Who is going to win the Quaker State 400?
KYLE BUSCH (+650 for Sunday's race) has had a surprisingly difficult season, failing to win any of the 16 races. However, he has three runner-up finishes and seven top-5 showings so far. He led 100 laps at Bristol on May 31, but a total of just 16 laps in the seven races since. Despite those struggles, he has dominated at Kentucky in the past.
Busch has three straight top-5 runs at Kentucky, and he leads all drivers with a 4.7 Average-Finish Position (AFP) in nine Kentucky starts. He has eight top-10 showings with two victories.
BRAD KESELOWSKI (+800) leads everyone with three wins in the first nine Kentucky races, including a win from the pole in 2014. Two of his past three starts at the track have been adventures, finishing 39th in 2017 and 20th last season. He is also second to Kyle Busch (621) with 524 laps led all time at the track.

KEVIN HARVICK (+450) has won two of his past three races, including last week's thriller at Indy. 'Happy' went off the rails with a 22nd-place finish last season at Kentucky, but before that, he had a string of six consecutive top-10 showings. His 10.8 AFP in nine Kentucky starts is fourth-best among all active drivers.

ERIK JONES (+2500) is a tremendous value at this price as he has finishes of sixth, seventh and third in three-career Cup starts at the track. That third-place run came last season, and he is second to teammate Kyle Busch among active drivers in AFP at Kentucky (minimum three starts).
KURT BUSCH (+2000) won last season's race at Kentucky, so why not again? He is fifth among active drivers with a 10.8 AFP in nine starts, including two top-5 runs, six top-10 showings and 137 laps led. Before his win last season, he was sixth in 2018. He now has four top-10 showings in his past five Kentucky starts. At this price he is a solid value and worth a small-unit wager.

Quaker State 400
July 13, 2019
7:30 PM ET
Televised by NBC
The NASCAR season moves on to its 9th race of the season. The Quaker State 400 will be run on Saturday, July 3, 2019, at the Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Kentucky. The track is a 1.5-mile tri-oval that first opened on June 16, 2000. Its attendance capacity is 69,000 fans. Martin Truex Jr. has won this event the past two seasons.
Let's look at some of the competitors that will likely give Truex a difficult time winning here again.
Brad Keselowski didn't do well at Daytona last week and finished in a dismal 39th place after getting 5th at the Chicagoland Speedway the week before that. History shows Keselowski has finished well in Kentucky with three wins and six top ten finishes in ten races. As a 3-time winner (2012,2014,2016), he has to be in the conversation to win it again.
Kyle Busch needs to retain his hot race of earlier this year. In the past two affairs, he has finished 14th in Daytona and 22nd in Chicago. He has bounced back before this season as he was 30th in Kansas and then went scorching hot with a five-race streak of good finishes. Last season Kyle Busch finished fourth in this race.
Ryan Blaney almost won this last year and finished in second place. The Penske team has always had good success at the Kentucky Speedway so that translates well for this driver. Don't count him out for this one.
Joey Logano is certainly capable of winning every week. However, with that said, he has never won on this track but has finished in the top ten five times and was a second-place finisher in 2015.
Kevin Harvick has six consecutive top ten finishes and has enough 'hotness' to win this race. He has no wins in Kentucky. He has some things to work out with his team to be a top contender.
Erik Jones has two starts on this track and they got him a sixth and a seventh place. He has the ability to win in Kentucky. He loves night races and this gives him the advantage to sneak into the winners' circle.
Daniel Suarez is due to win. He is 17th in the standings after a 40th place finish last week in Daytona. The motivation for him is he is 3 points out of the playoff picture. His history in Kentucky has him finishing well in two starts.
