Dead on Tools 200

Matt Crafton

3 time series champion Matt Crafton has a lot on his side being so experienced. He knows when to push and when to hold back and  Darlington is the place where you have to race the racetrack. Crafton hasn't won since Kansas 2020 and it's the only win that's the only one he had since 2017. Consistency has not left his side so he could easily snatch a win up tonight.

Xfinity

Chase Elliott

JR Motorsports is gonna use an All-Star car for Hendrick Motorsports drivers to get extra laps to prepare for Sundays. The 2014 Xfinity champion has had success at Darlington by winning the Xfinity race in 2014 so who knows he could go boost some momentum Saturday

Goodyear 400

Martin Truex Jr

Darlington has been a strong track for Truex over the last few seasons. 2 of the last 3 races there he's lead the most laps and in 7 of the last 15 Darlington races he's lead at least 25 laps so he's always in the mix at the track too tough to tame. So far he has seen two of his teammates win races this year, the 11 of Denny Hamlin and the 18 of 2 time champion Kyle Busch so it'd only be fitting that the 19 will join his other teammates in the win column numerically.

Kevin Harvick

It's tough to believe that he hasn't won a race since 2020, but Darlington can be a place that the closer can sneak up on the field. A 2 time Southern 500 winner and 3 wins at Darlington overall have a strong chance for Harvick to be a winner 9nce again.

Kyle Busch

The 2 time champion is under the radar. Currently 4th in the points heading the charge for JGR could be on the verge of domination. 3 top 5s and 8 top 10s including his win at Bristol dirt has shown that Toyota is not as far behind as some may think. He's won the 2008 Southern 500 so he can get it done on worn out racetracks.

Miami grand prix 🇺🇸

Sergio Perez🇲🇽

Now in a car designed for him Perez can now show more of the talent he has. With 2 podiums already he is 3rd in points only 5 behind his 2nd place world champion teammate Max Verstappen🇳🇱. He easily could've won Saudi Arabia🇸🇦 had it not been for an unlucky safety car so he'll be on the charge in the inaugural Miami grand prix.
