The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series is headed to Austin, Texas this coming weekend for the 2022 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix. Most eyes will certainly be on the favorites like Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott, and Martin Truex Jr., but here are three drivers who might be being undervalued a bit. Check out three sleepers in the upcoming 2022 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix.
It’s not always that Keselowski finds himself as a sleeper for a race, but his current odds suggest that he is for the upcoming 2022 EchoPark Automatic Grand Prix. It’s not that surprising, though, considering that Keselowski is only 0 of 31 in his career in road course races. Nevertheless, Keselowski has posted seven top 10s and 10 top 10s in those starts on a road course. In his most recent race, Keselowski finished 12th at the 2022 Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. At the 2021 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix, Keselowski was 19th overall.
Just like Keselowski, Dillon is winless on a road course so far in his NASCAR Cup Series career. He is 0 of 22 overall, though he’s got 11 top 20s. That includes his 12th-place performance at the 2021 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix. Dillon also finished 15th in his last road course start, which was at the 2021 Bank of America ROVAL 400.
Currently ranked 28th in the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series with 76 points, Custer will look to bounce back from a 34th-place finish at the 2022 Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. He has two top 15s this season, though. He finished 11th in California and 16th in Phoenix. Custer is 0 of 9 in road course races, but has only finished worse than 25th only once in those starts.
