Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series
Quaker State 400

Odds to Win Race

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will be in Kentucky for the Quaker State 400 this weekend. The drivers will be racing on a Saturday for the second straight week, and last week’s race in Daytona was surely eventful. There were a number of wrecks in that one, and caution flags pretty much occupied the entire race. In the end, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. emerged as the winner. Looking forward to this week, Brad Keselowski is a guy that is going to be more than excited here. Keselowski has won the Quaker State 400 three times in his career, and he was the winner when the drivers competed here a year ago. Another guy that has won more than once here is Kyle Busch. Busch was the winner in both 2011 and 2015, and the only other driver to have won this race is Matt Kenseth. This is only the seventh time this race will happen, so it’s still very new. With that out of the way, let’s now take a look at some of the best values for Saturday:

Brad Keselowski (5-to-1) - As mentioned earlier, Brad Keselowki has been the best driver when competing in Sparta. Keselowski has already won the Quaker State 400 three times in his career, and that is really impressive when considering the fact that there has only been six of these races in total. And it’s not like Keselowski is only good in Kentucky. He is one of the best drivers in the world, and he has already won two races this season. Look for him to give himself a great chance to make it three on Saturday, and don’t miss out on his 5-to-1 odds.

Kyle Busch (5-to-1) - Like Keselowski, Kyle Busch has also had some tremendous success at the Quaker State 400. Busch has not won three times like Keselowski, but he does have two victories here. He won in both 2011 and 2015, and it’s not like he was bad here a year ago. Busch came in 12th in this race in 2016, and it’s likely that he’ll bounce right back and be a contender this year. At 5-to-1 odds, he is certainly capable of paying out nicely. And he has been driving well lately, finishing inside the top-10 in three of his past four races.

Joey Logano (18-to-1) - The past few months have been miserable for Logano, as he has finished outside of the top 20 in six of the past eight races heading into this one. Logano is, however, far too good of a driver to stay down for long. He still has a victory this season, and he is one of the best talents in the sport right now. He also has had some success in the Quaker State 400, as he finished in second in this race back in 2015. Expect him to make a push to win this one, and don’t miss out on backing him at 18-to-1.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (100-to-1) - It has been quite the season for Stenhouse Jr, who is coming off of his second win of the year last week. Stenhouse Jr. shocked a lot of people by winning at Daytona, and he has proven that he is an emerging force on the Monster Energy Cup Series. With that being the case, it’s quite odd that Stenhouse Jr. is getting 100-to-1 odds here. While it’s not common to win two races in a row, it’s worth taking a shot on a confident driver like him here.
