BEST BETS: NASCAR KANSAS

My BEST BETS for Kansas Speedway:

Will Kyle Larson assert his dominance again at Kansas? He could surpass 1000 laps led at Kansas Speedway this weekend. Larson has been incredible at Kansas throughout his career with 3 wins and 923 laps led. He is currently the favorite at +370 to win. Any money on Larson is well spent.

Who else is worthy of your dollar? Hamlin, Bell, Chastain, and Logano.

HAMLIN is +600 to win and is nearly as good at Kansas at Larson. He has 5 top5s in his last 7 at Kansas including a win. He also is not a fan of a road courses. His average finish in his last 21 races at road or street courses is 20.1. With the Roval next and only 27 points above the cut line, Denny will certainly be looking to lock himself in to the Round of 8 here at Kansas.

BELL at +900 to win is also a great value. He has led more laps at Kansas in his last 7 than Hamlin and has 3 top5s of his own.

CHASTAIN is +1400 and won this race last year. Trackhouse hasn't been great this year, but Ross is below the cutline and needs a good race here at one of his best tracks.

LOGANO is +1400 to win. He may be a surprise to you because he isn't known as a stud at Kansas. Logano is even worse at road courses though and needs a good race this weekend so that he is safe before the Roval. Joey is as clutch as they come when it comes to the playoffs, so you can expect that 22 car to be very fast.

My bonus pick of the week is Alex Bowman. His worst finish at Kansas since 2021 is 10th. He has no wins at Kansas but is very good. He is a guy that won't just sit back and let the playoff drivers go either. He will race hard and try to prove he still belongs at Hendrick while his three teammates are still competing for a championship. BOWMAN +2500 to win or +380 for a top5.
