The Xfinity Series at Chicago was a blast to watch last week as Kyle Larson, Ty Gibbs, and Shane Van Gisbergen put on a well of a show for the fans, but in the end it was Shane Van Gisbergen who picked up his series leading 3rd win of the year. Now we head to a track that has Road Course tendencies, but you probably won’t see a dominant performance from SVG at Pocono. 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 Pocono race, 1 based on their Pocono 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 18 races since the Playoffs started in 2016. We will also highlight notable streaks accomplished through the year and at Pocono, 2023 Big track (2+ miles, non-drafting) statistics and Pocono 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)

Main Points & Outlook
– Cole Custer is notable because of his 2024 stats thru 18 races
– At Chicago last week Custer finished 5th in Stage 1, but only ran 40% of his laps in the Top 15 and ended up 18th at the finish
– Despite his subpar race last week he still leads the series in Avg. Finish (9.11), Laps in Top 15% (91.32), Avg. Driver Rating (104.63), Top 10’s (14), Finishes out of Top 20 (1), and Avg. Stage Finish (8.67)
– He is on no active streaks but earlier this year he had a 9 race Top 10 streak and an 11 straight Stage T10 streak
– At Pocono he once had 2 straight Poles and 2 straight Top 5’s, but the only active streak he is on is a 1 straight Stage T10 “streak”
– In the 3 Big track races last year he ran 68% of his laps in the Top 15, but he had 0 Top 15’s, 2 finishes out of the Top 20, and a 25.33 Avg. Finish
– At Pocono last year Custer was involved in a wreck just after the end of Stage 2 so he only ran 45% of his laps in the Top 15 and finished 33rd with the 19th best Driver Rating (70.7)
– In 3 races at Pocono since the start of 2019 he has 1 Win, 1 Pole, 2 Top 10’s, and 1 finish out of the Top 20 with just 78% of his laps being run in the Top 15
Outlook for this weekend
Chicago was a struggle for Cole Custer last week, but he’s still 1st in points and has some of the best stats of any driver despite having just 1 Top 2 finish. However, this week is the first Big track of the Xfinity Series this year and last year his best Big track finish was just 16th, but he did run pretty good in the 3 races. Then again, this is Pocono where he’s done well in his last 3 Xfinity races picking up a win and leading almost a quarter of his laps. In all, the stats are a bit murky for Custer, but I’d expect a good run this weekend with a decent finish if he’s not involved in a wreck.

Main Points & Outlook
– Justin Allgaier is notable because of his stats in the last 5 Pocono Xfinity races
– Allgaier picked up 7 Stage Pts at Chicago, but he only ran 36% of his laps in the Top 15 en route to a 9th place finish
– He has the most Stage Wins, Stage T10’s, and Stage Pts in the Xfinity Series this year and his 85.67 Laps in Top 15%, 102.99 Avg. Driver Rating, and 8.75 Avg. Stage Finish are all 2nd in the 2024 Ranks above
– He is on a personal season long 3 race Top 10 streak currently and earlier this year he had the longest Stage Win streak in the Xfinity Series all-time at 6 stages
– In terms of Pocono his longest Top 10 race streak is 3 races and he is currently on a Pocono all-time Xfinity record 11 straight Stage T10’s
– At Big tracks last year he had a 13.33 Avg. Finish with just 1 Top 10, but he did have an impressive 107.77 Avg. Driver Rating and he got 6 Stage Pts per Stage
– In the 2023 Pocono race Allgaier ran 76% of his laps in the Top 15, had the 6th best Driver Rating, and led 8 laps, but he could only muster up a 23rd place finish after a last lap wreck
– He’s ran all of the last 5 Pocono Xfinity races and has 3 Top 10’s in those races with an impressive 110.94 Avg. Driver Rating and a Top 10 in all 10 stages
Outlook for this weekend
Justin Allgaier didn’t have a great day at Chicago last week, but he ended up with his 10th Top 10 of 2024. On the year he’s been the Stage King as he dominates almost every 2024 stage stat above. That stage domination could continue this weekend as he did well in stages on Big tracks last year, but a good finish may not come as he struggled to finish well on these tracks. His last 5 Pocono races are pretty much more of the same as he’s been great in stages and has ran well, but the finishes haven’t always been there. In all, watch for Allgaier to do well in stages this weekend, but a good finish, while likely, isn’t guaranteed.

