Truex enters this end of the week's race as the #3 seed in the Playoffs. He completed fourth at Darlington last end of the week, which was his most memorable Top 5 in the last five races and simply the third Top 5 in the last 11 races. In 30 profession begins at Richmond, Truex has two successes, seven Top 5s, 13 Top 10s, a 16.9 typical completion
핀벳88 and four DNFs. Those numbers won't blow anybody away and fail to measure up to different drivers in the field.
However, his new accomplishment at this track has the #19 vehicle recorded as the best bet for this Saturday night's occasion. In his last 10 races at Richmond, Truex has two successes, six Top 5s, and eight Top 10s. He's likewise driven laps in seven of those 10 occasions. Truex has five straight Top 5s incorporating a fifth in the spring Richmond race this year. He has three straight Top 3 outcomes in the Federated Auto Parts 400.
Truex will be a Top 10, Top 5 and Top 3 vehicle this Saturday.
Denny Hamlin (+650)
-
Top 5 (- 110)
-
Top 10 (- 330)
I had picked Hamlin and Larson to duke it out in Darlington, yet I went with Larson to push out Denny for the success. It nearly occurred as Kyle almost passed Denny in the last turn on the last lap. All things being equal, Hamlin held off Larson and took the success. This weekend, Hamlin is one of the wagering top picks and as it should be. He sits on top of the standings because of his success in spite of Larson having more focuses. However, he could wind up winning for a subsequent straight end of the week. Hamlin has three successes, 14 Top 5s, 18 Top 10s, and a 9.0 typical completion in 29 beginnings. His typical completion is second best among the field, however his three successes are the most among the field for this race. Hamlin has won the Federated Auto Parts 400 race multiple times. In his last 11 races at this track, Hamlin seven Top 5s and nine Top 10s. He's done sixteenth or better in each race over that range.
Denny was second in the spring Richmond race and ought to be a Top 5 vehicle by and by this end of the week.
Kyle Busch (+650)
Last weekend was not a decent race for Kyle Busch. He wound up crashing and completing 35th generally speaking. It was his subsequent straight accident and second consecutive completion of 34th or more awful. It's additionally his third accident in the keep going six races on the season. Far and away more terrible for the #18 vehicle is he's presently fourteenth in the standings dropping from the Top 5 toward the beginning of the Playoffs. Busch as of now sits 2 focuses beneath the end line. Luckily for "Boisterous," Richmond is a track where he's ruled at and I anticipate that Busch should return amazingly on Saturday night. In 31 beginnings at this track, Busch has six successes, 18 Top 5s, 24 Top 10s and a 6.8 typical completion. He drives the field in wins, Top 5s and normal completion. Over the last 11 Richmond races, Busch has two successes, five Top 5s, and 10 Top 10s. His most exceedingly terrible outcome was sixteenth. He last won the Federated Auto Parts 400 of every 2018 when he cleared both Richmond races.
I like for Busch to be a Top 10, Top 5 and undoubtedly a Top 3 vehicle that battles for the checkered banner.
