I think Christopher Bell will win this weekend and punch his ticket to Homestead. He was fast at Texas in April, finishing 2nd (the highest-finishing Xfinity driver in that race.) Plus, he really needs a good run because of what happened at Kansas.

In the full season standings, Bell held a slim 8-point lead over Hemric heading into Texas. But after encountering trouble, Bell dropped to 4th as Hemric takes a narrow 1-point lead over Custer, today's winner. Allgaier is still very much in the mix as well, 7 points back, and Sadler rounds out the top 5, 22 points out of the lead.
With two races to go, can Bell, the series' winningest driver this season, gain those 14 points back and win the title? Or will someone in the current top 3 take home the championship? If only there were no playoffs, we would have an intense, fully-natural title fight that would rival what we witnessed in 2003.
