Well, it’s been three weeks since an Xfinity outlook has been done. In those weeks we’ve seen Sheldon Creed break the record for most 2nd place finishes in the Xfinity Series before first win, Ryan Truex get his 2nd win of 2024, and last week CBell come in and dominate the Xfinity guys to win. Next up we head to Atlanta where this Spring Jesse Love dominated the race, but fuel dominated the headlines. I have picked 5 notable drivers to look at, 1 based on 2024 season stats, 1 based on Superspeedway stats, 1 based on the last Atlanta race, 1 based on their Atlanta 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 23 races since the Playoffs started in 2016. We will also highlight notable streaks accomplished through the year and at Atlanta, 2024 Superspeedway (drafting tracks) statistics and Atlanta 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: none

Main Points & Outlook
– Justin Allgaier is notable because he’s 1st in points heading to Atlanta
– Last week at Darlington Allgaier got 10 Stage Pts and ran 95% of his laps in the Top 15 en route to a 10th place finish, keeping his Top 10 streak alive
– This year he has the 3rd best Avg. Finish (12.35), the 2nd best Avg. Driver Rating and Laps in Top15%, and he’s tied for the most Stage Wins thru 23 races in Xfinity Series history (13)
– He is on an active 8 race Top 10 streak and an 11 straight Stage T10 streak
– At Atlanta he is currently on a 4 straight Stage T10 streak and from 2018-2021 he had a 5 race Top 10 finish streak here
– In the 4 Superspeedway races this year he has a best finish of just 7th with just 2 Top 10’s in the 4 races, but he has gotten 4.75 Stage Pts Per Stage
– This Spring at Atlanta Allgaier ran 166 of his 167 laps in the Top 15 and got 13 Stage Pts, but he was one of the drivers that ran out of fuel causing him to finish 28th, 2 laps down
– In the last 9 Xfinity races at Atlanta he has a 14.67 Avg. Finish with 1 Win, 5 Top 10’s, 13 Stage T10’s, and he’s ran 92% of his laps in the Top 15
Outlook for this weekend
Justin Allgaier has been on a hot streak of late as he’s finished 8 straight races in the Top 10 and on the year he’s been the Stage King as he leads every 2024 stage category above. However, this weekend is a Superspeedway where, despite being good in stages, he’s been lacking in terms of finishes. That includes this Spring at Atlanta where he ran well but ran out of fuel late to finish bad, but in the last 9 races here he’s done well in stages and finished in the Top 10 more times than not. So, with this said expect good stages from Allgaier this weekend, but don’t be surprised if that Top 10 streak comes to an end.

Main Points & Outlook
– Cole Custer is notable because of his 2024 season stats thru 23 races
– Last week at Darlington Custer ran 93% of his laps in the Top 15 and got 7 Stage Pts en route to a 2nd place finish, but he led 0 laps as well
– In 2024 he has the best Avg. Finish (10.04), Laps in Top 15% (87.55%), Avg. Driver Rating (105.6); the most Top 10’s (17); and the fewest finishes out of the Top 20 (3)
– Earlier this year he had a 2 race Top 3 streak and a 9 race Top 10 streak, but he also had a 2 race DNF streak going into last week
– The only notable streaks he’s had at Atlanta are 3 different 2 straight Stage T10 streaks and an active 1 straight Stage T10 “streak”
– He’s only had 1 Top 10 in the 4 Superspeedway races this year while getting just 1.63 Stage Pts Per Stage, but he does have the 8th best Avg. Driver Rating (88.25)
– At Atlanta this Spring Custer ran 94% of his laps in the Top 15 and had a 9.5 Avg. Stage Finish, but he was one of the drivers to run out of fuel as he finished 16th
– He’s raced in 4 of the last 9 Xfinity Atlanta races earning an 8.25 Avg. Finish with 2 Top 3’s, 3.88 Stage Pts Per Stage, and his worst finish is only 16th
Outlook for this weekend
Cole Custer got a much needed 2nd place finish at Darlington last week as his 2 previous races ended in a DNF, but there is good news when looking at his 2024 stats overall as his only finishes out of the Top 20 are DNF’s. However, with this week being a Superspeedway don’t expect too much as he’s not ran or finished great in the 4 races this year. Then again, he was doing well at Atlanta this Spring before the fuel situations, and overall he’s done well here the last 5 years. In all, don’t expect greatness from Custer this weekend, but if he can finish expect it to be in the Top 20.

Main Points & Outlook
– Austin Hill is notable because of his incredible Xfinity stats here at Atlanta
– Hill ran all 150 laps in the Top 15 last week at Darlington and got 13 Stage Pts, but he led 0 laps and ended up 9th at the finish
– He has 2 Wins, 4 Top 2’s, 8 Top 5’s, and 14 Top 10’s this year to just 5 finishes out of the Top 20 and the 3rd best Avg. Driver Rating (96.33)
– He’s had lots of notable streaks this year including a 2 race Win streak, a 5 race Top 5 streak, and an 11 straight Stage T10 streak
– At Atlanta he once won 2 straight races, 2 straight stages, and until the last race he had an 8 straight Stage T10 streak
– In the 4 Superspeedway races he has an 11.75 Avg. Finish with 2 Wins, but also just 2 Top 10’s and he’s ran just 75% of his laps in the Top 15
– Hill was able to save more fuel than anyone in the Spring Atlanta race as he was able to win, in addition he ran all 169 laps in the Top 15 and had the 2nd best Driver Rating
– All 5 of his races here have come on the Superspeedway style track, and in the 5 races he’s won 3 times, has a worst finish of only 12th, and has finished 9 of 10 stages in the Top 10
Outlook for this weekend
Austin Hill started the year off with 2 straight wins, but those are his only wins and he hasn’t finished in the Top 5 since Nashville in late June. However, overall his stats have been pretty good this year, and they could get better with a Superspeedway on the docket. On Superspeedway this year he’s ran decent and has 2 wins, but his other finishes are out of the Top 10. Then again, this is Atlanta where Hill has won 3 of the last 5 races, including the last race here, and he’s ran great in the last 5 races as well. Overall, expect Hill to break his Top 5-less streak this weekend, running well the entire race and finishing well also.

