Predictions
Alex Bowman (8) vs Ty Dillon (32)—Alex Bowman to win
Alex Bowman is much more consistent than Ty Dillon on road courses. His performance in this season has been better too, whereas Dillon had a tough time in H2H confrontations.
John Hunter Nemechek (12) vs Erik Jones (20)—Erik Jones wins (close battle).
The battle between John Hunter Nemechek and Erik Jones will be tight. Nemechek possesses speed, yet Erik Jones has more experience and improved finishes on tracks such as Sonoma.
Ryan Preece (15) vs Tyler Reddick (23)—Tyler Reddick to win
Ryan Preece is promising but fared poorly at tight corners. Conversely, Tyler Reddick has performed impeccably with his control and speed at such occasions.
Ty Gibbs (6) vs Zane Smith (14)—Ty Gibbs to win
Ty Gibbs is a developing star with impressive road course showings. Conversely, Zane Smith is skilled but less tested at this level on such circuits.
