Ty Gibbs +450- Gibbs will fire off alongside Jeremy Clements from the 14th position on Saturday afternoon for the race the Charlotte ROVAL. 15 starts on the season to date for Ty in the Xfinity Series and has come away 8 top 5 finishes and 3 wins.

Ty followed up with a solid 3rd place finish at Mid-Ohio in the Xfinity race. Disappointment followed however as Ty finished 33rd after transmission issues forced an early retirement from the Xfinity race at Road America in July. Look for Gibbs to have a great run on Saturday afternoon.

Hemric has 2 career starts at the Charlotte ROVAL, coming home 10th in the 2018 Xfinity race and 3rd in 2020.  Hemric has been very solid at the road courses on the 2021 Xfinity season most notably a 3rd place finish at the Daytona Road Course and a 2nd place finish at Road America in July. Hemric sitting 41 points above the cut line in the 3rd spot of the Round of 12 heading into Saturday’s race, look for a solid race.

Jeb Burton +5000- Jeb will start from the 7th position on Saturday afternoon in the Drive For The Cure 250. Big price here on Jeb heading into Saturday’s event and sitting just 9 points below the cut line to get into the Round of 8 of the 2021 Xfinity Playoffs Jeb needs a great run. Burton has 3 top 10 finishes in the 6 road course events on the Xfinity schedule to date including a 5th place finish at the Daytona Road Course in February. Saturday marks the first time Jeb will start an Xfinity race at the Charlotte ROVAL but with the urgency to win and get in, sprinkle some action here on the big longshot.
