After the 2022 Daytona 500, the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series goes to California for the 2022 Wise Power 400. Have you made your picks yet for this race? If you’re still on the fence, you can let the experts break down which drivers you should be keeping a close eye on.
PJ Walsh of The Action Network is “intrigued” by the chances of Ryan Blaney to top the field in the upcoming 2022 Wise Power 400 at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana. “When [NASCAR] was here two years, [Blaney] ran the second-most fast laps and led the second-most laps,” says Walsh of the Team Penske driver who finished fourth in the recently concluded 2022 Daytona 500. Blaney has three top 10s in five starts at the Auto Club Speedway.

Joey Logano
Here’s what The Kansas City Star says about Joey Logano:
“What exceptional value on a championship driver who completely fits the profile of a Fontana winner, even if he’s yet to triumph there. Logano finished 12th in the most recent Auto Club race two years ago, but before that placed second, fifth, fifth, and fourth, leading laps in each of those starts.”
Logano is eager to bounce back from a mediocre 21st-place finish last Sunday at Daytona. He is +1400 at TopBet sportsbook to win this weekend.

Kyle Larson
William Blackwell is liking the chances of Kyle Larson to win this coming Sunday. Larson was not able to finish the 2022 Daytona 500, so the motivation will be there to rebound for the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion. Larson has three top 5s and a win in seven starts at the Auto Club Speedway.

Kyle Busch
Here’s what TopBet’s Ryan Simpson said about Kyle Busch in our preview of the 2022 Wise Power 400 race:
“Whenever there’s a race at Auto Club Speedway, Busch definitely warrants a look. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver, who finished sixth in the recently concluded 2022 Daytona 500, has four wins and 11 top 5s in 22 career starts at the Auto Club Speedway. Elliott has a better career average finish there than Busch, but Busch has consistently been a strong driver on that track in over 15 starts than Elliott. Busch has been a top three driver in each of his last three starts at the Auto Club Speedway, including in 2019 when he won that year’s edition of the Auto Club 400.”
