The 2025 NASCAR Xfinity Series season heads to the Darlington Raceway for the season’s eighth race, the Sport Clips Haircuts VFW Help A Hero 200. Ahead of the race, NASCAR insider Bob Pockrass shared his prediction, picking his favorite to win and top-five finishes at the 2025 Xfinity Series Sport Clips Haircuts VFW Help A Hero 200.
Pockrass picked 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion Chase Elliott to take the checkered flag at Darlington on Saturday, April 5. Elliott, who drives the #9 Chevrolet full-time for Hendrick Motorsports in the Cup Series, is making his first start of the season in the Xfinity Series.
Pockrass’ remaining top five predictions are the defending series champion, Justin Allgaier; Cup Series regular Ross Chastain; Taylor Gray; and Cup regular Christopher Bell.
