Prediction Row 2023
THE CIRCUIT OF THE AMERICAS -- Looks like Christopher Bell and Kyle Larson are this week's favorites for five of our predictors. Let's cheer for Kyle Larson so our three guys at the bottom will finally get a win that could drastically rearrange the standings. Should be a fun race to watch.
Our standings are based on wins and points are used as the tie-breaker. The top 3 will advance to our Playoff Segment
The Circuit of the Americas Predictions
- Rick Almeida 1 win, 183 points - Ross Chastain - Not the strongest road course driver, but consistent on this track. He won last year and can do it again.
- Brian Dillon 1 win, 153 points - Christopher Bell - Previously placed 3rd here and won at the Charlotte Roval last fall. Drives like he’s a road course champion.
- John Mulloy 1 win, 128 points - Christopher Bell - Won the most recent road course race. Finished 3rd here last year. Gibbs and Toyota's first win of the season
- Craig Simundza 0 wins, 176 points - Kyle Larson - Winless this year and knocked out of the final stage of last week, this Hendricks driver will win at this challenging
- Bill Samuels 0 wins, 118 points - Kyle Larson - Kyle has 4 wins and 3 top fives on road courses since 2020. He’ll be in the mix for the win at COTA.
- Jeff Ing 0 wins, 107 points - Kyle Larson - Always aggressive on road courses. He’s won here before. Been close to a win couple of times this year. He’ll win this week
