NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
GoBowling 400

Odds to Win Race

The drivers head to Kansas Speedway for this year’s GoBowling 400 on Saturday. This race may not hold the significance of last season’s All-Star event that took place here, but the drivers are still going to come into this one with plenty of motivation. Brad Keselowski is one guy that people will need to keep an eye on at this 1.5-mile, asphalt track. He won last week’s Geico 500 and also happened to be the winner of this race back in 2011. This race will also feature something of a rivalry between Hendrick Motorsports and Joe Gibbs Racing. Each team has won this race twice in its five-year existence and a win on Saturday would give that team the most ever at the GoBowling 400. With that out of the way, let’s now look at a few good picks tow in this race on Saturday:

Jimmie Johnson (5-to-1) - Johnson is a heavy favorite to win the GoBowling 400 on Saturday, but it’s certainly justifiable. Johnson was the winner of this race a year ago and he has also had a ton of success on this track in his career. He’s a three-time winner at Kansas Speedway and that experience is going to serve him well this weekend. Johnson has also had a very good season thus far, as he has already won twice on the year. The fact that he’s coming off of a poor outing will only fuel him to come in and win this thing. He’s worth putting a few units on at 5-to-1.

Matt Kenseth (8-to-1) - Kenseth is another guy that doesn’t necessarily have great odds but is worth picking this weekend. Kenseth won the GoBowling 400 back in 2013 and he also has one other win at Kansas Speedway to his name. It’s also worth noting that Kenseth has not yet won a race this season. That is very uncharacteristic for him, as he won five races back in 2015. He is due for a victory soon and there’s no reason to believe that he won’t be able to do it at a track that he is very comfortable driving on.

Brad Keselowski (12-to-1) - Keselowski has been excellent this season, as he has already won two races on the year. As previously mentioned, he is coming off of a win at the Geico 500 and he also won the GoBowling 400 back in 2011. Those victories mean that Keselowski is coming into this race as both the hottest driver in the Sprint Cup Series and also one with familiarity winning on this track. He’s getting some very favorable odds at 12-to-1 and is worth putting a unit or two on Saturday.

Chase Elliott (15-to-1) - Elliott has looked like the furthest thing from a rookie recently and it’s only a matter of time before he notches his first ever Sprint Cup Series victory. The young, emerging superstar has finished in the top-five at three of the past four races coming into this one and is worth a serious look on Saturday. There weren’t many appealing darkhorse picks when looking at this race, so Elliott could be the guy that pays out big. He’s worth a unit or two in this race on Saturday, and will really be worth a chance up until he finally does win his first race.
