The Daytona Beach News-Journal

Expert | Value Picks
Zach Dean | Daniel Suarez, Austin Cindric, Alex Bowman

Zach Dean of The Daytona Beach News-Journal did not make a definitely pick to win the 2022 Toyota Owners 400, but named three drivers with some value appeal, and they are Daniel Suarez, Austin Cindric, and Alex Bowman. All three drivers are currently inside the playoff picture, with Bowman leading the field with 183 points with a win and two top 5s. Cindric also has a win already this season, while Suarez is on the edge with 150 points in the 16th spot.

Action Network

Expert | Head-to-head Pick
PJ Walsh | Ross Chastain over Tyler Reddick

PJ Walsh of The Action Network, meanwhile, wrote about the specific matchup between Ross Chastain and Tyler Reddick, picking the former to win this head-to-head. It’s a bit of an intriguing take, considering that Reddick’s career average finish at Richmond Raceway (15.33) is higher than Chastain’s (24.83).

William Blackwell

Expert | Pick
William Blackwell | Chase Briscoe

In his YouTube channel, William Blackwell is picking Chase Briscoe to snatch the checkered flag this weekend. The Stewart-Haas Racing has already booked his ticket to the playoffs with a win in Phoenix earlier this month.

Expert | Pick
TopBet News Editor | Ryan Simpson | Martin Truex Jr.

Here’s what TopBet’s Ryan Simpson said about Martin Truex Jr. in our preview of the 2022 Toyota Owners 400 race:

“If there’s a driver that can’t be missed in discussions about ANY race at Richmond Raceway, it’s got to be Truex. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver is coming off back-to-back top 10s at the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 and at the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix. But more importantly, Truex has three wins in his last five appearances at Richmond Raceway. The other two starts during that stretch were fifth place at the 2021 Toyota Owners 400 and a runner-up at the 2020 Federated Auto Parts 400.”
