Kyle Larson appears to be the obvious place to start this weekend, as the former NASCAR champion landed a dominant success in this race 12 months ago. Larson’s championship push was ignited last weekend, as he landed victory in the South Point 400 to move to the top of the Drivers’ Championship.
However, his advantage is a slender one, as he sits just seven points clear of William Byron. The challenger has already landed victory in the playoffs, with his most recent success coming in the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 400. It promises to be a fascinating race this weekend, as all but Chris Buescher of the top eight finished in the top ten places at the South Point 400 last weekend.
4EVER 400 Prediction
It will be a pulsating race this weekend, but we will be siding with Kyle Larson to continue his push for a second Drivers’ Championship. He has been ultra-consistent throughout the playoffs, and a second straight win in the 4EVER 400 could be a solid chance.
