Our Pick for Rackley Roofing 200

After playing in the dirt last Saturday at Knoxville Raceway, the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series heads for Nashville Superspeedway for Friday night’s Rackley Roofing 200.

The 13th of 16 races in the NCWTS regular season, Friday’s event will be contested over 150 laps (199.5 miles) at the 1.33-mile concrete speedway, with stage breaks scheduled after 45 and 95 laps.

Ryan Preece is the defending winner of the race. (+700 at BetMGM)

Ryan Preece Returns to Nashville to Defend His Win in Maiden Truck Race

Before taking to the track in last year’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event at Nashville Superspeedway, Ryan Preece had never raced in the series.

That didn’t prevent him from winning in his debut at the 1.33-mile track, where he beat Todd Gilliland to the finish line by .950 seconds.

Preece will be driving the same truck he raced last year, the No. 17 Ford fielded by David Gilliland Racing, the team co-owned by Todd Gilliland’s father.

The No. 17 is on a roll, having just visited Victory Lane at Knoxville Raceway, with Todd Gilliland behind the wheel.

We think Preece will accomplish two doubles on Friday—his second straight Truck Series win at Nashville and the second straight victory for the No. 17 Ford. At +700 via DraftKings Sportsbook, he’s an excellent value bet.

In five Truck races as a utility player in the Ford camp this year, Preece has finished third, fourth, seventh twice and 11th—and has finished on the lead lap in every race.

Zane Smith May Have Switched Rides, But He Didn’t Leave His Talent Behind

When Ryan Preece won last year’s return to Nashville Superspeedway after a 10-year hiatus, Zane Smith was close behind in second place.

Smith was driving the No. 21 Chevrolet for GMS Racing at the time, and he went on to finish second in the final NASCAR Camping World Truck Series standings.

After a switch to the No. 38 Front Row Motorsports Ford between seasons, Smith’s success has continued unabated. He leads the Truck Series in races won with three and is second in the regular-season standings with three races left before the cutoff for the Playoff.

An uncommonly versatile driver, Smith has scored top-10 finishes in 11 of 13 races—seven of them top fives. If you’re inclined to bet favorites, we like Smith at +500 (DraftKings) over John Hunter Nemechek at +400.

Ben Rhodes Is an Excellent Bet at Nashville, Given Surprisingly Long Odds

Don’t be fooled by Ben Rhodes’ 10th-place finish Last Saturday at Knoxville Raceway. The driver of the No. 99 ThorSport Racing Toyota started third and ran competitively until an overheating issue ruined his winning chances.

And ignore the fact that Rhodes hasn’t had a top-five finish since he won on the Bristol Dirt Track in the sixth race of the season.

Rhodes is laser-focused on winning the regular-season championship and the 15 Playoff points that go with the title. He dropped from first to third in the standings after Knoxville and trails series leader John Hunter Nemechek by 10 points.

Because of his recent issues, Rhodes is listed at +1000 via DraftKings Sportsbook, but we expect a strong showing at Nashville. We also like him to beat Chandler Smith at +100 in head-to-head action.
