Top Driver Picks for the 2025 Quaker State 400
1. Ryan Blaney (+850)
Ryan Blaney is a +850 favorite after showing strong performances, including a pole position and a fourth-place finish in the February race at EchoPark Speedway. Blaney has had a solid season and is well-positioned for a strong run.
2. Ross Chastain (+2100)
Despite being a longshot at +2100, Ross Chastain is an excellent value pick. Since EchoPark Speedway was reconfigured, the track now favors tight, restrictor-plate-style racing—conditions where Chastain has excelled.
In the past seven races at Atlanta, Chastain has finished in the top 13 six times and even finished second in both races in 2022.
“I know exactly what Scal was talking about when I saw Ross race,” says Mike McClure. Chastain’s consistent performance on similar tracks makes him a key contender.
3. Chase Elliott (+1500)
Chase Elliott, a fan favorite and 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion, has shown strong form in recent races. At EchoPark Speedway, he has eight top-10 finishes in 13 career starts, including a 2022 win. Elliott is 19th in points this season, making him a strong contender for a top-five finish in Atlanta at +250 odds.
