INCREDIBLE is the word that comes to mind when thinking about last weekendβs Coca Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. We witnessed the pole-sitter Denny Hamlin get his second win of the season in a somewhat dramatic fashion. There has been some talk surrounding NASCAR about whether a 600-mile race is a bit too long. However, anyone who watched that race this past weekend would emphatically say that talk is nonsense. This week NASCAR heads to the World-Wide Technology Raceway just outside of Saint Louis for the Enjoy Illinois 300. This being the inaugural cup series race at the 1.3-mile track that looks like the twin of Darlington without the banking, I look for veteran drivers to make an impact this week. Do not anticipate the speeds that we saw at Darlington as this track is flatter which will induce a much more technical driving style. In my opinion, this track is tailor-made for a Kyle Larson win. On a side note, it has been reported by World Wide Technology Raceway that every seat, every box, and every campsite has been sold out for this weekend’s race, So I expect the just under 60,000 people that are in attendance will get to see an exciting show. Do not forget to join Steve Risley, Joe Spilman, and Ryan Peters on The Grueling Truth Nascar Show Wednesdays at 7 pm as they recap all the action from the previous week and give you their top picks for the next race.

Kyle Busch has been driving well as of late and finished second in last weekendβs Coca Cola 600. Kyle Busch is also one of only a handful of drivers that has experience driving at the World-Wide Technology Raceway and won there in the 2010 Xfinity Series Race. I look for Buschβs recent momentum and his past experience at the track to set him up for a good finish this weekend. Busch is currently + 900 to win, +250 to finish in the top 3, and + 110 to finish in the top 5. Check out the top sportsbook sites for betting on NASCAR!
Martin Truex Jr. Is another veteran driver that has a past win at this track, although that win came almost 20 years ago now in 2004 I still look for Truex to run a strong race this weekend. If he can again this week avoid the rookie mistakes that have hindered him lately, I think this track and the racing dynamics should set him up for him to possibly be in a position to take home his first checkered flag of the 2022 season. Truex is +900 to win, +250 to finish in the top 3, and +110 to finish in the top 5.
Kyle Larson is the odds makersβ favorite to win the race this week for the Enjoy Illinois 300, and this race track is conducive to Kyle Larsonβs driving style. As of late Kyle Larson has been running some great races but has had problems throughout the last couple of races that has kept him from taking his second checkered flag of the season. Last week during the Coca Cola 600 Kyle Larson ran arguably one of the greatest races in NASCAR history coming from the back no less than five times to put himself in contention to win at the end of the race. if Larsonβs string of bad luck doesn’t strike again this weekend, I look for him to be in contention at the end of the race. Larson is +800 to win, +200 to finish in the Top 3, and +100 to finish in the top 5.
Denny Hamlin has been on an absolute tear as of late, winning the Coca-Cola 600 last weekend. I look for Denny Hamlin to continue turning in strong performances for the rest of the season. JGR has figured out how to dial in these next Gen cars and all their cars have had some good speed as of late.Β I would not be surprised if Denny Hamlin is in contention at the end of this race to take home his third checkered flag of the season. Hamlin is +900 to win, +250 to finish in the top 3, and +110 to finish in the top 5.
Ross Chastain and Trackhouse racing have proven themselves as a legitimate contender in NASCARβs top circuit this year. Chastain also has experience at the World-Wide Technology Raceway winning the Truck Series race in 2019. With Chastainβs experience at the track and his proven ability to win races this year I wouldn’t be surprised if Chastain takes home his third checkered flag of the 2022 season. Chastain is +1000 to win, +280 to finish in the top 3, and +125 to finish in the top 5.
