Last week was the last week off for the Xfinity Series until late July, but the week before saw Justin Allgaier annihilate the competition to pick up his first win of 2024 at Darlington. Up next we head to another historic Intermediate track where Allgaier has done well in the past, Charlotte. 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 Charlotte race, 1 based on their Charlotte 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 11 races since the Playoffs started in 2016. We will also highlight notable streaks accomplished through the year and at Charlotte, 2024 Intermediate track (1.3-1.5 miles) statistics and Charlotte 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: Austin Hill (4 in a row, 2nd week)

Main Points & Outlook
– Cole Custer is notable because of his 2024 season stats thru 11 races
– Custer was able to start 1st at Darlington two weeks ago, but despite leading 21 laps he only ran 82% of his laps in the Top 15 and got 0 Stage Pts before finishing 3rd
– He has the best Avg. Finish (7.36) this year, the most Top 10’s (9), and he is the only driver to run 5+ Xfinity races and not finish out of the Top 20 this year
– He is currently on a 2 race Top 5 streak and a 9 race Top 10 streak, and before Darlington he was on an impressive 11 straight Stage T10 streak
– At Charlotte he had a 3 race Top 10 streak from 2017-2018 and an 8 straight Stage T10 streak from 2017-2019
– He’s been great at Intermediate tracks this year scoring a 3.33 Avg. Finish and 3 Top 10’s in 3 races, but he’s led just 4% of his laps
– Last year at Charlotte Custer failed to lead a lap, but he did run 92% of his laps in the Top 15, had the 5th best Driver Rating, and finished 3rd in the race
– He’s ran 2 of the last 5 Xfinity Charlotte races and has finishes of 3rd and 24th with a 104.8 Avg. Driver Rating and 4.25 Stage Pts Per Stage
Outlook for this weekend
Cole Custer has had a good 2024 season thus far as he’s finished in the Top 10 in all but 2 races, but he still has a goose egg in the Wins column. However, that could change this weekend based on his 2024 Intermediate stats as he’s not finished out of the Top 10 in 3 races on this style. Even better for Custer is he finished 3rd at Charlotte last year and has good in-race stats when you look at his last 2 Charlotte races. Overall, watch out for Custer this weekend to run well and finish well, but he probably doesn’t end up in victory lane.

Main Points & Outlook
– Chandler Smith is notable because of his 2024 Intermediate stats
– At Darlington Smith got just 6 Stage Pts, but he did run 83% of his laps in the Top 15 and finished 12th
– His worst 2024 Rank above is only T7th (0 Poles) and he has the most Top 3’s (5), Playoff Pts (13), and the best Laps Completed% (99.95%)
– This year he’s had a 3 race Top 3 streak, a 7 straight Top 10 streak, and a 3 straight Stage Win streak
– His only Charlotte streak is an active 2 straight Stage T10 streak
– In 3 Intermediate races this year he has just 1 Top 10, but that was a 3rd place finish, and he has 5.83 Stage Pts Per Stage with a 103.67 Avg. Driver Rating
– In the 2023 Charlotte Xfinity race Smith ran all but 4 laps in the Top 15 while getting 10 Stage Pts, but he ended up finished 13th
– This is his only Xfinity race at Charlotte and thus the only stat to add is that he got a 91.4 Driver Rating in the race
Outlook for this weekend
Chandler Smith started the 2024 season on a 7 race Top 10 streak, but he has just 1 Top 10 in the last 4 races. However, that hasn’t hurt his 2024 stats much as he performed decently well overall this year. Some more so-so news is that this week is an Intermediate track where he has just 1 Top 10 in 3 races this year, but he has ran pretty well. This is the same for his Charlotte race last year as he ran Top 10 most of the day but finished 13th. With all these stats and his recent finishes look for Smith to have a good day this weekend, but a finish that doesn’t reflect that good run.

