Best Bets for Xfinity |
Austin Hill +350
Once again Austin Hill enters as the favorite to win this Saturday in Atlanta. He’s cementing himself as one of the best superspeedway racers in NASCAR with his win last weekend in Daytona. With two wins to his name in Atlanta, Hill will be looking for his third victory in five starts at the track.
John Hunter Nemechek +800
Making his second Xfinity start of the season, John Hunter Nemechek will look to build off a Top 5 finish last week at Daytona. Nemechek won the Atlanta Summer race last July, having to fend off from the Kaulig cars. He’ll look to take it to RCR and go for two straight Atlanta wins.
Parker Kligerman +1200
One driver who has been so close to winning at these Superspeedway style races, has been Parker Kligerman. In both Atlanta races last year, Kligerman earned Top 10 results and almost won the first Atlanta race, had it not been for Daniel Hemric spinning him coming to the finish. He’ll be in the hunt for the win on Saturday.
Jesse Love +1400
After winning the pole, winning the first stage, and leading the first 32 laps last weekend at Daytona, Jesse Love seemed like a favorite to win…Until he wrecked in the second stage, giving his car huge damage en route to a 20th place finish. With teammate Austin Hill showcasing his race winning abilities at this track, look for Love to sharpen his skillset this weekend.
Josh Williams +3500
In last year’s race, Josh Williams was told by NASCAR to park his car in the garage after continuing a caution. So he did…on the frontstretch. Looking for a better showing this season with Kaulig Racing, he’ll look to replicate the success that Daniel Hemric had last season, finishing 2nd in both races. Kaulig brings fast cars on the superspeedways, and they’ll have a fast one ready to go for Josh Williams.
