NASCAR Truck Series: Buckle Up South Carolina 200 Betting Preview
Whenever a Cup Series regular chooses to participate in the Xfinity or Truck series, they often jump to the top of the list of betting favorites. This weekend’s Buckle Up South Carolina 200 odds are demonstrative of that.
Hendrick Racing’s William Byron makes his second start in the Truck Series this season driving for Kyle Busch Motorsports. Byron is the betting favorite on NASCAR Truck Series odds and finished third at Bristol in the Truck Series earlier this season.
Byron is joined by current Cup Series Drivers’ Championship leader Ross Chastain, who is driving in all three races at Darlington. Chastain is making his fourth Truck Series appearance this season, with two fifth-place finishes.
23XI Racing-Toyota’s Bubba Wallace is making his first start on the Truck series in 2023 and is among the betting favorites to win at Darlington.
