Best Bets for Trucks |

Kyle Busch +250

Making his first Truck start this Saturday for Spire Motorsports, Kyle Busch is looking to continue his dominance in Atlanta. Busch won in his last start in 2021 and has six Truck wins to his name at this track. The veteran driver will look to take charge in a field full of aggressive young guns.

Christian Eckes +800

Last year’s winner Christian Eckes is looking to go back to back this weekend. Coming off a Top 10 run last week at Daytona, Eckes is poised to become the favorite amongst the regulars competing for the Truck Series championship. He played it safe last year and it worked out for him, we’ll have to wait and see if he can do it two years in a row.

Nick Sanchez +1000

Last weekend at Daytona, Nick Sanchez scored his first career Craftsman Truck Series win. Not only will he be looking to go back to back in victory lane, he’ll be looking for redemption this weekend after losing last year’s race in a last lap pass to Eckes.

Ben Rhodes +1300

No one loves Atlanta more than Ben Rhodes. In his eight starts in Atlanta, Rhodes has secured five Top 5’s and his worse finish was 16th. After a weekend to forget at Daytona, the defending Truck Series Champion will look to return to form this weekend.

Bayley Currey +3500

Niece Motorsports showed its speed last weekend at Daytona, but the highest finisher of last week was Bayley Currey. In last year’s race, Currey navigated his way to a Top 5 finish. Consistency is key and Currey knows how to put his truck in a good position when it matters most.
