Past Winners Provide Betting Value

Kyle Larson is the betting favorite to win this week’s race, but the 29-year old has yet to win this event in his career. If you don’t feel like betting on the favorite, there’s some enticing odds on past winners.

Kevin Harvick is the defending champion at this race track, but yet he’s listed at +800 on the odds list to win. He’s currently sitting in the 16th spot in the standings, so a win today would be much-needed in his chase for the Cup.

Martin Truex Jr. (+450) and Brad Keselowski (+1200) are also past winners of the event, with their wins coming in 2016 and 2018 respectively. Turex Jr. sits in third in the Series Cup standings, while Keselowski sits in 10th.

Denny Hamlin (+550) has won this race twice, once in 2010 and then again in 2017. It’d be hard to argue against betting on him at his current odds today given his experience on this track.
