Nick Sanchez leads Daniel Dye by two points with only one race left in the ARCA Menards Series season. Who will win the championship at Toledo Speedway?
Mark Kristl: While Daniel Dye has run better than Nick Sanchez on short tracks, Sanchez has run well at Toledo and he must finish within two spots of Dye to claim the title. While Dye will finish ahead of Sanchez at the end, Sanchez will finish two positions behind Dye. As a result, the season will end in a tie in the standings, with Sanchez claiming the title via the tiebreaker of wins (Sanchez has three and Dye has zero).
Luken Glover: It is going to be a chess match between the two for the title. Dye has five consecutive top-five finishes, while Sanchez has finished outside the top five in the last two races. However, Sanchez has proven to be able to close races with three wins this season. Dye has a goose egg in that column. When all is said and done, I’m going with Sanchez to pull off a nailbiter.
Mike Neff: Toledo is a physical track that can lead to a lot of tight racing and paint trading. Don’t forget the incredible turn of events years ago that led to Justin Allgaier winning the ARCA title over Scott Speed and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Dye has been none too shy about getting physical. That will probably serve him well to win the title.
Anthony Damcott: Sanchez has let the past few races get away from him with poor finishes (some out of his control), so he needs to be able to shake that off and finish the deal. However, Dye only needs to finish two spots ahead of Sanchez to draw even, and with a championship on the line, Dye will not be afraid to use the bumper to get Sanchez out of the way or move his competitors to gain a spot on Sanchez. It would be interesting to see Dye win his first race of the year to secure the championship. I’m going with Dye winning it all.
Silly season has begun to wrap up in both the NASCAR Cup and Xfinity series. Who’s the best driver currently without a ride right now for 2023 who should have one?
Glover: There aren’t too many big names or exciting prospects out there, but a few still remain. The one I’m looking at closely is Carson Hocevar. Rumors have circulated about him going to Cup, Xfinity or staying in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. No, he hasn’t won yet, but he has made that Niece Motorsports truck a contender for the first time since Ross Chastain in 2019. Whether Hocevar stays with Niece or explores opportunities elsewhere, he…
