The 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season heads to the Bristol Motor Speedway for the season’s ninth race, the SciAps 300. Ahead of the race, NASCAR insider Bob Pockrass shared his prediction, picking his favorite to win and top-five finishes at the 2025 Xfinity Series SciAps 300.

Pockrass picked JR Motorsports driver Justin Allgaier to take the checkered flag at Bristol on Saturday, April 12. Allgaier, the defending series champion, drives the #7 Chevrolet full-time for Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s co-owned JRM and is currently competing in his 10th season with the team.

Pockrass’ remaining top five predictions are Austin Hill, Sheldon Creed, Christian Eckes, and Carson Kvapil.

Justin Allgaier has a good track record in the series at Bristol Motor Speedway. He has scored two wins, 11 top-five finishes, and four top-10 finishes in 24 starts. He is also the favorite in the odds table to win his third career race at the 0.533-mile Bristol track.
