The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series playoffs resume this weekend with the Baptist Health 200 from Homestead-Miami Speedway. Last year’s event was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and moved to the Daytona road course.
Kyle Busch is the defending champion, winning the event in 2020 after it was moved from the season finale to the third round of the Truck Series schedule. He also leads all drivers with three wins in the history of the race.
Playoffs
This is the sixth race of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Playoffs, with drivers needing to navigate 134 laps on the 1.5-mile oval. The race will be held on Saturday, October 22, at noon ET.
It’s also the final event in the Round of 8, with four drivers being eliminated from the playoffs after the completion of the race. The top four in the standings after this week will move on to the Championship 4 at Phoenix on November 4.
Baptist Health 200 Betting Picks and Analysis
Grant Enfinger
Grant Enfinger has performed better than all drivers in the field at Homestead-Miami Speedway and picked up his first win of the season in the opening race of the playoffs on July 29 at Indianapolis.
He then finished no lower than fifth in the next three races but had a disappointing 29th-place finish after being involved in an accident on lap 80 at Talladega.
One Top-five and Three Top-ten Finishes
Enfinger has five starts at this event, capturing the pole position once with one top-five and three top-ten finishes.
Although he finished 17th in his last start here in 2020, Enfinger remains one of the Baptist Health 200 betting picks for the final race in the playoff Round of 8.
Chandler Smith
Chandler Smith has fallen to second in the playoff standings after Ty Majeski won at Bristol last month to get an automatic berth in Championship 4. He currently holds a 12-point lead over Zane Smith, who has equaled his three wins this season.
Truck Series in 2022
Smith has consistently been a favorite on the Truck Series in 2022, with eight top-fives and 14 top-ten finishes.
However, after starting second at the last event in Talladega, he settled for 14-place. Smith is a top Baptist Health 200 betting pick to get his fourth win of the season this Saturday.
Zane Smith
This regular season champion, Zane Smith continues to be one of the most consistent drivers in the 2022 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
He leads all drivers with 17 top-ten finishes and has finished tenth or higher in ten of 13 races since his last win at Kansas Speedway.
Fourth Position
After finishing second at Bristol, he fell to 17th at last week’s race at Talladega after starting in fourth position.
Smith didn’t fare well in his 2020 appearance in this event after starting sixth, but only completed 19 laps before a crash ended his day.
However, as the most consistent driver on the Truck Series this season, he is one of the Baptist Health 200 betting picks to take home the victory this weekend.

Baptist Health 200 Betting Pick and Prediction
Enfinger has been consistent during these 2022 playoffs and is one of the most successful drivers on this circuit.
NASCAR picks had him as one of the favorites in the last event at Talladega before his unfortunate crash put him out of contention.
Enfinger is also eighth in the playoff standings going into this final race in the Round of 8 and needs a win to move on to the Championship 4 event at Phoenix.
With a win and four top-five finishes in his last five races, Enfinger is in a prime position to record his second win of the season and move closer to the 2022 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship.
