NASCAR Xfinity Series RAPTOR 250 Recent Results
Last year’s Raptor 250 winner, Ty Gibbs, is not listed to compete this season.
However, 2021 winner, JR Motorsports-Chevorlet’s Justin Allgaier, will be and will be considered among the Raptor 250 betting favorites heading into Atlanta. He will be many people’s Xfinity Series picks landing on Victory Lane.
If Kyle Busch were competing in all three NASCAR Series this weekend. He would be a favorite in all three races, having won in Atlanta in all three series. However, it doesn’t appear that Busch will be racing in the Truck or Xfinity Series in Atlanta in 2023.
A Deep Dive into the RAPTOR 250
JR Motorsports-Chevorlet’s Justin Allgaier has to be among your candidates to win and a Raptor 250 betting favorite when the NASCAR odds are listed online.
Allgaier had two straight third-place finishes to start the season. Followed those up with a second-place finish at Las Vegas. After winning the first two stages at Phoenix, Allgaier dropped down the field, finishing 36th.
Allgaier is currently third in the Xfinity Series standings, is a returning winner, and on a run of form, making him among the drivers strongly considered to win at Atlanta.
The Rise of Austin Hill
Xfinity Cup Series points leader Richard Childress Racing-Chevrolet’s Austin Hill will be among the betting favorites for the Raptor 250.
Hill has captured two pole positions and two race wins this season while posting a sixth and seventh-place finish in the other two Xfinity Series stops.
Hill is the front-runner and favorite to win the Xfinity Series Drivers’ Championship and is a driver you have to account for every weekend, as he has a real chance to win each weekend.
Chasing Victory
Kaulig Racing-Chevrolet’s Chandler Smith is having an excellent rookie season. After finishing 12th at Daytona, Smith has finished fourth in Fontana, third in Las Vegas – leading the most laps in the process, and fifth last weekend in Phoenix.
Smith could surpass his career-best fourth-place finish at Atlanta in the Truck Series and take home his first career Xfinity Series race win. We think Smith will break through and get an Xfinity Series race win this season; it’s a matter of when not if.
The last driver we’re spotlighting is Joe Gibbs Racing-Toyota’s John H. Nemechek, who is also racing in the Truck Series this weekend. Nemechek is second in the Drivers’ points standings and has a race win at Fontana, a second-place finish at the Daytona 300, and back-to-back sixth-place finishes.
John H. Nemechek is one of five drivers within range of Hill early this season, will be in the playoffs, and could win again in Atlanta.
