William Blackwell | Ryan Blaney

Blaney has yet to win a race this season, but he’s definitely hard to ignore as he already has four top 5s and six top 10s. He has also cracked the top 5 in each of his last four starts. He’s also won twice already at Talladega Superspeedway, going back to back in the 2019 1000Bulbs.com 500 and the 2020 GEICO 500.

Here’s what TopBet’s Ryan Simpson said about Austin Cindric  in our preview of the 2022 GEICO 500 race:

“Also driving under the Penske banner, Cindric is lacking in experience at Talladega Superspeedway, as he has not started an NASCAR Cup Series race there, but he’s been hot enough this season to get a look as a favorite. Cindric has two top 10s in seven starts this year. He locked up a spot in the playoffs with a win at Daytona.”
