The 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season is set to electrify fans as it heads to the Talladega Superspeedway for the Ag-Pro 300, the season’s 11th race. Scheduled for Saturday, April 26, NASCAR insider Bob Pockrass has identified JR Motorsports driver Justin Allgaier as the frontrunner to secure victory at this highly anticipated event.
Allgaier, driving the #7 Chevrolet SS for Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s co-owned team, is in his 10th season with JR Motorsports. Pockrass noted that alongside Allgaier, the top five predictions include the defending champion Jesse Love, Austin Hill, Matt DiBenedetto, and Aric Almirola, all of whom bring their own strengths to the track.
In his assessment, Pockrass shared his excitement on social media, stating, “Justin Allgaier, the defending Xfinity Series champion, has had another impressive title defense season. With two wins, seven top-five finishes, and seven top-10 finishes in just ten races, he boasts an average finish of 8.6.” At 38 years old, the Springfield, Illinois native is looking to snag his third victory of the season.
The Ag-Pro 300 will kick off at 4 PM ET on Saturday, where fans can catch the live action on CW and MRN radio. While Allgaier stands tall as a strong favorite, Richard Childress Racing’s Austin Hill has emerged as the current top contender with +275 odds. Close behind are Pockrass’ pick, Jesse Love, and Sheldon Creed, listed at +700 and +1200 odds, respectively.
With the race on the horizon, the atmosphere is buzzing with optimism over the significance of this event. Aside from showcasing the speed and skill of high-caliber drivers, the outcomes at Talladega could shape the trajectory for the rest of the season, delivering excitement and fierce competition in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Fans and teams alike are eager to see if JR Motorsports, led by Allgaier, can claim another remarkable victory.
