Best NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Bets for the DQS Solutions & Staffing 250 in Michigan

As if the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series wasn't aggressive enough already, that'll get kicked up a notch Saturday in Michigan.

Cup Series instigators Ross Chastain and Carson Hocevar are both in the field, and they've shown pace already in 2025. Hocevar won Kansas, and Chastain was runner-up in Charlotte. That means we may get their spicy form of racing right up front, battling Corey Heim for the win.

Because the Truck Series tends to have a high-ish incident rate at these faster tracks (even before adding Chastain and Hocevar into the mix), I think the value lies deeper in the pack. It might require a little chaos, but these drivers are in trucks that have enough giddy-up to at least put them in position to capitalize should the brown stuff hit the fan.

Let's start by running through my model's pre-practice simulations, and then we can outline the bets I like in FanDuel Sportsbook's NASCAR Truck Series betting odds.

(UPDATE: The simulations have since been updated after Friday's practice session.)

NASCAR Truck Series Predictions for Michigan

NASCAR Truck Series Betting Picks for Michigan

• Kaden Honeycutt (+2100): Honeycutt keeps knocking on the door of a breakthrough. After fourth-place finishes in both Kansas races last year, he was third in Charlotte and sixth in Nashville this year with a fifth-place average running position in both races. I've been chasing Honeycutt to no avail for a while, but those quality runs have me begging for one more round of punishment.
  • UPDATE: Honeycutt had decent speed in practice on Friday, so he has gone up to 5.7% in my model's simulations. This would make him still a value as long as he re-opens at +1700 or longer.
• Daniel Hemric (+3100): Although Hemric hasn't had amazing pace on the high-speed tracks this year, he has still managed good finishes. He was top-five in Homestead, Texas, and Nashville with that Texas finish being a runner-up. Hemric generally ran well on the big, fast tracks in his Cup Series days, so I think buying low at +3100 makes sense.
  • UPDATE: Hemric -- for whatever reason -- didn't have great pace in Friday's practice session. Thus, he's down to 2.4% to win for me, which would make the +3100 a bad value. I'll want to see how he qualifies Saturday because teams can make adjustments to the trucks Friday afternoon, but it wasn't a rousing start to Hemric's weekend.
