It is a big weekend in NASCAR coming our way over the next few days.

While the Cup Series and Xfinity Series are in the closing stages of the regular season, the Cup Series is heading to the playoffs with the first race in the Round of 10.

My Analysis

The drivers are set to take to the Milwaukee Mile, with all of them well aware that the winner will book an automatic berth in the Round of 8.

There are 3 races to come at this stage of the playoffs but getting that first win could potentially set things up for a deep playoff run.

This one goes off at 4 PM EST on Sunday afternoon, so let’s take a look at some of the major players.

Corey Heim

It has been a great year thus far for Heim, who ended things as the regular season champion. He will not be settling for just that, though, and he will be looking for his second straight trip to the Championship Round.

Last year, Heim successfully made it all the way through the postseason before coming up short in the final race and settling for 4th overall.

Heim will be looking to better that result and could well get off to a good start in Milwaukee.

He finished 4th on that track last season, and while he has been a little off in the last couple of races this season, a top 3 wager might not be a bad pick.

Christian Eckes

It always helps to head into the postseason on a good run of form, and you have to say that no driver has been hotter than Eckes over the past few races.

He has been on the podium in each of the last 5 races, with 1 win included in that run.

Eckes just missed out on the Championship Round last season, but I think he looks stronger this time around.

He finished 3rd in Milwaukee last season, and I believe he could well win it this weekend.

Ty Majeski

It took Majeski some time to pick up his first win of the season this year, but he then ended the regular season by winning 2 in a row.

His win in Richmond in the final race of the regular season proved that he could win on an oval track as well as the road courses, which is where he tended to excel.

The question now is whether that bodes well for the postseason, as he is probably going to need to pick up a win somewhere along the way.

He finished 7th in Milwaukee last season and could be top 5 here.

Nicholas Sanchez

While some drivers are coming into the playoffs on a great run of form, Sanchez is trying to recapture his success from earlier this season, when he picked up a pair of wins.

Over the last 4 races, Sanchez has been in the top 10 just once, and even with that one, it was by the skin of his teeth.

He had a bit of a nightmare run in Milwaukee last season, and that, combined with his current form, makes him a very risky bet on Sunday.
