Lucas Oil 150 Betting Picks and Analysis
Chandler Smith
Smith is fourth in the playoff standings after the last event in Miami, where he finished tenth. He is one of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Championship predictions to win this event.
He has three wins this season, with eight top-fives and 15 top-tens, and has led for 440 laps this season on the NASCAR schedule. Smith has had a pretty solid season with wins on a variety of tracks.
He’s been one of the top drivers all season and is also the defending champion at the Lucas Oil 150, winning the 2021 race, but he was not in contention for the season championship. He’s definitely a driver to keep an eye on this NASCAR weekend at Phoenix Raceway.
Ty Majeski
Majeski is participating in his first full-time NASCAR Camping World Truck Series season. He has two wins this season that have come very recently.
He earned a spot in the Championship 4 with his win at Bristol in the Round of 8 and won at Homestead-Miami Speedway in the last event. He has ten top-fives this season, 15 top-tens, has led for 306 laps, and has an average finish of 9.6.
Majeski came from nowhere late in the season to now being one of the top drivers in the Championship 4. NASCAR odds have him as a threat to win the Lucas Oil 150 on Friday, and he is now a Camping World Truck Series Championship prediction to win his first-ever championship.
Zane Smith
Smith had a breakout year on the Truck Series in 2022. He has three wins so far this season and leads all drivers with 18 top-ten finishes, and has finished fifth or higher in 13 races this season. He has led for 415 laps and has an eighth-place average finish.
However, Smith won his three races early in the season, with his last victory coming in May. Although he hasn’t been as successful in the second half of the season, he was still consistent enough to rack up enough points during the playoffs to contend for this year’s title.
Smith missed out on winning last season’s championship by just two points to Ben Rhodes, but NASCAR picks have him as one of the Camping World Truck Series Championship predictions to not only win this event but take home the season championship.
