Best Bets for Trucks |
Austin Hill +285 | Top 5 -250
Austin Hill enters this weekend as the favorite to win, being widely known as the best superspeedway racer for the Xfinity Series. He’s won the pole in his last three starts at Talladega, but the only downside is that he has yet to record a Top 10 finish at the track. His best finish was 14th back in the Spring, so Hill will look to best that finish with a win this Saturday.
Jesse Love +650 | Top 5 -120
Jesse Love won his first career Xfinity race at Talladega back in the Spring. It’s clear that he has speed as well, the rookie has earned three poles on the season, all of which coming at superspeedeay tracks at Daytona and sweeping both Atlanta poles. He enters only +3 points to the cutoff heading into the weekend, where a win would put his mind at ease for next weekend.
Parker Kligerman +1400 | Top 5 +180
Had it not been for a late crash, Parker Kligerman could’ve wound up in victory lane in the Spring. Kligerman finished 3rd at the Daytona Summer race and 2nd in the Atlanta Fall race, and has yet to DNF since Charlotte in May. He’ll be making a run at winning a championship one final time, and could lock his way into the next round of the Playoffs with a win this weekend.
Ryan Sieg +2500 | Top 5 +260
Ryan Sieg has been a contender when it comes to superspeedway racing at Daytona or Talladega. Sieg has had a better chance winning at Talladega, with flat tires plaguing his last two races when he’s had race winning speed. SIeg isn’t in the Playoffs, so he’s going out to just win, something he’ll be on a mission to do this Saturday.
Jeb Burton +2800 | Top 5 +360
Jeb Burton has finished no worse than 17th in his eight starts at Talladega. He has two wins to his name in 2021 and 2023. His only Top 10 finish of the season came at Talladega in the Spring, where he finished 9th. Just like Ryan Sieg, Burton missed thre Playoffs and would love nothing more than to play spoiler by stealing a win from one of the Playoff drivers at Talladega.
Brennan Poole +7000 | Top 5 +900
Brennan Poole was hundreds of feet away from pulling off an upset win in the Spring, before being passed by soon to be race winner Jesse Love and falling back to 5th. In his five Xfinity starts at Talladega, Poole has finished in the Top 5 three times, all of which coming with different teams. He finish 3rd in 2016 for Chip Ganassi Racing, 5th in 2023 for JD Motorsports, and 5th in. this Spring with Alpha Prime Racing. Do you believe in miracles?
