In the second Short track race of the Xfinity season, last week at Martinsville, we saw more Joe Gibbs Racing domination as their drivers combined to lead 60% of the race, with Aric Almirola leading 59% of the laps and ending up in Victory Lane. This week we go to a different type of track entirely as we go to the 1.5 mile Texas Motor Speedway. I have picked 5 notable drivers to look at, 1 based on 2024 season stats, 1 based on Intermediate stats, 1 based on the last Texas race, 1 based on their Texas stats over the last 5 Xfinity seasons, and 1 based on the highest in 2024 points that wasn’t already picked. Here is a look at those 5 notable drivers 2024 season statistics, along with ranks among drivers in 2024 as well as ranking through 7 races since the Playoffs started in 2016. We will also highlight notable streaks accomplished through the year and at Texas, 2023/24 Intermediate (1.3-1.5 mile) statistics and Texas statistics from the past 5 Xfinity seasons.
Note: any driver in 4 straight Xfinity outlook articles is not in consideration for the next two, or any driver in 4 of 5 Xfinity outlook articles is not in consideration for the next one. This resets after they are put back into consideration.
This week not in consideration: Chandler Smith (4 in a row, 2nd week) & Cole Custer (4 in a row)

Main Points & Outlook
– Austin Hill is notable because of his 2024 stats thru 7 races
– Last week Hill ran well at Martinsville running 100% of his laps in the Top 15, however he was caught up in a wreck at lap 70 which caused him to DNF in 34th place
– Despite this bad finish he still has the 2nd best Avg. Finish this year (7.71) and still has the 2nd most Top 3’s, Top 5’s, Top 10’s, and Playoff Pts
– Going into last week he had a Top 10 in all 6 races to start the year and at one point this year had a 5 race Top 5 streak
– His Texas streaks aren’t too shabby as he is on a 3 race Top 10 streak and a 6 straight Stage T10 streak here
– In 10 Intermediate races since the start of 2023 he has a 4.2 Avg. Finish with 8 Top 5’s and a worst finish of 7th, but he has just 1 Win and 1 Stage Win
– Last year at Texas Hill ran 88% of his laps in the Top 15 and got 17 Stage Pts, but Stage 3 wasn’t as good to him as he finish 7th
– In 5 Xfinity races at Texas he has a 13.4 Avg. Finish with 2 Top 5’s and 3 Top 10’s, but he’s only ran 65% of his laps in the Top 15
Outlook for this weekend
Austin Hill had a good start to the 2024 season, but that got derailed last week at Martinsville with a wreck. However, his stats are still very good this year, and heading to an Intermediate track this weekend may make the stats even better. In the last 10 Xfinity Intermediate track races he has just a worst finish of 7th, which is also where he finished at Texas last year. Overall he’s been decent at Texas the last 5 years, but he hasn’t always ran well and hasn’t found Victory Lane. All this said expect a solid day from Hill this weekend with more than likely another Top 10 finish.

Main Points & Outlook
– Jesse Love is notable because he’s 4th in points thru 7 races
– At Martinsville last week Love ran 96% of his laps in the Top 15 and finished 9th in the race, but despite this he got 0 Stage Pts
– His worst 2024 Rank above is just T8th (6 Stage T10’s & 38 Stage Pts), but he does have the 4th best Avg. Finish (10.14)
– He is currently on a 4 race Top 10 finish streak and earlier this year had 2 straight Poles and 2 straight Stage Wins
– He has never ran a race at Texas and thus has no streaks here
– In his only Intermediate Xfinity race he ran 75% of his laps in the Top 15 and got 4 Stage Pts, but he ended up finishing 17th
– Love did not compete in the Xfinity race at Texas last year
– As mentioned above he has never ran a race at Texas and has no stats here
Outlook for this weekend
Jesse Love has had an impressive start to his rookie campaign in the Xfinity Series in terms of finishes, but his stages haven’t been as impressive. This is about the only data we have to go on for Love this weekend as he’s only ran 1 Intermediate race in the Xfinity Series since the start of 2023. Furthermore, he’s never ran a race at Texas. In the one Intermediate race he’s raced in he ran well but didn’t finish that well. In total, the stats don’t tell much about how Love will do this weekend, but based on what there is expect at least a decent run from him this weekend.

