Allgaier is the current points leader with 730 points, but Zilisch is making a move as he sits second with 674 points despite missing a race due to injury. Sam Mayer is third in points, while RCR teammates Austin Hill and Jesse Love are fourth and fifth. Last year, Riley Herbst won this race. Now racing full-time in the NASCAR Cup Series, we won't have a repeat winner, though Allgaier, who won this race in 2018, could become only the second Xfinity Series driver to win multiple times here, following Kyle Busch, who has four Xfinity Series wins at the track. Almirola, who races part-time in the series, will be in the No. 19 again this weekend, while former NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson will be in the Hendrick Motorsports No. 17 car.

BetMGM Bonus Code WIREBG150: Bet $10, Win $150 in Bonus Bets for UFC, MLB & More
This week's UFC Fight Night is more like UFC Fight Afternoon because today's action starts at noon Eastern Time in Abu Dhabi. You don't have to go halfway around the world to enjoy a piece of the action — you just need two minutes to create an account with the BetMGM bonus code WIREBG150 that earns you $150 in bonus bets when you win a $10 first bet. Yes, it's this simple. If you're a new bettor playing in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania or West Virginia, you'll collect three $50 bonus bets (plus your profit) just for winning your $10 first bet. If you're a new bettor in any other state, you'll use the BetMGM bonus code SBWIRE to guarantee yourself a protected first bet up to $1,500. This is BetMGM having your back on what's known as the biggest of all sportsbook promos out there. The main event for today's UFC Fight Night is a middleweight showdown between Australia's Robert Whittaker (27-8) and the Netherlands' Reinier de Ridder (20-2). The 34-year-old Whittaker owned the championship belt seven years ago and is climbing back up the rankings in hopes of another title shots. The 34-year-old de Ridder made a big splash two months ago when he knocked out Bo Nickal in the second round to hand Nickal his first loss. According to the latest odds on the BetMGM app — one of the leading sports betting apps — Whittaker opened the week as a slight favorite, but make sure to check it closer to fight time for the current odds. There are several other bouts on today's card that are pretty much even, which includes the flyweight fight between Kazakhstan's Asu Almabayev (21-3) and Peru's Jose Ochoa (8-1). To be ready for everything on today's schedule — UFC, MLB, WNBA and more — click any BET NOW button you see, answer a few questions and then type in either the BetMGM bonus code WIREBG150 or the BetMGM bonus code SBWIRE to activate your powerful welcome offer. BetMGM Bonus Code: Get $150 in Bonus Bets or $1500 First-Bet Offer Sometimes in Major League Baseball, there's a chance to enjoy a showdown you can remember for the rest of your life. Tonight at Fenway Park, fans get to witness one of the greatest lefties of all-time facing one of the two greatest lefties pitching today as Los Angeles Dodgers legend Clayton Kershaw takes on the Boston Red Sox's Garrett Crochet. FOX is broadcasting the game to most of the nation and the BetMGM app is bringing the best odds to bettors everywhere. If you take a spin around the BetMGM app, you'll see odds on two WNBA games (including the Los Angeles Sparks at the defending champion New York Liberty), multiple golf tournaments (including the 3M Open near Minneapolis/St. Paul), plenty of MLS matches (including Lionel Messi and Inter Miami visiting league-leading FC Cincinnati) and much more. To play on any of the sports listed above — or to get a jump start on NFL action — you need just two minutes to create a BetMGM account. Remember, if you're in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania or West Virginia, you'll type in the BetMGM bonus code WIREBG150 to get $150 in bonus bets just for winning a $10 first bet. If you're going to play anywhere else, use the BetMGM bonus code SBWIRE to gain one protected first bet up to $1,500.
