NASCAR Xfinity Series: Contender Boats 300 Betting Preview
Justin Allgaier
JR Motorsports’ Justin Allgaier is Chevrolet’s best chance to win a third consecutive race at Homestead. He Currently sits second in the Xfinity Series standings. He needs a combination of excellent performances and a little luck to bring himself closer to current Championship favorite Nemechek over the final three races of the season.
Allgaier bounced back from a disappointing 37th-place at Charlotte’s Roval, finishing sixth at Las Vegas. Giving him three top-ten finishes in the four playoff races, and earning four valuable stage wins. Allgaier will fight for the top five and should be in the mix for the win.
Cole Custer
Stewart-Haas Racing’s Cole Custer has a previous win at Homestead. But his recent run of performances has impressed: Custer has three top-five and four top-six finishes in the playoffs. Custer has eight top-seven finishes in the last eight races. This means he’ll be in the mix for a top-five finish at Homestead.
He entered -2.
He exits +15.
