Pre-Race Predictions: Phoenix

Randy Lanning

    The Instacart 400 at Phoenix is right around the corner, on March 14th, starting at 3:30 PM. You will be able to catch the race on FOX. 

Joey Logano lead the last 24 laps to win the race here in 2020, but could he win the spring race at Phoenix twice in a row? 

Drivers to watch for the win:

• Brad Keselowski [No. 2 Ford / Team Penske] - Keselowski has yet to win in the Cup Series at Phoenix. He has no problem of leading here, as he led a total of 87 laps combined from both of 2020's races here. He just hasn't won here yet. It could change this weekend! Note: Keselowski is starting on the pole.
• Kevin Harvick [No. 4 Ford / Stewart-Haas Racing] - Harvick is a huge threat at Phoenix. He has won a total 9 Cup Races here.
• Kyle Busch [No. 18 Toyota / Joe Gibbs Racing] - Busch has won 4 times here in the Cup Series, 11 times here in the Xfinity Series, and 1-time in the Truck Series. Will he take his first win of 2021 here? We shall see!
• Denny Hamlin [No. 11 Toyota / Joe Gibbs Racing] - Hamlin has two wins here, so he might snag a victory here this weekend, but who knows? I could be wrong!

Drivers to have good finishes here (And maybe win!):

• Christopher Bell [No. 20 Toyota / Joe Gibbs Racing]
• Erik Jones [No. 43 Chevrolet / Richard Petty Motorsports]
• Daniel Suarez [No. 99 Chevrolet / Trackhouse Racing]
• Ryan Newman [No. 6 Ford / Roush-Fenway Racing]
