Last week at New Hampshire we got to see the Xfinity Series start the race on wet tires, and then at the end it was a bit of crapshoot that turned into a wild overtime finish. In the end it was Christopher Bell who powered around Cole Custer and Sheldon Creed on the last lap to win at New Hampshire again. Now we head to a track where there will once again be plenty of Cup competition in the Xfinity race, Nashville. 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 Nashville race, 1 based on their Nashville 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 16 races since the Playoffs started in 2016. We will also highlight notable streaks accomplished through the year and at Nashville, 2024 Intermediate (1.3-1.5 miles) statistics and Nashville 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: Justin Allgaier (4 in a row, 2nd week) & Austin Hill (4 in a row)

Main Points & Outlook
– Cole Custer is notable because of his 2024 stats thru 16 Xfinity races
– Custer was able to acquire 8 Stage Pts last week at New Hampshire and he led 56% of the race, but despite this he only finished 3rd in the race
– His 8.56 Avg. Finish, 91.66 Laps in Top 15%, 105.15 Avg. Driver Rating, 7 Top 5’s, 13 Top 10’s, and 1 Finish out of the Top 20 are all either the best/most or tied best/most in the 2024 Ranks above
– He is now on a 4 race Top 10 streak, and earlier this year he had a 9 race Top 10 streak
– The only streaks he has at Nashville are his active 1 race Pole “streak”, 1 race Top 10 “streak”, and his 2 straight Stage T10 streak
– In 4 Intermediate races this year he’s ran 90% of his laps in the Top 15 while picking up 3 Top 5’s and getting 3 Stage Pts Per Stage
– At Nashville last year Custer ran 97% of his laps in the Top 15 and led 16% of the laps, but despite getting the 3rd best Driver Rating he finished 9th in the race
– This is his only Xfinity Series start at Nashville so the only stats left to mention are that he won the Pole and got 9 Stage Pts Per Stage
Outlook for this weekend
Cole Custer picked up just his 3rd Top 3 finish of the year last week at New Hampshire, but he does lead the series with 13 Top 10 finishes in the 16 races this year. What’s more is that he’s run very well this year, and the same can be said about the 4 Intermediate races as he’s ran great and had 2 of his 3 Top 3 finishes. Even better, is that this weekend is Nashville where he ran great last year, but he couldn’t hold on as he ended up 9th in his only Xfinity start here. Overall, expect Custer to have a great run this weekend and finish up front, but probably not end up in victory lane.

Main Points & Outlook
– Chandler Smith is notable because of his career Xfinity stats at Nashville (1 race)
– Smith only got 6 Stage Pts at New Hampshire last week and only ran 71% of his laps in the Top 15 en route to a 15th place finish
– He has only 10 Top 10’s this year but half of those have been Top 3 finishes, and his 10 Top 10’s are T2nd most this year
– He has the longest Top 3 streak this year (3 races) and he’s had an impressive 7 straight Top 10 finishes and 3 straight Stage Wins this year
– The only streaks he has at Nashville are his active 1 straight Stage Win “streak”, and his 2 straight Stage T10 streak
– In the 4 Intermediate races this year he has just 1 Top 10 finish, but he has a good 99.3 Avg. Driver Rating with a 7.38 Avg. Stage Finish
– In the 2023 Nashville race he led 38% of the laps, ran 98% of his laps in the Top 15, and had the 2nd best Driver Rating (120.6); but he only finished 12th
– This is the only Xfinity race he’s ran at Nashville and thus the only stats to add are that he got 1 Stage Win last year and 7.5 Stage Pts Per Stage
Outlook for this weekend
Chandler Smith’s 2 race Top 10 streak got broken by a late race spin at New Hampshire last week, but he’s still got some of the best 2024 stats of any driver. However, the good news stops there mostly as this week is an Intermediate where he’s not ran too bad, but he hasn’t been able to produce many good finishes this year. The same can be said about his lone Xfinity Nashville race, last year, as he ran pretty well but finished out of the Top 10. Based on these stats expect a good run from Smith this weekend, but don’t be surprised if he doesn’t finish good.

