Best NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Bets for the Championship Race at Phoenix

Corey Heim is the deserving champion this year in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. And he's probably going to get the job done.

But nothing's ever certain in NASCAR, especially in a one-race championship. And I'm actually showing value in all three of his competitors to win in FanDuel Sportsbook's NASCAR Truck Series betting odds.

So, looks like we're betting against Heim Time this week. What could possibly go wrong?

Let's start by laying out my model's sims for the Championship Four. Then we can go through the full sims before digging into the two drivers I think are worth a bet for Friday's race.

NASCAR Truck Series Betting Picks for Phoenix

• Ty Majeski to Win the Race (+380): Majeski's a thin value -- 21.2% for me versus 20.8% implied -- but I rarely am above market on Majeski on this track type because bettors know how good he is. Thus, I'm fine with it even if the margin is small. He has had a top-five average running position recently in IRP, Richmond, and Martinsville, and he finished fifth at New Hampshire, as well. Majeski led 132 of 150 laps in this race last year to claim the championship, so I don't want to count him out.
• Kaden Honeycutt to Win the Race (+1400): I was on Honeycutt at +2000 to win last week, and he won the "everybody but Heim" class there. The rationale for backing Honeycutt there translates to here, as well, as he has consistently run up front on this track type since joining Halmar Friesen Racing. Once you give him a bump for being in the Championship Four, he grades out as the best value in the field for me.
