The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Indianapolis for one of the most exciting modern traditions in racing. Since 2021, the sport shared the weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course with the IndyCar series. This delivers more motorsport action, odds, and exciting storylines for racing fans and punters.The sport slowly introduced more road courses ever since the introduction of the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval to the calendar. Adding another dimension to the racing series that typically sees oval courses is a breath of fresh air for both drivers and the audience. That said, Nitrobetting shares some of the undervalued drivers in this article. Check out the top three sleeper picks for the 2022 Verizon 200 at the Brickyard below.
Top Sleeper Picks for the 2022 Verizon 200 At The Brickyard
Ty Gibbs will step in for Kurt Busch in the No. 45 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Driving the No. 2 car for Team Penske is youngster Austin Cindric. The 16th-ranked driver records 496 points in 21 races. Despite a poor performance at Pocono Raceway last weekend, the 23-year-old secured four top-ten finishes in four of his last six races. He’s been on fire recently, and we look forward to another road circuit performance from the talented driver.Cindric needs to do better at holding his position if he wants to make the cut. He has an average start of 12.6 and an average finish of 16.2. With an arsenal of tools and a high ceiling for improvement, we see an aspiring driver that could soon make it to the top of the standings in a few years’ time. As of now, Cindric holds a solid position on our sleeper pick list.
Kevin Harvick
2022 Verizon 200 At The Brickyard Odds: +2500
It’s been a slow year for Harvic so far, but his previous records tell us that he has what it takes to disrupt the frontrunners and make a break for himself. He holds the 17th spot in the standings with 571 points, so there’s some tempo going on for the former Cup Series champion. If he returns to better form, we expect a better performance from the veteran driver.On the season, Harvick secured five top-five finishes and 11 top-ten finishes. Despite finishing 27th at Pocono Raceway last weekend, the Stewart-Haas Racing driver bagged a fifth-place finish at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in the Ambetter 301 event. If Harvick returns to his form earlier this season, which saw him finish second place at the Toyota Owners 400, he makes a solid sleeper pick for Verizon 200.
Aric Almirola
2022 Verizon 200 At The Brickyard Odds: +10000
After two discouraging finishes, McDowell bounced back with a sixth-place finish at Pocono Raceway last Sunday. This gives him momentum as he picked up a top-ten finish in two of his last five starts. His eighth-place finish at Road America plays a notable contribution to his pace as he races Verizon 200 at the Brickyard this weekend.So far, the Front Row Motorsports driver scored 440 points in 21 races. He holds an average start of 18.3 and an average finish of 16.5 this season. But his recent performance at Pocono Raceway impressed everyone. He started at 25th and concluded the event with a sixth-place finish.