Main Points & Outlook
– Sheldon Creed is notable because he’s 5th in points heading into Nashville
– Last week at New Hampshire Creed ran 95% of his laps in the Top 15 and got 7 Stage Pts, but in the end he finished 2nd for the 10th time in his Xfinity career
– He is tied for 2nd most Top 3’s (3) and Top 10’s (10) this year, but he also has 4 finishes out of the Top 20 and a 12.66 Avg. Stage Finish
– He is currently on a 3 race Top 5 finish streak, but this is also his longest Top 10 streak this year
– At Nashville he has no streaks
– In 4 Intermediate races this year he has a best finish of only 9th with this is his only Top 15 while he’s finished out of the Top 20 twice, and he has just 0.88 Stage Pts Per Stage
– At Nashville last year Creed got 0 Stage Pts, ran just 65% of his laps in the Top 15, and finished 17th
– This was his 2nd Xfinity Nashville race and in the races he’s finished 17th and 36th while running just 49% of his laps in the Top 15 and getting 0 Stage T10’s
Outlook for this weekend
Sheldon Creed finished 2nd again last week to tie Dale Jarrett and Daniel Hemric for most 2nd place finishes before their first Xfinity win, but even without a win his 2024 stats are still pretty good. However, these stats may take a dip this weekend as we head to an Intermediate track as he’s ran decent on these tracks this year, but he’s done bad in stages and at finishing races. Even worse is that he’s been close to awful in his 2 Xfinity Nashville starts. So, with all this said don’t expect too much from Creed this weekend, and don’t be surprised if he doesn’t finish well.

Main Points & Outlook
– A.J. Allmendinger is notable because of his 2023 Xfinity Nashville race
– In New Hampshire Allmendinger got 7 Stage Pts and ran 83% of his laps in the Top 15, ending up 11th at the finish
– He has 0 Top 3 finishes this year and the same amount of Top 5’s as finishes out of the Top 20 (3), but he does have 19 Stage T10’s despite running only 84% of the laps this year
– His only notable streaks this year are a 2 race Top 5/10 streak and a 6 straight Stage T10 streak earlier in the year
– His only notable Nashville streak is his active 1 straight Win “streak”
– He’s only ran 79% of his laps in the Top 15 in Intermediate races this year, but he has 2 Top 5’s and 3 Top 10’s in the 4 races with an 8.5 Avg. Stage Finish
– Last year at Nashville Allmendinger ran just 84% of his laps in the Top 15, but he wound up leading 25 laps, having the best Driver Rating, and winning the race
– In his 3 Xfinity Nashville starts he has a Win, 2 Top 5’s, and a 16th while running 88% of his laps in the Top 15
Outlook for this weekend
A.J. Allmendinger’s 2024 season can be summed up by the fact that 25 drivers have either finished Top 3 in an Xfinity race or won an Xfinity stage this year, and Allmendinger is not one of the 25. However, there is good news in the fact that 2 of his 3 Top 5’s this year have come on Intermediate tracks, which is where we head this weekend. What’s more is that this weekend is Nashville where he won last year and where he’s ran well in his 3 Xfinity starts. In all, looking at these stats expect a solid run from Allmendinger this weekend, and he’s a good sleeper pick for a Top 5 or even a win.

Main Points & Outlook
– Ty Gibbs is notable because of his stats on Intermediate races in the Xfinity races this year (1 race)
– The last Xfinity race for Gibbs was at Sonoma where he won Stage 2 and ran 98% of his laps in the Top 15, but a wreck at the start of Stage 3 had him finish 35th
– He has a 22.67 Avg. Finish in his 3 Xfinity races this year with only 1 Top 10, but he does have an 8.83 Avg. Stage Finish
– The only streak he has this year in the Xfinity Series is a 3 straight Stage T10 streak of stages he ran in
– His only streak at Nashville is also a 3 straight Stage T10 streak that was broken in Stage 2 of last years race
– He’s ran in just 1 Xfinity Intermediate race this year and in it he ran 96% of his laps in the Top 15, led 14% of his laps, and finished 9th
– Last year Gibbs won Stage 1 at Nashville before getting wrecked in Stage 2 to finish 37th, but he still ended with the 9th best Driver Rating in the race (95.3)
– He’s finished 4th and 37th in his 2 Nashville Xfinity races with a 103.3 Avg. Driver Rating, 3 Stage T10’s, and he’s led 13% of his laps
Outlook for this weekend
Ty Gibbs has disappointed in his 3 Xfinity races this year, but the ones he didn’t finish well at were Road Courses. This week is an Intermediate where he ran very well in his 1 race this year, but he finished 9th after a late wreck damaged his car. The fact that this weekend is Nashville is the same song but a different verse for Gibbs. At this track he’s ran well in the Xfinity Series but got wrecked to finish bad last year. In total, expect a good run from Gibbs this weekend as long as he’s on the track, but don’t be surprised if he doesn’t finish the race.
