Keselowski, Clint Bowyer, William Byron, Paul Menard, and others. This week the Monster Energy Cup Series heads to the Monster Mile, Dover International Speedway, for the AAA Drive for Autism. It is a unique track in that it has the speed similar to a mile and a half track but the aggressiveness of a short track and some people refer to it is a bigger, faster Bristol. Some of the interesting aspects are that cars go low into the high-banked corners and then pop up the track like an incline as they get into the straightaways. The key to winning here is also similar to Bristol in that you have to walk a fine line between being aggressive and staying out of trouble. Track position is also a big factor as cars starting at the rear can go a lap or two down very early and it's very difficult to get those laps back. From a fantasy standpoint, dominator points are back in the mix this week as we have seen multiple drivers lead 100 or more laps n three straight and four of the last six races here. With FanDuel adding fantasy NASCAR this past week there are a few early takeaways I have noticed when running the past fantasy numbers. On DraftKings, it is very tough to roster drivers who start inside the Top 10 but don't really have dominator potential(laps...
