Hard as it may seem to believe, once we reach the weekend, the calendar will have flipped over into the month of June.
When you consider that the NASCAR playoffs begin in the early part of September, you begin to see that we are drawing ever closer to the end of the regular season.

My Analysis
That said, there are still plenty of races to come and time for things to change in the driver standings. The first opportunity for that to happen in the Xfinity Series comes this weekend at the Portland International Raceway with the running of the Pacific Automation 147. As you may have already guessed by the track name, this will be on a road course, so a very different challenge than usual. Let’s take a closer look at some of the drivers we expect to be in the hunt this Saturday at 4:30 PM EST.
^Justin Allgaier Xfinity Pick +280
We have talked about Allgaier a lot over the years, and it is generally always the same conversation. In terms of wagering on him in individual races, he tends to always be a good bet, as he always seems to be up among the leaders. That said, he is not a safe bet when talking about winning a championship. Allgaier has come close on several occasions, but he has never been able to translate those close calls into a championship season. He is up among the leaders again this year, sitting in 4th overall, and this looks like a good race to play him in. He has finished in the top 5 in each of the last 2 seasons.
^Cole Custer Xfinity Pick +900
After spending time in the Cup Series, Custer returned to the Xfinity Series last year with a lot of expectations placed on his shoulders. He got off to a slow start but eventually moved up a gear and ended the season as the champion. He has made a very similar start to the 2024 season, and while he is still looking for his first win, Custer has picked up enough points to be sitting in 3rd overall. His first win of the 2023 season came on this track, so he might be a good bet for a repeat.
^Sheldon Creed Xfinity Pick +910
After a lot of success, including a championship, in the Truck Series, it still feels as though Creed is adapting to life at this level. This is his 3rd full season with the Xfinity Series, but he is still looking for his first win. He has been close to winning this season, landing in the top 5 in 4 races to this point. He finished 7th in this race last season, and I have a feeling he might do a little better this time around. While I wouldn’t play him to win, a top 5 finish seems okay.
^Austin Hill Xfinity Pick +1400
Last season saw Hill get out to ana amazing start before he faded away over the course of the season, finishing 5th overall. He is following a similar pattern this time around. He won the first 2 races of the season, but he has yet to pick up another one, although he has been in the top 5 no less than 4 times over the past few weeks. I think top 5 seems like another good bet this weekend, as that is where he finished in each of his last 2 runs in this race.
