Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series
Go Bowling 400

Odds to Win Race

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series heads to Kansas Speedway for the Go Bowling 400 on Saturday. The drivers most recently competed in the GEICO 500, which was won by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Kyle Busch led the race for 48 laps, but he was unable to come away with the victory. Now the drivers move on to Kansas City, where Busch could once again perform pretty well. Busch won this race a year ago, marking the third race won here by a Joe Gibbs Racing driver. That is more than any other team, but Hendrick Motorsports is close with two. The manufacturer that has been the most successful in this race is Toyota, though. Busch drove a Toyota a year ago, and it was the third victory by a Toyota driver in this event. With that out of the way, let’s now take a look at some of the best values to win on Saturday:

Brad Keselowski (13-to-2) - Brad Keselowski knows what it takes to get the job done in Kansas City, as proven by his Go Bowling 400 victory back in 2011. Not only has Keselowski won at Kansas Speedway, but he also happens to be driving better than anybody coming into this race. Keselowski has really had a remarkable season, finishing inside the top-five six times. He has also finished outside the top-10 only twice on the year, which is actually shocking. His consistency makes it very hard to pass up on him at 13-to-2, especially somewhere he has won before.

Kyle Busch (8-to-1) - As previously mentioned, Kyle Busch is the defending champion heading into Saturday’s race. While it might not be considered likely that he’ll win two years in a row, his odds are still very tough to pass up at 8-to-1. Busch is coming off of a very good race at Talladega, where he came in third and led the race for the most amounts of laps of any driver. While that is not the same as coming away with a win, his confidence should be high. He’ll also be eager to earn a win, as he has not yet won this season.

Matt Kenseth (15-to-1) - Matt Kenseth is struggling a bit coming into this race, but he should be able to turn things around and make things interesting on Saturday. Kenseth was the winner of the Go Bowling 400 back in 2013, and he has finished inside the top-10 at each of the three races here since. In fact, he has finished inside the top-10 at every single Go Bowling 400 since this race started here in 2011. He knows how to give himself a chance to win here, and that is good enough for somebody getting 15-to-1 odds.

Ryan Newman (65-to-1) - It’s been a good year for Ryan Newman, who won the Camping World 500 in Phoenix in the fourth race of the season. Not only does Newman have a victory to his name this year, but the 39-year-old has finished inside the top-10 on two other occasions. He is competing for a top spot in more races than usual, and this race on Saturday should be a good one for him. The fact that he is getting 65-to-1 odds is rather crazy, and he is worth a quarter-unit for this weekend.
