FanDuel Sportsbook Promos NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Best Bets: TSport 200
We know that Corey Heim and Christian Eckes are the class of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series this year.
And typically, that's going to lead to Heim being the favorite with Eckes closely behind. That's largely the case this week with Heim +180 to win in FanDuel Sportsbook's NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series betting odds while Eckes is +450.
My model just views things differently at tracks like Indianapolis Raceway Park.
Of Heim's five wins, two have been on bigger, faster tracks, and his speed there is apparent.
Eckes' three wins have come at Bristol, Martinsville, and Nashville. Nashville isn't short, but it is concrete, and there is some overlap there with a track like IRP where tire degradation is massive.
As a result, my model has Eckes as the favorite prior to practice and qualifying. That's pretty far off market, so I could be wrong. But I know why he's there, and I don't disagree with it.
Here's the full run of sims prior to practice and qualifying.
Driver | Win | Podium | Top 5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christian Eckes | 26.1% | 52.2% | 64.8% |
| Corey Heim | 13.2% | 34.2% | 48.8% |
| Ty Majeski | 11.2% | 33.0% | 49.1% |
| Ross Chastain | 6.3% | 19.9% | 32.6% |
| Nick Sanchez | 5.4% | 16.2% | 29.7% |
| Ben Rhodes | 5.0% | 15.8% | 27.4% |
| Tyler Ankrum | 4.7% | 15.4% | 26.5% |
Truck Series at IRP Best Bets
- Christian Eckes (+450): In addition to the Bristol and Martinsville wins this year, Eckes was runner-up at IRP last year and won at Darlington, another track with tons of tire falloff.
- Ben Rhodes (+2800): Finished third in Darlington this year and has a runner-up at IRP on his ledger from 2022.
- Tyler Ankrum (+2800): Finished top-five in both Bristol and Darlington and was decent enough in North Wilkesboro. Finished sixth at IRP in 2022 even while in worse equipment than he's in now.
