Best Bets for Trucks |
Kyle Busch +180
The favorite entering this weekend, to no one’s surprise, is Kyle Busch. Coming off a race to forget in Las Vegas, Busch is looking to add another trophy to his collection from Bristol. He’s recorded five wins in the Trucks Series, most recently in his last start back in 2017. He’ll be the one every other driver will be chasing after.
Christian Eckes +500
He dominated last year’s race but came up just short, but Christian Eckes has this track circled on his calendar for a reason. His worse finish was 12th for Kyle Busch Motorsports in his first Truck start at the track, and finished 8th in 2022 for Thorsport. Eckes has established himself as a threat at McAnally-Hilgemann Racing, lookout for him this weekend.
Corey Heim +650
He stole last year’s race, but short track racing is Corey Heim’s cup of tea. Heim won two of his three races last season on short tracks, Bristol and Martinsville. Heim recorded five Top 10 finishes on all short track races last year. He’s finished inside the Top 5 in every race this season, he’ll look to keep it going at Bristol.
Grant Enfinger +1200
One of the more underrated drivers at Bristol is Grant Enfinger. In all seven career Truck starts at Bristol, Enfinger has finished inside the Top 10 in every start, recording an average finish of 5th. After recording his first Top 10 of the season a couple weeks back in Las Vegas, he’ll be looking to add his first Top 5 of the season on Saturday night.
Rajah Caruth +1500
One driver who’s off to a terrific start in 2024 is Rajah Caruth. Coming off his first career Truck Series win at Las Vegas, he put the field on notice that he’s a threat this season. He’s recorded a Top 10 finish in every race this season, and he’ll look to keep the momentum rolling in the right direction with Spire Motorsports this weekend.
