2015 Zippo 200 Odds, Free Picks & Predictions: Favorites & Contenders to Win Zippo 200: The Xfinity Series heads to Watkins Glen International this weekend for the first road course event of 2015. With the Sprint Cup Series also in town, there a handful of big names pulling double duty. In addition to the Cup Series regular bolstering the field, the race also tends to be exciting because its 82-lap scheduled distance lends itself to risky fuel strategy. Look for crew chiefs to call their drivers to pit road early, gambling on a few cautions to help them reach the finish without running out of fuel. It takes both a fast car and the right strategy to win at The Glen, and here is a closer look at the drivers to watch this weekend.
2015 Zippo 200 Odds, Free Picks & Predictions: Favorites & Contenders to Win Zippo 200
The Favorites
His 4.3 average finish at Watkins Glen is the best among drivers in the field this weekend, and Brad Keselowski has never finished outside the top 10 in six career starts at the road course. More importantly, he has finished fourth or better in four straight starts at the track, winning the 2013 event.
Although he has never won at Watkins Glen, Joey Logano is one of the most accomplished drivers in the field this weekend. In fact, his three wins in the Xfinity Series this season are tied for the most of any driver, and he has amassed them in just seven races. Logano has also finished third or better in three of his last five starts at Watkins Glen, finishing second twice.
The Contenders
In two starts at Watkins Glen in the Xfinity Series, Kyle Larson has never finished better than 15th. On the flip side, he is one of the most talented drivers in the field this weekend, and did finish fourth at Watkins Glen last year in the Cup Series event. After contending for a win in the Cup race at the road course, he should have no trouble doing the same in this weekend’s Xfinity race.
He has made eight career starts at Watkins Glen in the Xfinity Series, and Paul Menard has finished in the top 10 in five of them. In fact, he has finished in the top 10 in three straight starts at the track. Granted, Menard doesn’t have a win under his belt at the road course, but if he keeps running in the top 10, it is only a matter of time.
It has been a few years since Boris Said has participated in a road course race in the Xfinity Series, but he should return with a bang with this weekend. After all, he is a former road course winner in the series, and he has finished as high as fourth at Watkins Glen. Said landed a ride with powerhouse program Joe Gibbs Racing this weekend, so he will also have the equipment to match his talent.
Despite making just three road course starts in the Xfinity Series, Chris Buescher has already shown he has able to reach victory lane. He led 25 laps on his way to a win at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course last year, and he rolls into this weekend’s race as the point leader.
While he is still looking for a road course win, Chase Elliott seems likely to visit victory lane sooner rather than later. In three starts, he has three top-10 finishes to go along with a 4.7 average finish. Elliott finished sixth in his Watkins Glen debut last year, and he should be an even bigger threat this weekend with another year of his experience under his belt.
The Sleeper
While he hasn’t won at Watkins Glen, Elliott Sadler always seems to be in the mix whenever the series visits a road course. In fact, he has finished in the top 10 in all six road course events since the start of last season, and during the stretch, he has finished fifth and seventh in two starts at Watkins Glen. At the very least, Sadler is a safe bet to have a shot at the win.
