Top Sleeper Picks for the 2022 Ambetter 301
???? The choice is all yours!
Pick who you want to ride with during Sunday's YouTube in-car camera presented by @SunocoRacing ????.
Bell holds 16th place in the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series standings. A win for him means a boost in confidence and a sigh of relief for the 27-year-old driver. He racked up 523 points so far and looks to hit his season-best finish on Sunday after finishing 19th at the 2022 Quaker State 400 last Sunday.His record features two top ten finishes in his last five starts, which adds value to his betting odds. Considering the fact that he finished second in his previous appearance at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the 2021 Foxwoods Resort Casino 301, we anticipate better performance from him. Bell seems comfortable on the track, and the Joe Gibbs racing driver could work his way to another solid finish this time.
Chase Briscoe
2022 Ambetter 301 Odds: +2200
Briscoe gets the consideration just because of his performance in the first Cup race at Phoenix. The Stewart-Haas Racing team seems to be on a positive trend as we approach the second half of the calendar. If he maintains the same set-up or improves on certain qualities that fit the track, we are likely to see him fight with the frontrunners.In the last ten races, Briscoe secured four finishes within the top 15. He finished fourth in the Charlotte Motor Speedway with an incredible drive from the 15th position. He has an average start of 11.8 and an average finish of 17.9. Briscoe currently ranks 18th in the driver standings with 449 points to his name, which makes him good enough for a top sleeper pick.
Aric Almirola
2022 Ambetter 301 Odds: +2500
Driving the No. 10 Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing, Aric Almirola, is still hoping to get his first win of the season. Since the beginning of the campaign, he came close to a first-place finish several times. Almirola worked his way to two top-five finishes this season. His current pace looks like he’s about to secure his first season victory anytime soon. The 38-year-old also finished inside the top ten in his first three appearances, including a fifth-place finish at the 2022 Daytona 500.As it stands, Almirola has enough momentum to grab his first win on Sunday as he came out strong over his last few races at the circuit. He has the confidence around the New Hampshire Motor Speedway that makes him a valuable sleeper pick. More than that, Almirola won the last time he started at the track, topping the field at the 2021 Foxwoods Resort Casino 301..*All odds stated are subject to change without prior notice.
