While the battle for playoff spots in the Cup and Xfinity Series is set to go down to the wire, things are already heating up in the Truck Series, which is shorter than the other two. The regular season is done, which means that the field has been cut to 10 drivers and the playoffs are about to begin in the Cup Series. This weekend in Indianapolis is the first of 3 races in the Round of 10, with 2 another 2 drivers set to be cut when those races are over. We are jumping ahead of ourselves, though, so let’s stick with the TSport 200, which is set to go on Friday night at 9 PM EST. Which drivers are likely to be in the hunt for this race, especially with regular season winner Corey Heim out with illness? Let’s take a look to consider in your NASCAR Truck betting odds.

Zane Smith
NASCAR Truck Series Pick: +300
While it’s disappointing that Heim is not going to be able to race this weekend, the other drivers will be looking at this as an opportunity to move forward. The playoffs are simple in that if you win, you are automatically into the next round, and while the drivers at the top of the standings are likely safe from the first cut, you can never feel fully safe. The issue for Smith is that it has been a minute since he last took a checkered flag. In fact, he has now gone 11 races without a win, although he was on the podium in 5 of those races. He finished 3rd on this road course last year, so look for him to be among the leaders on Friday.

Carson Hocevar
NASCAR Truck Series Pick: +400
This is a driver we haven’t really spoken about a great deal this season, yet he heads into the playoffs sitting in 3rd in the driver standings. Hocevar has 3 wins this season, including a victory in the previous race. Oddly enough, he has not been on the podium outside of those 3 wins, so it seems to be very much win or bust for Hocevar. He did not have a particularly great run on this track in 2022, but I think we can toss that out, as this is very much a breakout season, with Hocevar going 2 full seasons winless before getting his first this year.

Christian Eckes
NASCAR Truck Series Pick: +750
The one thing that is standing out this season is that no one driver is proving to be totally dominant. In fact, you have no less than 5 drivers who have all picked up multiple wins this season, with 3 being the most victories by a single driver. Eckes is in the group that has 2 wins on the season, but he will feel that he is long overdue for another checkered flag. He was another one that did not excel on this track in 2022, but I would not be surprised to see him finish in the top 5 on Friday.

Grant Enfinger
NASCAR Truck Series Pick: +750
Enfinger is another one of the drivers in the 2-win group heading into the opening round of the playoffs, but he may well have the edge over the others this weekend. While he failed to crack the tip 10 in the 2 previous road races this season, he did take the checkered flag on the Indianapolis Road Course in 2022. If I was being forced to make a pick for this race, my money would probably be in Enfinger to win it.
