Alsco Uniforms 302 Betting Picks and Analysis
Noah Gragson
Noah Gragson finished third at last week’s race at Charlotte behind A.J. Allmendinger and Ty Gibbs but moved into first place in the playoff standings, 12 points ahead of Allmendinger with 3056 points. He has seven wins in 2022 and leads all drivers this season with 17 top-fives and 22 top-ten finishes.
Gragson also finished second at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway spring event earlier this season. He came all the way from starting in the 37th position to reaching the podium in an impressive performance last Saturday.
As one of the most consistent drivers in the NASCAR Xfinity Series this season, he earned an automatic berth in the Round of 8 this week. He is one of the top Alsco Uniforms 302 betting picks to win this weekend in this next big race for the championship.
A.J. Allmendinger
Allmendinger is the regular season NASCAR Xfinity Series champion and is second behind Gragson for the lead in the standings for the playoffs with 3044 points. He dominated again last weekend, getting a vital win at the Drive for the Cure 250 at Charlotte Motor Speedway last Saturday, which was his second straight win.
His victory at Talladega two weeks ago earned him an automatic berth in the playoff Round of 8. Allmendinger won the spring event at Las Vegas in 2021 and is again one of the Alsco Uniforms 302 betting picks to win the checkered flag in the first event of this playoff round.
Ty Gibbs
Gibbs is again one of the favorite picks as the NASCAR schedule moves to Las Vegas for its second event this season. He is still third in the NASCAR Xfinity Series playoff race with 3038 points, five points ahead of Justin Allgaier.
Gibbs finished second last weekend at Charlotte and led for 24 laps before Allmendinger eventually took over to get the win. He is second with five wins, 17 top-five, and 19 top-ten finishes in 2022. In the NASCAR odds, Gibbs is always among the top choices.
He was also the winner of the spring event at Las Vegas this season back in March, just ahead of Gragson. As a result, he’s again one of the Alsco Uniforms 302 betting picks to win his second straight race at this track in 2022.
