NASCAR heads to Phoenix this weekend, site of the year end Championship Race. This race always lets drivers get a good idea of how they need to improve their car here for later in the year if they get to the Championship Four. To throw a slight wrench into things we have William Byron coming over from Cup to run this race in the Hendrick #17 car, which may make things a little tougher on Xfinity regulars this weekend.

Similar to last week we are looking for 2-3 dominators in our lineups as anchors. The top is pretty jumbled and I will want to see practice and qualifying to make final decisions, especially this early in the year, but Sammy Smith and Riley Herbst stand out to me. I also don't think either will be very heavily owned. Smith was the winner here last spring and has been top ten in all three of his Xfinity races at Phoenix. JR Motorsports has had good success here overall as well. I am impressed by the speed from Herbst last week and he comes at a fair price for a second dominator. Sam Mayer and AJ Allmendinger have an outside shot to lead laps here as well, and I am not used to seeing AJ this cheap in the Xfinity series. Josh Williams ran solid last week and I am bullish on his prospects in this #11 car. Kyle Weatherman is a consistent 20th place car so we really need him to start a little further back to be in play for place differential.
