Following a chaotic high-speed weekend at Daytona, NASCAR is back at a 1.5-mile track this season, and Kevin Harvick, obviously, is your 2/1 favorite to win at Kentucky Speedway on Saturday night.
It is the seventh time this year the Cup Series has raced in a 1.5-mile track, also Harvick owns a 1.6 average end on those layouts (excluding his mess at Charlotte). While he’s never won at Kentucky, Harvick does have the third-best driver rating in the track supporting Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski.

Kyle Busch has won the past two 1.5-mile races in dominating fashion and directed 112 laps last season at Kentucky. He is our pick to win Saturday night, while 20/1 motorists Keselowski and Ryan Blaney are worth fliers.
