Erik Jones #31 ($10,600)

Starting 36th

I'm really interested to see how Jones does in this 31 car this weekend.

Jones has been in the 43 in the Cup Series this year, a big downgrade from the Joe Gibbs Racing equipment he was piloting in the past, with his average finish dropping from 15.9 last season to 21.0 this season.

Jones has run just one Xfinity race since 2017, but he's won nine races during his time in Xfinity. While none of those wins were on road courses, Jones is a solid driver at this kind of track. In Xfinity, his average finish at road courses is 11.8. In Cup, it's 14.5, better than his average finish on any track type (aside from dirt tracks).

In fact, in three Cup races at the Glen, Jones has three top 10s, with an average finish of 6.3.

So, yeah, excited to see how Jones does.

Austin Dillon #23 ($9,900)

Starting 33rd

Another Cup driver dipping down this weekend, Austin Dillon will be piloting the 23 car for Our Motorsports.

Slightly less place differential upside than there is for Jones, but Dillon is still a strong play.

The Glen isn't his best track, as his Cup Series average finish here is just 27.8. His Xfinity average here is just 20.0, but his last Xfinity start here was back in 2018. Dillon appears to have improved as a driver since then.

His experience on this track makes him a solid bet to finish somewhere between 11th and 20th, probably. You'll obviously be hoping he lands closer to the top 10 side of that.

Michael Annett #1 ($7,700)

Starting 18th

Annett is someone I could see going a little under-rostered this weekend.

He has just eight top 10s in 17 races so far this year and is 11th in points, making this his worst season since 2018. Of course, Annett missed Atlanta, which needs to be factored in.

But this 1 car has been strong on road courses. Third at Road America. Seventh at Mid-Ohio. 15th at the Daytona road course.

Annett has quietly been one of the best road racers in the series this week. There's not unlimited upside like there are with some other drivers, but he should be set up to have a strong showing.

Preston Pardus #90 ($7,400)

Starting 35th

Another big place differential play this week is Preston Pardus. The road-course specialist has run 10 races in the Xfinity Series, with a pair of top 10s last season and an average finish of 23.2 with six lead lap finishes.

Now, none of those starts are at this particular track, but I don't really think that matters. Pardus had some bad luck in four of those starts, with DNFs that relegated him to finishes of 31st or worse.

So, every road course race he's finished has seen Pardus finish on the lead lap in at least 27th place. Lot of upside here.

Alex Labbe #36 ($7,200)

Starting 26th

Labbe hasn't had his best season, but this is a guy with four career top 10s on road courses out of his eight total top 10s. This is the kind of track that suits a driver like Labbe, which is why I think he's a top play.

Now, he's run two Xfinity races at this particular track, with an average finish of 17.5. It's definitely not his best road course, but it's still a road course, which is why I think the Canadian should be looked at as someone who'll finish in the top 20, with the upside to sneak into the top 10.

Kyle Tilley #99 ($7,100)

Starting 37th

This 99 car has been interesting this year.

There's a pair of sixth-place runs from it, which came from Chase Briscoe and Kevin Harvick. There's also been some poor runs from drivers like Mason Massey.

So, what should be expected from Tilley?

Well, he's run three Weathertech Sportscar races this year, with two podiums, including a win at Daytona. He had an electrical issue here at the Glen, but he's got laps here, which should matter.

I don't expect Tilley to be running as well as Harvick was, but he should be able to be a top 20 car. Great play.
