Best Bets for Xfinity |
Justin Allgaier +280
There isn’t a driver with more consistency at Dover than Justin Allgaier. Since his return to the Xfinity Series in 2016, Allgaier has finished inside the Top 5 in 11 of his 13 starts at Dover. He’s also recorded two wins in 2018 and 2020. After an early exit at Talladega, Allgaier will be looking to righten the ship this Saturday.
Chandler Smith +350
The points leader may not have the best stats, but Chandler Smith overall seems to have the best car week in and week out. His best finish at Dover was 13th in last year’s Spring race, but he’s been a factor on the short tracks this season. He’s won at Phoenix and Richmond, also finishing 3rd at Martinsville. The #81 will be looking to tame the Monster in Delaware this Saturday.
Cole Custer +550
The defending Xfinity Series Champion is still winless on the year after Talladega, but it shouldn’t be long before Cole Custer finds himself in victory lane again. He’s won at Dover before in 2019, and has finished inside the Top 10 in six of his seven starts at the Monster Mile. Custer will look to keep his consistency rolling into the weekend.
Ryan Truex +600
Last year was a historic weekend in Dover for Ryan Truex and his brother Martin Truex Jr, as the brothers swept the weekend in both Xfinity and Cup Series races. Ryan has taken a liking to Dover even before last year, where he finished 8th and 2nd in his two other starts with JGR back in 2011 and 2012. Nonetheless, he’ll look to go back-to-back at the Monster Mile this weekend.
AJ Allmendinger +1600
In what’s been a lackluster season for AJ Allmendinger, this trip to Dover should be one where he should contend for the win. He finished 6th in 2021 and 4th in 2022 at the one mile oval, where he’s been able to keep his car clean enough to stay in the running. Still, without a win on the season, AJ will look to conquer the Monster this Saturday.
