Outlaws seemed a bit off in 2021-22 Nationally with Larson, Marks and Lance all winning Crown Jewels in that period. But even then they still scored 5 of the 6 podiums at the Nationals. This year they seem to be back to the normal levels so unless something weird happens on Saturday it's going to be tough for anyone other than Larson (and maybe Rico who's never been that good there) to beat them.

Rico has said many time Knoxville is a tough track for him compared to others and he has not ran there this year much at all. But I will say I think he has greatly improved there. He won a feauture there a year or so ago (not against the outlaws) but still it shows he can get it done. He has looked excellent this year elsewhere. I'd call him a dark horse with a legit shot of top 10 easy.

Rico, has a shot this year if he listens to Ricky Warner
I'd love to see Brown win it, but it seems like every year the pressure of the nats get him
Reutzel, Yea he will be fast, but the car will be coming back all balled up because he does a bone head move
I'm not counting out Logan in the shark racing ride, late in that race, for the guys that set there cars up correct the bottom is the place to be.
Gravel, Macedo, Sweet and Logan on the outlaw side are your top 5 w my outsider being Buddy K in the 83jr.

Buddy got 8th last Saturday and looked pretty average. Wouldn't be my pick but I suppose it's possible. If Logan got it done... what A year for that team. I think he is very capable. Reutzel for some reason hasn't looked as good in a 410 and hasn't been timing that great. He could make the main but I wouldn't lay money on him doing much over that. I would be happy for him if he did it though even though most don't like him I think he's fun to watch.