Main Points & Outlook
– Austin Hill is notable because he is 4th in points heading to Pocono
– At Chicago Hill got 13 Stage Pts, including a Stage 2 win, led 8 laps, and ran every lap in the Top 15 en route to a 7th place finish
– His only 2024 stats that aren’t in the top 5 of the 2024 Ranks above are his 92.66 Laps Completed%, 1 Pole, and 2 DNF’s
– He had 2 straight Wins to start the year, has the longest Top 5 streak of the year (5 races), and is currently on a 2 straight Top 10 finish and 2 straight Stage T10 streak
– He is on a 1 race Win “streak” and 2 race Top 10 finish streak at Pocono
– He ran 90% of his laps in the Top 15 in the 3 Big track races last year while getting a 6.0 Avg. Finish, and 1 Win; but he only led 2% of his laps
– Hill was the beneficiary of late race madness last year at Pocono as he only led 2 laps all day, but they were the right two as he finished 1st
– In the last 3 Pocono races he has an 11.33 Avg. Finish while running 77% of his laps in the Top 15, but he’s only led 2% of his laps in the 3 races
Outlook for this weekend
Austin Hill started the year off with 2 straight Wins, but since then he’s only had 2 Top 3 finishes despite leading the series with 8 Top 5 finishes in 2024. This is good and all but what’s even better is that we head to a Big track this weekend where he ran great in the 3 races last year and even picked up a win. That win came here at Pocono and adds to his pretty good stats here in his 3 races, but he’s not done well in stages. In total, Hill may not be great all race this weekend, but he’ll mostly likely be near the front at the finish.

Austin Hill started the year off with 2 straight Wins, but since then he’s only had 2 Top 3 finishes despite leading the series with 8 Top 5 finishes in 2024. This is good and all but what’s even better is that we head to a Big track this weekend where he ran great in the 3 races last year and even picked up a win. That win came here at Pocono and adds to his pretty good stats here in his 3 races, but he’s not done well in stages. In total, Hill may not be great all race this weekend, but he’ll mostly likely be near the front at the finish.

Main Points & Outlook
– Brandon Jones is notable because of how he ran in last years Xfinity Pocono race
– Last week Jones only ran 22% of his laps in the Top 15 en route to a lackluster 17th place finish
– He only has 1 2024 Rank above in the top 10 (2 Poles) and he has the worst Completed Laps% of any driver to run 9+ races this year while being tied for most DNF’s this year as well
– His longest DNF streak this year (3 races) is longer than his longest Top 10 finish streak this year (2 races)
– He is currently on a 1 race Top 10 finish “streak” at Pocono with an active 5 straight Stage T10 streak here as well
– In the 3 Big track races last year he ran 68% of his laps in the Top 15 and got 2 Top 10 finishes while also getting 3.17 Stage Pts Per Stage
– In the 2023 Pocono race Jones ran every lap in the Top 15 and even led 13% of the race en route the 2nd best Driver Rating (119.9) and a 7th place finish
– He’s ran all 5 of the last 5 Pocono Xfinity races, but in those races he has just 2 Top 10’s with 2 DNF’s leading to a 21.0 Avg. Finish
Outlook for this weekend
Brandon Jones has struggled this year as he’s not ran near enough laps this year for his stats to be competitive, and he’s even tied for most DNF’s this year. However, heading to a Big track may be a welcomed sight as he ran well in these races last year and got 2 Top 10’s in the 3 races. This includes last year at Pocono where he ran well and got one of those 2 Top 10’s, but this was only his 2nd Top 10 in the last 5 races here. In all, Jones will probably run decent this year, and if he can stay on the track he probably ends up in or near the Top 10.

Main Points & Outlook
– Josh Berry is notable because of how well he ran in Big track races last year
– Berry’s last race in the Xfinity Series was in the 2023 Championship race where he got 4 Stage Pts and ran all 202 laps in the Top 15 en route to a 6th place finish
– He hasn’t ran an Xfinity race this year and thus has no Xfinity stats
– No races this year means he doesn’t have any streaks either
– At Pocono he is currently on a 2 straight Stage Win streak and a 6 straight Stage T10 streak in the Xfinity Series
– In the 3 Big track races last year he ran 90% of his laps in the Top 15, had the 2nd best Avg. Driver Rating (116.03), and had a 10.33 Avg. Finish
– Berry led 55% of the 2023 Xfinity Pocono race, won the Pole, Stage 1, and Stage 2, but a last lap wreck caused him to finish 24th
– In the last 3 races at Pocono he has 2 Top 10’s, a Stage T10 in all 6 stages, and he’s led 22% of his laps
Outlook for this weekend
Welcome back to the Xfinity Series Josh Berry, this will be his first Xfinity race of 2024. Last year on Big tracks he was very good, but didn’t always have the results to show for it. One of these instances was at Pocono where he dominated but ended up 24th thanks to misfortune in the last couple of laps. However, overall he’s done well at Pocono in the Xfinity Series, but again doesn’t have great results to show for it. Taking all of this in with the fact he’s in a car that’s so low in Owner Points don’t expect too much from Berry this weekend, and even if he can run well a great result isn’t likely.
