Kansas Speedway, Kansas City, KS
Sportsbook.ag Odds to Win the Race
The Sprint Cup drivers will be heading to Kansas City for the Hollywood Casino 400 on Sunday. Only two races remain until the next round of the Chase and a ton of drivers find themselves in a position where they must come away with a victory.
Kansas Speedway is one of the more exciting tracks on the circuit, running 1.5 miles and featuring 17-20 degree turns. This track is also the home of the SpongeBob SquarePants 400, which was won by Jimmie Johnson in May. All of the drivers who finished in the top four at that race drove cars manufactured by Chevrolet. Let’s now take a look at who may come away with the win in this one:
Matt Kenseth (+700) - Matt Kenseth has won two of his past five races, but he finished 42nd in Charlotte a week ago and will now likely need a top finish in order to get himself into the next round of the Chase. Earlier in the season, Kenseth finished in sixth at the SpongeBob SquarePants 400 at this racetrack. He has also won at Kansas Speedway in his career and is receiving some solid odds at 7-to-1. Putting a few units on a desperate driver with the talent of Kenseth is a solid move this weekend.
Carl Edwards (+1000) - Edwards has been racing extremely well over the past few months and has now racked up eight top 10 finishes in the past 10 races. Kansas Speedway also happens to be Edwards’ home track and he has picked up top 10 finishes in 10 of his past 15 appearances at it. With his familiarity with this track and excellent form lately, Edwards is as good a pick as any to win this race at +1000.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. (+2000) - Dale Earnhardt Jr., like Kenseth, needs to win one of the next two races to advance. He is currently 11th in the Sprint Cup Chase standings and is right on the cutoff line. Kansas Speedway hasn’t been too kind to Earnhardt Jr. in his career, but he showed some serious signs of improvement earlier this season. Earnhardt Jr. finished in third place at the SpongeBob SquarePants 400 and will be looking to improve upon that with a win on Sunday.
Jeff Gordon (+2500) - Gordon has finished in the top 10 at two of the past three races and three of the past five. He is in good form heading into this race and finished in fourth at the SpongeBob SquarePants 400 this year. Gordon was also the winner of that race in 2014. It’s difficult to imagine a full season in which Gordon does not tally at least one victory and he is running out of chances. He is, however, an excellent play at 25-to-1 and it’s worth taking a chance on him to notch his first win.
