There was a dramatic start to the round of 12 last weekend, as Ross Chastain was the unlikely winner of the Hollywood Casino 400. He will be hoping to build on that success to enhance his chances of a place in the next round of the playoffs this weekend.

William Byron currently leads the way in the Drivers’ Championship. Bryon finished second in the race last weekend, marking his first return to the podium since taking second in the FireKeepers Casino 400. However, Ryan Blaney and Christopher Bell are both within striking distance of the top of the standings.

YellaWood 500 Prediction

Another exciting race is set for this weekend, and a number of drivers have leading chances. However, we will be siding with Chase Elliott getting his title bid back on track by landing victory in the YellaWood 500 for the second time in three editions.

Chase Elliott
