Alex Bowman

  • 2022 Enjoy Illinois 300 Odds: +1800

For the third straight week and the sixth time in seven starts, Alex Bowman managed to finish inside the top 10 of a race thanks to his 10th-place effort this past weekend at Charlotte. The 29-year-old Hendrik Motorsports upstart is now tied for the second-most top 10s for the season, which includes a win at Vegas in early March. It’s hard to find someone who’s as consistent as Bowman of late outside of the usual suspects, making him more than a viable sleeper pick to win this week.

Kevin Harvick

  • 2022 Enjoy Illinois 300 Odds: +2000

We can’t help but bring back Kevin Harvick as a solid sleeper candidate in consecutive weeks, especially with his third-place showing at Charlotte this past week. It’s just the third time this season that the former Cup Series champion cracked the top five in a race this season, but he does have a slight edge in this week’s race in Madison experience-wise. Since 2019, Harvick leads all active drivers with two wins, 16 top-10 finishes, and a 5.2 average finish on intermediate tracks such as the one in the WTT Raceway.

Chase Briscoe

  • 2022 Enjoy Illinois 300 Odds: +2500

After securing his first-ever Cup Series win at Phoenix earlier this year, 27-year-old Chase Briscoe has since reverted back to producing middling performances on the course. But after last week’s fourth-place showing at Charlotte, perhaps the defending Rookie of the Year is in line for another victory. Briscoe’s three top-five finishes for the season should be more than enough reasons to believe that the Mitchell, Indiana native has huge upside as a dark horse pick to beat out the rest of the field this week in Illinois.