Main Points & Outlook
– Justin Allgaier is notable because of how he ran at Texas last year
– Allgaier ran 75% of his laps in the Top 15 last week after starting 5th. He ended up winning Stage 2 and finishing 5th in the race
– This was his 1st Top 5 finish of the year and only his 3rd Top 10 in 7 races this year, but he does have 11 Stage T10’s and the 4th best Avg. Stage Finish (7.79)
– The only streak he has this year is an 8 straight Stage T10 streak earlier this year
– His Texas streaks are much better as he had a 3 straight Top 5 streak in 2021-22 and is currently on a 2 straight Stage Win streak and a 16 straight Stage T10 streak
– The last 10 Xfinity Intermediate races have brought him 1 Win, 3 Poles, 7 Top 10’s, a 110.99 Avg. Driver Rating, and 5.75 Stage Pts Per Stage
– Last year at Texas Allgaier started 1st, led 67% of the race, won Stage 1 and 2, and had the best Driver Rating; but he could only muster up a 5th place finish
– In the last 5 years at Texas Allgaier has ran all 9 Xfinity races scoring 5 Top 5’s and 4 Stage Wins while only finishing out of the Top 10 in one of 18 stages, but he’s gotten 0 Wins
Outlook for this weekend
Justin Allgaier hasn’t had a great start to the season in terms of finish, but what has helped him keep his footing in the point standings is his good stage finishes. Even better news is that this weekend is an Intermediate track where he’s ran and finished well for the most part the last 10 races. Furthermore, this week is Texas where Allgaier ran great last year and has ran and finished well overall in the last 5 years. Based on all of this expect Allgaier to have a really good run this weekend and maybe get that first Texas win he’s been trying for for so long.

Main Points & Outlook
– Parker Kligerman is notable because of his stats at Texas in the last 5 years
– Kligerman had a rough day at Martinsville last weekend running just 9% of his laps in the Top 15, but he ended up with a 12th place finish
– On the year he has a 12.43 Avg. Finish and 13.07 Avg. Stage Finish with 3 Top 10’s and only 1 finish out of the Top 20
– The best streak he has this year is a 3 race Top 10 finish streak
– He’s only ran 1 race at Texas in the Xfinity Series (last year) and so the only streaks he has here are his 1 straight Top 2 finish and 2 straight Stage T10’s
– Since the start of 2023 he has a 13.4 Avg. Finish with 2 Top 5’s and just 3 Top 10’s in 10 Intermediate races while getting just 1.6 Stage Pts Per Stage
– Kligerman’s best of these 10 races was at Texas last year where he ran all but 1 lap in the Top 15, had a 108.9 Driver Rating, and finished 2nd
– This is his only Xfinity start at Texas and thus his stats here are pretty good
Outlook for this weekend
Parker Kligerman has had a solid and consistent start to the season as his Avg. Finish in races and Avg. Stage Finish are only 0.64 spots apart. This is good, but this weekend is an Intermediate track where he’s been decent but not great. In the last 10 Intermediate races he does have 8 Top 15’s, but also just 3 Top 10’s. The good new is that this is Texas where he ran great and finished 2nd in his only start, last year. Overall don’t expect the same kind of run that Kligerman had last year at Texas this weekend, but don’t be surprised if he runs and finished good.

Main Points & Outlook
– A.J. Allmendinger is notable because of his 2023/24 stats on Intermediate tracks
– Last week at Martinsville Allmendinger ran 91% of his laps in the Top 15, but he was caught up in the same wreck as Austin Hill causing him to DNF in 36th place
– Thru 7 races he has just a 15.29 Avg. Finish with only 3 Top 10’s while running just 67% of the laps this year in the Top 15; but he does have 9 Stage T10’s
– Speaking of stages, the only streak he has this year is a 6 straight Stage T10 streak
– At Texas the only streaks he has are 4 straight Top 10 finishes and 5 straight Stage T10’s from 2021-22
– He’s only raced in 2 of the 10 Intermediate Xfinity races since the start of last year, but he has a Win and a 6th place finish with a 115.5 Avg. Driver Rating
– Allmendinger did not race in the Texas Xfinity race last year
– He’s ran 4 Xfinity Texas races in the last 5 years and has a worst finish of only 9th, but also just a best finish of 4th and has gotten a Top 10 in 7 of the 8 stages
Outlook for this weekend
A.J. Allmendinger hasn’t gotten off to the 2024 Xfinity return that was expected as he’s struggled to run and finish well. The good news is that this weekend is an Intermediate track where he’s ran and finished well in his 2 races since the start of last year, but neither of these races were at Texas. However, in his 4 Xfinity races at Texas in the last 5 years he has been consistent finishing between 4th and 9th in all 4 races, and he’s ran well in the races as well. Based on the stats don’t expect Allmendinger to blow down the walls this weekend, but expect a much needed solid run and finish.
