Last week at Pocono we finally got to see Xfinity Series points leader, Cole Custer, get his first win since his Championship win last Fall at Phoenix. Next up we head to a track that the Xfinity Series hasn’t ran at since 2019, well in this form anyway as we head to the Indianapolis oval. I have picked 5 notable drivers to look at, 1 based on 2024 season stats, 1 based on Big track stats, 1 based on the last Indianapolis race, 1 based on their Indianapolis 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 19 races since the Playoffs started in 2016. We will also highlight notable streaks accomplished through the year and at Indianapolis, 2023/24 Big track (2+ miles, non-drafting) statistics and Indianapolis 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) and Cole Custer (4 in a row)
This week not in consideration: Chandler Smith (4 in a row, 2nd week) and Cole Custer (4 in a row)

Main Points & Outlook
– Justin Allgaier is notable because of his stats on Big tracks since the start of 2023
– Allgaier won Stage 1 at Pocono last week, ran 84% of his laps in the Top 15, led 33% of his laps, and finished 2nd in the race
– This year he has the most Stage Wins (11), Stage T10’s (31), and Stage Pts (213) with the 2nd best Avg. Stage Finish (8.58); but he has as many DNF’s as Top 3’s (4)
– He is currently on a personal season long 4 straight Top 10 finish streak and earlier this year he had the longest Stage Win streak in the Xfinity Series all-time at 6 straight Stage Wins
– At Indianapolis he is currently on a 2 race Top 2 finish streak, a 1 straight Stage Win “streak”, and a 4 straight Stage T10 streak
– In the last 4 Big track races he has a best finish of 2nd while leading 17% of his laps and getting 5.88 Stage Pts Per Stage, but he has just 2 Top 10’s
– In the last race at the Indianapolis oval for the Xfinity Series Allgaier led 24% of his laps, ran 98% of his laps in the Top 15, and finished 2nd
– With this being the only race at Indianapolis since the start of 2019 the only things to add are that he got 7.5 Stage Pts Per Stage and had a 131.1 Driver Rating
Outlook for this weekend
Justin Allgaier has been on a nice hot streak of late finishing the last 4 races in the Top 10 and he’s been the stage king all year, but he also has a concerning amount of DNF’s. However, this week is a Big track where he has 0 DNF’s in the last 4 races and has actually ran well, but he hasn’t always finished well. Then again, this is Indianapolis where Allgaier finished 2nd in the 2019 race, the last Xfinity race on the Indy oval. All in all, expect Allgaier to be great this weekend from start to finish, and if he can finish expect it to be close to the front.

Main Points & Outlook
– Austin Hill is notable because of his stats thru 19 races in the 2024 Xfinity season
– At Pocono Hill got 13 Stage Pts and ran 92% of his laps in the Top 15 en route to a 7th place finish
– He has the 2nd best Avg. Finish this year (10.68) and is tied for most Top 2’s (4) and Top 5’s (8) with his stage stats ranking between 3rd and 4th in the 2024 Ranks above
– This year he’s had a 2 race Win streak, a 5 race Top 5 streak, and an 11 straight Stage T10 streak; but currently he is on a 6 race Top 10 streak and a 3 straight Stage T10 streak
– His only Indianapolis streak is an active 1 straight Top 10 finish “streak”
– He has a 6.25 Avg. Finish in the last 4 Big track races with 1 Win, 3 Top 10’s, and he’s ran 90% of his laps in the Top 15
– In the 2019 Indianapolis Xfinity race Hill ran just 56% of his laps in the Top 15 and finished 9th while leading 0 laps
– With this being the only race at Indianapolis since the start of 2019 the only things to add are that he got 0 Stage T10’s and had an 81.0 Driver Rating
Outlook for this weekend
After a rough patch in the middle of the year Austin Hill has found his mojo as he’s finished the last 3 races in the Top 10, and he’s still got some of the best 2024 stats of any Xfinity driver. What’s more is that this weekend is a Big track where he’s ran well and not finished out of the Top 15 in the last 4 races on this track style. More good news is that he ran the only Xfinity race at Indy since the start of 2019 and while he didn’t run great, he did finish well. Overall, expect a solid day from Hill this weekend, and while he may not end up in victory lane he’ll most likely finish good.

