Best Bets for Xfinity |
Kyle Busch +300
Kyle Busch enters this weekend as the favorite, in his first Xfinity start of the season for RCR. He made four starts last year for Kaulig Racing, where his best finish was fourth at Las Vegas. He’s won a staggering NINE Xfinity races at Charlotte, his last win coming in 2020. Safe to say he’ll be the one everyone’s chasing after.
Ty Gibbs +350
A late change to the entry list from Joe Gibbs Racing on Thursday sees Ty Gibbs in the #20 instead of Aric Almirola. Gibbs finished 24th at COTA in his only Xfinity start of the year. He’s finished inside the Top 5 in each of his three races at the 1.5 mile oval, with a win in 2021. He’ll be at the top of the running order this weekend.
Justin Allgaier +500
Darlington was the sight of Justin Allgaier’s first Xfinity win of the season, after coming close many times. He won last year’s race at Charlotte in his 21st Xfinity start at the track. Allgaier will look to keep the momentum rolling for JR Motorsports this weekend.
Cole Custer +750
Still on the search for his first win of 2024, Cole Custer heads into the weekend trying to erase that goose egg in the win column. He finished third in last year’s race after not racing at the track in three years. Custer will be in the Top 5, but it’s the win he’ll be hungry after.
Chandler Smith +1000
Chandler Smith started the year fiishing inside the Top 10 in the first seven races of the season, but has finished outside the Top 10 in three of his last four races. He finished 13th in his only start at Charlotte last year, however he finished third at Las Vegas earlier in the year. Smith will have a bounce back performance this Saturday.
Austin Hill +1100
Austin Hill has taken over as the points leader heading into Charlotte. He finished fourth in last year’s race, the best of his career at the 1.5 mile oval. He’ll have some help with Kyle Busch joining the field this weekend, should make it interesting for Hill.
