There has already been an unpredictable start to the NASCAR season. Ryan Blaney currently leads the standings after finishing fourth in the Ambetter Health 400 last weekend. Christopher Bell was the winner of the race last weekend, and the American will hold leading claims once again this weekend.
William Byron started the season in excellent form with a victory in the Daytona 500. However, he would have likely been disappointed with his performance last weekend after finishing 27th.
Kyle Larson showed his quality to finish third in the race last weekend, while other solid contenders from the Ambetter Health 400 include fellow top-five finishers Ricky Stenhouse Jr and Carson Hocevar.
EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix Picks
Cases can be made for a number of drivers this weekend. However, previous winning experience at the track could count for a lot. Therefore, the preference is for William Byron to land a success for the second straight year.
