Love:
- Ryan Newman (has won this race before. Veteran. Ran well in the duels. Has speed. big win $. if you're scared, bet top 3)
- Erik Jones (won clash. momentum. contract year. Looking to make a statement with Gibbs. Good restrictor plate racer. Take in at top3/5 bet if looking for value)
- Joey Logano (ls a favorite, only favorite capable of winning. Fastest in final)
Like:
- Bubba Wallace (finished 2nd last year. Lots of value. Not fast in practice, but holding back for race)
- Michael McDowell (sneaky fast at restrictor plate races. Good speed in final practice. Good value)
Avoid:
Chevy's. Don't draft well. Byron won duel, but only because 2-5 didn't want to totaled a car. They are lacking draft speed. If it's not a wreck fest, they will be choking on the fumes of the Toyotas and Fords.
