The 2022 NASCAR Cup Series is headed to Sonoma, California this coming weekend for the 2022 Toyota/Save Mart 350 race. Most eyes will certainly be on the favorites like Martin Truex Jr., Chase Elliott, and Kyle Larson, but here are three drivers who might be being undervalued a bit. Check out three sleepers in the upcoming 2022 Toyota / Save Mart 350.
Bowman has already copped a win this season, but he’s not stopping there. He’s been decent over his last few starts, having finished in the top 10 in three of his four most recent races, which include a ninth place at the 2022 AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway and a sixth place at the 2022 NASCAR All-Star Race. He also settled for 10th place at the 2022 Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway before a 13th place at the 2022 Enjoy Illinois 300 presented by TicketSmarter at World Wide Technology Raceway. As for his performance at Sonoma Raceway, Bowman has two top 10s in five starts there.
Ranked third in the standings with 438 points, Bryon comes across as a tasty sleeper, considering this price. And that’s not to mention that he’s already got two wins this season. He’s been shaky over his last few races, but the trust should still be there for those hunting for a sleeper pick. With four top 5s in 12 starts, it should just be a matter of time before Byron heats up again. He has a couple of top 10s in two of his last three starts at Sonoma Raceway, including a ninth-place at the 2021 Toyota / Save Mart 350.
Harvick figured in an accident in last Sunday’s race at Word Wide Technology Raceway, but prior to that, he finished a strong third at the 2022 Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. He has three top 5s this season, two of which came over his last five starts. He’s also got seven top 10s in 12 starts overall. Moreover, Harvick has cracked the top six in all but one of his last six appearances at Sonoma Raceway.