Main Points & Outlook
– A.J. Allmendinger is notable because he’s 5th in points after Pocono
– At Pocono Allmendinger acquired 11 Stage Pts, ran 77% of his laps in the Top 15, and finished 6th
– Only 8 of his 17 2024 Ranks above are better than 10th and out of the 25 drivers to get a Top 3 finish this year, he is not one of them
– His longest Top 5/10 streak this year is 2 straight races, but his only currently is a 2 straight Stage T10 streak
– He has never ran an Xfinity race at the Indianapolis oval, so he has no streaks here
– He’s only ran 1 of the last 4 Big track Xfinity races, last week at Pocono, and in the race he finished 6th and had a 97.4 Driver Rating
– Since Allmendinger has never ran an Xfinity race at Indianapolis he obviously didn’t race here in 2019
– No races means no stats either here at Indianapolis
Outlook for this weekend
A.J. Allmendinger has been riding the struggle bus for a lot of the 2024 season as he hasn’t ran great and has 0 Top 3 finishes, but he is on a 4 race Top 11 streak. This includes the 6th place finish he got at Pocono last week, which is his only Xfinity Big track race since the start of 2023. However, while he’s been good at the Indy Road Course he’s never ran an Xfinity race on the Indy oval. So, with all this said there isn’t much to go off of in terms of stats for Allmendinger this weekend, but with his decent streak of late expect a decent run with a Top 10 finish.

Main Points & Outlook
– Brandon Jones is notable because of how he did in the last Xfinity Series race on the Indianapolis oval, 2019
– Jones failed to score a Stage T10 at Pocono last weekend and ran just 23% of his laps in the Top 15 en route to a 13th place finish
– This year he has a 19.11 Avg. Finish with only 5 Top 10’s to 6 finishes out of the Top 20, but all 6 of those finishes have been DNF’s and he does have 2 Poles this year
– His longest DNF streak this year (3 races) is longer than his longest Top 10 streak (2 races) and is half as long as his longest Stage T10 streak (6 stages)
– At Indianapolis he is on a 4 race Top 10 finish streak and a 5 straight Stage T10 streak, both the longest active streaks in their category
– In the last 4 Xfinity Big track races he’s only ran 59% of his laps in the Top 15 and he has just 2 Top 10’s, but he does have a 90.93 Avg. Driver Rating and 2.38 Stage Pts Per Stage
– In the 2019 Xfinity Indianapolis race Jones won Stage 1, led 8 laps, ran 90% of his laps in the Top 15, and finished 6th
– With this being the only race at Indianapolis since the start of 2019 the only things to add are that he got 8 Stage Pts Per Stage and had a 109.9 Driver Rating
Outlook for this weekend
Brandon Jones has not had a good 2024 and his stats above show it, but the good news for him is that his only finishes out of the Top 20 are DNF’s. However, he’s also gotten just 2 Top 10’s in the last 14 races with the last one coming in late May at Charlotte. The news gets a little better with this weekend being a Big track as he’s had some good finishes in the last 4 races. However, this best news is that this is the Indy oval where Jones is on a 4 race Top 10 streak and ran well in the last race here as well. In total, with the Indy stats as good as they are a good run is a possibility this weekend for Jones, and he may end his Top 10 drought.

Main Points & Outlook
– Jeb Burton is notable because of his stats on the Indianapolis oval since the start of 2019 (1 race)
– Last week Burton ran 61% of his laps in the Top 15, but he floundered late to finish 21st
– He has a 23.68 Avg. Finish this year with almost as many Finishes out of the Top 20 (12) as Stage Pts (14) and he has just 1 Top 10 to 3 DNF’s
– The only streak he’s this year is a 2 straight Stage T10 streak
– At Indianapolis he is on a 1 race Top 5 “streak” and a 1 straight Stage T10 “streak”
– He has a best finish of 10th in the last 4 Big track races with 0 Stage T10’s, and he’s only ran 36% of his laps in the Top 15
– At Indianapolis in 2019 Burton wheeled his JRM number 8 to a 4th place finish while getting the 4th best Driver Rating in the race at 104.6
– With this being the only race at Indianapolis since the start of 2019 the only things to add are that he ran 96% of his laps in the Top 15 and got 3.5 Stage Pts Per Stage
Outlook for this weekend
The 2023 feel good story of the Xfinity Series, Jeb Burton and JAR, have been just plain bad this year. In fact, beyond the bad 2024 stats above, he has just 1 Top 15 in the last 9 Xfinity races. What’s worse is that we head to a Big track this weekend where he hasn’t ran all that well and has 0 Stage T10’s with only 1 Top 10 finish in the last 4 races. However, this is the Indy oval where he finished 4th in the 2019 races and ran well too, but this was with JRM. In all, don’t expect anything good from Burton this weekend as just a few Stage Pts and a Top 15 finish will be considered a win for him.