– All 5 of his races here have come on the Superspeedway style track, and in the 5 races he’s won 3 times, has a worst finish of only 12th, and has finished 9 of 10 stages in the Top 10
Outlook for this weekend
Austin Hill started the year off with 2 straight wins, but those are his only wins and he hasn’t finished in the Top 5 since Nashville in late June. However, overall his stats have been pretty good this year, and they could get better with a Superspeedway on the docket. On Superspeedway this year he’s ran decent and has 2 wins, but his other finishes are out of the Top 10. Then again, this is Atlanta where Hill has won 3 of the last 5 races, including the last race here, and he’s ran great in the last 5 races as well. Overall, expect Hill to break his Top 5-less streak this weekend, running well the entire race and finishing well also.

Main Points & Outlook
– Sheldon Creed is notable because of his stats on Superspeedway’s this year
– At Darlington Creed got 16 Stage Pts and his 1st Stage Win of the year, he also led 30 laps and ran all but 1 lap in the Top 15. However, heartbreak happened again as a late caution caused him to finish 3rd instead of 1st
– He has the 4th best Avg. Finish this year (12.39) and has the most Top 5’s of anyone (11), but he only has 25 Stage T10’s and just 138 Stage Pts
– Currently he is on a 5 race Top 10 streak and a 5 straight Stage T10 streak
– His only notable Atlanta streaks are also current streaks, his 1 race Top 5 “streak” and 7 straight Stage T10 streak
– He’s finished between 2nd and 8th in all 4 Superspeedway races this year while also having a 9.13 Avg. Stage Finish, but he’s only ran 73% of his laps in the Top 15
– The Spring Atlanta race wasn’t great for Creed as he ran just 55% of his laps in the Top 15, but he did get 3 Stage Pts and ended up 4th at the finish
– His only 5 races here have come on the Superspeedway Atlanta, and in the races he has 2 Top 10’s with a 16.2 Avg. Finish. However, he does have 8 Stage T10’s and 4.7 Stage Pts Per Stage here
Outlook for this weekend
Sheldon Creed has been on quite the streak of late as he’s finished 7 of the last 10 races in the Top 10, including 3 2nd place finishes. This has helped his 2024 stats be some of the best, but where he’s struggled is stages. However, this weekend is a Superspeedway and there hasn’t been much he’s struggled at on these tracks this year as he’s done good in stages and great in finishes. Then again this is Atlanta where, despite a 4th place finish this Spring, he didn’t run well and overall hasn’t finished well in his 5 races. In total, expect Creed’s hot streak to cool off a little since this is Atlanta, but based on his Superspeedway stats this year don’t be surprised if he ends up in victory lane.

Main Points & Outlook
– Jesse Love is notable because of how he dominated the Spring Atlanta race
– At Darlington Love got 0 Stage Pts and only ran 71% of his laps in the Top 15, but he was there when it mattered as he finished the race in 6th
– His worst 2024 Rank above is only T10th (19 Stage T10’s), also he is tied for most Poles this year (3), and he has the 3rd most Stage Wins (4)
– Earlier this year he had a 2 race Top 5 streak, a 6 race Top 10 streak, and a 2 straight Stage Win streak; but his best Stage T10 streak this year is just 3 stages
– In terms of Atlanta streaks he is on a 1 race Pole “streak” and a 2 straight Stage Win streak
– He has 1 Win in the 4 Superspeedway races this year, but also just 1 Top 10. However, he’s led 43% of his laps and has won half the stages this year while running 80% of his laps in the Top 15
– Love DOMINATED the Spring Atlanta race leading 93% of his laps, running every lap in the Top 15, and winning both stages; but running out of fuel late caused him to finish 12th
– This is his only Xfinity Atlanta race and thus the only stats to add are that he won the Pole and had an impressive 135.5 Driver Rating
Outlook for this weekend
Jesse Love has had an impressive rookie season when looking at the 2024 stats above, but it’s been rocky of late as he’s finished 10 of the last 13 races out of the Top 10. However, he is coming off a Top 10 at Darlington and we are headed to a Superspeedway where he’s won half the stages, but he’s only finished 1 of the 4 races in the Top 10. That one Top 10 was a win, but it did not come at Atlanta this Spring. However, he dominated his only Atlanta start, this Spring, leading over 90% of the laps, but unfortunately no fuel caused him to finish 12th. All in all, expect Love to be fast this weekend and be up front all day, but don’t be shocked if he finishes out of the Top 10 yet again.
