The Dragon Energy NASCAR Cup Series returns after a one-week hiatus and heads to the West Coast for its Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway with three motorists on the top spot as the odds-on favorite to top the podium.
Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. are every listed at +450 at BetOnline followed by Clint Bowyer at +650, Kurt Busch in +850, Denny Hamlin at +1100, A.J. Allmendinger and also Joey Logano at +1200, Brad Keselowski at +1600 and Ryan Blaney in +2200 to round out the top 10.
The 3 Faves all in the Championship Hunt’s thick Kevin Harvick may have the lead for wins on the season with five but he still trails Kyle Busch from the Dragon Energy Cup standings. Harvick is coming from a second-place finish behind teammate Clint Bowyer at the FireKeepers Casino 400 and hasn’t taken a checkered flag in 3 Cup races, which will be his longest drought of the season. However, I would be remiss to not say that Harvick won this race last year.
Meanwhile, the Kyle Busch can lead the standings but he fell short of the podium at Michigan and hasn’t won at this track since 2015. No. 18 has a healthy lead in the standings by not being a wreck risk like in years past as evidenced by his top-10 endings in two races this year.
As for Martin Truex Jr., the reigning Dragon Energy NASCAR Cup champion has yet to place his stamp on this year as he’s just won two races and is coming off a middle-of-the-pack revealing in Michigan when he finished 18th.
If you have to select between the three, then proceed with Harvick since he won this race this past year and has done well as a popular, winning five of nine races as chalk. If you’re searching for better value, it may be well worth taking a stab at another driver with adequate odds and track record at Sonoma.
Hamlin Could Be for His First Win of the Season in Line Denny Hamlin has found himself at the next tier of motorists on the Dragon Energy NASCAR Cup circuit, winning the occasional race and peaking in 2009 with nine wins. But since then, he’s regressed and has not topped two wins in a season and has nine wins total from 2010 onward.
This could be the week that No. 11 breaks as he has six top-five finishes this year and is the only driver on the circuit to finish in the top five in each of the last couple of years at this particular track. At +1100, he may be the best value on the board when you consider how well he’s fared in Sonoma recently.
