NASCAR Xfinity Championship Predictions

Justin Allgaier Seeks Elusive NASCAR Xfinity Title After 13 Misses

It’s hard to bet against a driver who wants to win a NASCAR Xfinity Series Championship as much as Justin Allgaier does.

Then again, maybe Allgaier wants the title too much. For 13 straight seasons, Allgaier has finished seventh or better in the final Xfinity Series standings.

In 2020 and 2023, he was series runner-up. Last year, after an early spin, he was third in the Championship Race behind winner Cole Custer and second-place Sheldon Creed, who wasn’t in the running for the title.

Allgaier, a 38-year-old from Riverton, Illinois, has a stellar record at one-mile Phoenix Raceway—two wins, 10 top fives and 18 top 10s in 28 starts.

But the driver of the No. 7 JR Motorsports Chevrolet has been beset by ill fortune this season, starting with a blown tire that cost him a victory at Phoenix earlier this spring.

We’re going to steer clear of the sentimental favorite at +150 via bet365 Sportsbook this Saturday. The same goes for 42-year-old AJ Allmendinger, who’s a tempting bet at +700 (bet365).

We just don’t think Allmendinger’s Kaulig Racing equipment is as consistently strong as that of his competitors for the title.

Championship 4 Newbie Austin Hill Has Questionable Phoenix Resume

If Austin Hill hopes to bring a NASCAR Xfinity Series title to Richard Childress Racing in his first attempt, he’ll have to improve his performance at Phoenix Raceway.

One of four drivers eligible for the championship in Saturday’s season finale, Hill has made progress in that direction.

All four of his top 10s at Phoenix have come in succession, ending with a fourth-place result in this year’s spring race.

Though it has been done, it’s difficult to win a NASCAR championship in the first attempt, and that’s why we’re looking elsewhere for our champion, despite Hill’s favorable odds at +450 via bet365.

Cole Custer Has Extra Motivation in Bid for Second Straight Title

Defending NASCAR Xfinity Series champion Cole Custer is saying good-bye to NASCAR’s junior series at season’s end.

He’s also saying good-bye to Stewart-Haas Racing, which will close its doors after Championship 4 weekend at Phoenix Raceway.

Custer will return to the NASCAR Cup Series with the reconstituted Haas Factory Team next year, but before he does, he wants to become the next back-to-back Xfinity title winner, joining the likes of Dale Earnhardt Jr., Martin Truex Jr., Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Tyler Reddick.

“It definitely means a ton if we can try to finish this thing out strong,” Custer said. “It would mean so much to everybody in that building, but at the same time, I think it would be so cool to see (co-owners) Tony (Stewart’s) and Gene (Haas’) names go out on top.”

Custer won last year’s championship race, and we think he’ll repeat the feat this season at +145 via bet365.
