Favorites
A.J. Allmendinger (Odds +180)
A.J. Allmendinger is our early favorite. This driver is the current championship leader with 2134 points. In addition, he just won the Sparks 300 race at Talladega last weekend. Moreover, in the last ten races he has not dropped out of the top 10, which is extremely difficult and a remarkable feat.
Ty Gibbs (Odds +350)
Ty Gibbs is in third place in the championship and has had favorable results so far this season. His lowest result was in the Food City 300, in Bristol, where he finished 36th. However, in the last 5 races, he achieved two top 10s and two top 5s. For all these reasons, he is a strong favorite for winning the Drive for the Cure 250.
Austin Hill (Odds +800)
On the other hand, Austin Hill has won two races this year, most recently in Atlanta. Since the playoffs began, he was 2nd in Texas and 14th at Talladega. He is 4th with nine positions in the top 5. Thus, he is a strong contender for this weekend’s Drive for the Cure 250 race.
Sleeper Picks
Noah Gragson (Odds +1000)
Our first sleeper pick is Noah Gragson. This driver has had a remarkable performance this year in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. He was coming off a streak of four consecutive wins from Darlington to Texas. This streak was snatched away by Allmendinger, and he finished tenth in the Sparks 300. However, his dominance is notorious.
Sheldon Creed (Odds +1200)
Sheldon Creed is on the outside of the playoff field of 12, but in recent races he has had favorable results, such as places 2, 11, 7 and 12. His lowest recent result was in Bristol, where he placed 37th. Despite the above, the betting puts him as one of the drivers likely to shine in the next race for his speed, aggressiveness, and competitiveness.
Dark Horse
Justin Allgaier (Odds +1200)
Justin Allgaier has been champion three times this season and prior to the playoffs reached six top 10 and top 5 positions. Although he did that well, since the playoffs began, he has had positions 29 and 25. Maybe it’s a matter of readjusting and getting back to the level he was at.

JefeBet Prediction
As it is, the driver with the best chance to win Saturday’s Drive for the Cure 250 is Noah Gragson.

This will surely give him the strength and momentum needed to win and take the lead in the championship.