Main Points & Outlook
– Jesse Love is notable because he is 4th in points heading into Charlotte
– In the last Xfinity race, Darlington, Love got just 7 Stage Pts, but he ran 97% of his laps in the Top 15 ending in a Top 10 finish, in 8th
– He’s had a good start to his rookie Xfinity season as he has 1 Win, 3 Poles, 7 Top 10’s, just 1 finish out of the Top 20, and 4 Stage Wins
– This year he’s had a 6 race Top 10 streak and he is currently on a 3 straight Stage T10 streak
– He has never ran an Xfinity race at Charlotte so he has no streaks here
– He has 0 Top 5’s in the 3 Intermediate races this year, but he does have 2 Top 10’s, 2.33 Stage Pts Per Stage, and he’s ran 85% of his laps in the Top 15
– Love did not race in the 2023 Xfinity Charlotte race
– He’s never ran a race at Charlotte in the Xfinity Series and thus has no stats here
Outlook for this weekend
Jesse Love has been impressive as a rookie this year as through 11 races he has more Top 10’s than every JRM driver, A.J. Allmendinger, and Riley Herbst. His Top 10 numbers may be even better after this weekend as he’s scored 2 Top 10’s in 3 Intermediate races this year, but he hasn’t exactly ran great in the races. Furthermore, he’s never ran an Xfinity race at Charlotte and thus has some learning to do. Overall, based on his stats above don’t expect too much from Love this weekend, but a backend Top 10 is definitely in the cards.

Main Points & Outlook
– Ty Gibbs is notable because of his Xfinity stats at Charlotte over the last 5 years
– The only race that Gibbs has ran in the Xfinity Series this year was at COTA where he ran 80% of his laps in the Top 15, but finished 24th thanks to the late race madness
– Since this is his only race there isn’t much more to add other than he got 1 Stage T10 in the race and had a 92.8 Avg. Driver Rating
– He has no notable streaks in the Xfinity Series this year
– His Charlotte streaks are much more impressive as he is on a 3 race Top 5 streak, a 2 straight Stage Win streak, and a 6 straight Stage T10 streak
– This will be his first Intermediate Xfinity race this year
– Gibbs ran well last year at Charlotte as he won both Stage 1 and Stage 2, led 52 laps, and ran all but 5 laps in the Top 15; but he finished 5th
– He’s ran the last 3 Xfinity Charlotte races and in those races he has a 2.67 Avg. Finish with a worst finish of 5th, a 117.43 Avg. Driver Rating, and he’s never finished out of the Top 10 in a stage
Outlook for this weekend
Ty Gibbs doesn’t have much in terms of Xfinity stats this year as he only ran one race, and that was on a Road Course so he doesn’t have any Intermediate stats. However, the reason Gibbs is in this article is a major one as he’s been incredible in the Xfinity Series at Charlotte as he’s never finished worse than 5th in 3 starts. Based on these stats watch out for Gibbs to be up front all day and battling for the win late.

Main Points & Outlook
– Justin Allgaier is notable because of his 2023 race here at Charlotte
– Allgaier absolutely dominated the last time the Xfinity Series raced as he led 81% of the race, won both stages, and won the race with the best Driver Rating of any driver in an Xfinity race this year (149.7)
– His overall 2024 stats aren’t great as he’s finished less than half the races in the Top 10 with just a 14.82 Avg. Finish, but he has the most Stage Wins ever through 11 Xfinity races (6)
– His longest Top 10 streak this year is just 2 races, but he is currently on a 2 straight Stage Win streak and a 4 straight Stage T10 streak
– At Charlotte he is currently on a 1 race Win and Pole “streak”, a 2 race Top 10 streak, and a 5 straight Stage T10 streak
– In the 3 Intermediate races this year he has 1 Win and 2 Top 3’s with 4 Stage Wins, a 2.5 Avg. Stage Finish, and an incredible 130.4 Avg. Driver Rating
– In the 2023 Charlotte race Allgaier led 42% of the race, got 16 Stage Pts, ran all but 2 laps in the Top 15, and won the race
– He’s ran in all of the last 5 Xfinity Charlotte races getting 3 Top 5’s, a worst finish of 11th, 4.8 Stage Pts Per Stage, and he’s led 15% of the laps he’s run
Outlook for this weekend
Justin Allgaier’s beginning 1/3rd of the Xfinity season didn’t start how he wanted as he has as many Top 5’s as finishes out of the Top 20, but he did dominate last time out, at Darlington. Even more impressive is his stages as he has 6 Stage Wins thru 11 races with 4 of those coming in the 6 Intermediate stages. What’s more is he’s finished well on Intermediates as well, and this week we head to Charlotte where he’s done well in the last 5 years and won last year. Based on these stats, if you’re looking for someone to challenge the Cup boys for a win this weekend look no further than Justin Allgaier.
