The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series is headed to Kansas Speedway this coming weekend for the 2022 AdventHealth 400. Most eyes will certainly be on the favorites like Kyle Larson, Kyle Busch, and Denny Hamlin, but here are three drivers who might be being undervalued a bit. Check out three sleepers in the upcoming 2022 AdventHealth 400.
Reddick nearly scored his first win of the season last week, when he finished runner-up to Joey Logano at the 2022 Goodyear 400 in Darlington Raceway. That’s a nice way to announce his return to form after back-to-back sub-30 finishes at the 2022 Goodyear 400 and at the 2022 DuraMAX Drydene 400 presented by RelaDyne. Reddick is also pretty decent so far in his career when it comes to racing at Kansas Speedway. In five starts there, he’s collected a pair of top 10s, finishing ninth in his debut there (2019 Digital Ally 400) and seventh at the 2021 Buschy McBusch Race 400.
Briscoe seems to be on a cold stretch, though he recently had a 13th-place finish at the 2022 DuraMAX Drydene 400, which was followed by a 20th-place performance at the 2022 Goodyear 400. His experience racing at Kansas Speedway is so thin at the moment, that it’s not fair to project how well he would do this coming Sunday on that track. He finished 20th there in his debut (2021 Buschy McBusch Race 400) and then placed 19th in the 2021 Hollywood Casino 400. It’s also worth noting that Briscoe has already won a race this season, besting the field at the 2022 Ruoff Mortgage 500.
Through 11 starts this season, Almirola remains winless. That being said, he’s not been utterly bad, either. In fact he has collected a total of four top 10s, to date. He has also cracked the top 15 in three of his last five starts. He also has 7 top 10s in 20 career starts at Kansas Speedway.
