NASCAR Odds: North Carolina Education Lottery 200 Prediction

While the Cup Series drivers had a bit of a fun weekend with the All-Star Race last week, the Truck Series drivers were operating business as usual.

The end result of last weekend’s action with the trucks was that the standings at the top got a little bit tighter, which is saying something when you consider how close things were prior to the running of the last race.

Truck Series Favorites
2. Corey Heim	422 points
3. Ty Majeski	362 points
4. Nick Sanchez	360 points

My Analysis

This weekend, the action shifts to North Carolina, where a change at the top could well be how things play out, depending entirely on who wins the next race up. We are still awaiting the release of the odds for the 2024 North Carolina Educations Lottery 200. Even without those Truck Race odds, we still have an idea of who will be in the mix, so let’s take a look.

Corey Heim

There were definitely signs that this might be a big season for Heim, as he made it to the Championship Round of the Truck Series last season before having to settle for 4th overall. He made it clear that he was ready to go this season, opening things up with 3 straight podium finishes. He has been even better since then, winning 3 of the last 6 races to get to within 2 points of Eckes at the top of the driver standings. Another win this weekend and he will leapfrog the leader, and you have to like his chances. Heim finished 2nd in this race last season.

Ty Majeski

He is looking for his first win of the season, but when you consider that he has managed just 1 win per year in each of the last 2 seasons, that might not be so surprising. A top 10 might be the best way to wager on Majeski in Charlotte.

Nick Sanchez

Sanchez is on a run of 5 straight races finishing in the top 10, so expect him to be knocking on the door again this weekend. Sanchez finished 9th in Charlotte last season, but I could see him maybe cracking the top 5 this time around.
