Consistency is key to winning the NASCAR Truck Series Drivers’ Championship. Which is why Regular Season Champion Corey Heim sits atop the standings, and Christian Eckes vaulted into second. Eckes won the three-wide dash to the checkered flag in Kansas, narrowly defeating rookie Taylor Gray and Matt DiBenedetto.
The Truck Series opens the Round of Eight, returning to beloved Bristol Motor Speedway for the second time this season. Insiders Betting Digest sorts the stats and trends to find the best UNOH 200 prediction to win on Thursday night.

Previous Results
There is one previous winner of the Fall race at Bristol to consider for our UNOH 200 prediction to win.
ThorSport Racing’s Ty Majeski won at Bristol in 2022 and currently sits sixth in the playoff points. Makeski is coming off an 18th-place finish in Kansas but has one race win, two top-two finishes, and four stage wins in the previous four races.
The Truck Series’ first stop at Bristol in 2023 was on a dirt surface and won by 2022 Cup Series Champion Joey Logano. Despite the Spring race being a less-than-representative sample, the top three Truck Series finishers were Majeski in second, Matt Crafton in fourth, and Grant Enfinger in fifth.

Ready, Set, Go! UNOH 200 Betting Preview
Christian Eckes
McAnally-Hilgemann Racing’s Christian Eckes is always on the periphery of making the cut for our Truck Series previews and NASCAR picks. Eckes won two races and had eight top-ten finishes in 16 regular-season races. But shined in the Round of Ten, finishing in the top three in each race, tying him for second in the Playoff standings with Grant Enfinger.
Eckes has five top-three and six top-ten finishes in the last eight races but finished 30th at Bristol’s Spring dirt race.

Corey Heim
Tricon Garage’s Corey Heim’s consistency is the best among the Truck Series drivers, having finished in the top five in six of the last ten races, with all ten being top-ten finishes. Heim only has two finishes outside the top ten in 2023, one of which was 15th-place at Bristol.
With two consecutive fourth-place finishes and nine top-five finishes this season, Heim is likely to open the Round of Eight with another top-five finish while competing for the win.
Zane Smith
Front Row Motorsports’ Zane Smith needs to start collecting playoff points or runs the risk of dropping further behind Heim. With the gap currently at eight points. Smith scored a second fifth-place finish in the playoffs at Kansas, his fifth top-five finish in the last seven races.
Smith finished 21st at Bristol’s dirt race earlier this season.
Carson Hocevar
Niece Motorsports’ Carson Hocevar is coming off a sixth-place finish at Kansas and is currently fourth in the Playoff standings. Hocevar has eight top-five and nine top-ten finishes in the previous eleven races and should add another top-five finish this weekend at Bristol.
Who Will Win UNOH 200?
- Insiders Betting Digest’s UNOH 200 prediction is for Ty Majeski to win at Bristol, with Hocevar, Eckes, Smith, and Heim completing the top five.
