Odds current as of publication and subject to change Kevin Harvick to Win. Hamlin is the two-time defending track champion, but Harvick is tied with Hamlin and Jimmie Johnson with three wins at Kansas, the most among active drivers. Over the past six races, nobody has earned more points there than Harvick.
The model is also targeting four other drivers with NASCAR Playoffs at Kansas odds of 12-1 or longer to make a serious run at the checkered flag. Anyone who backs these drivers could hit it big. The following drivers don't have odds better than 100-1 but may provide good value: Christopher Bell: 100-1 Cole Custer: 125-1 Ryan Newman: 125-1.
Kevin Harvick (721 points) has built a strong lead in the NASCAR standings, but the competition to make the 16-driver playoff field is heating up with contenders like Jimmie Johnson, William Byron, Austin Dillon, Tyler Reddick and Erik Jones all on the bubble. They'll all be in the NASCAR at Kansas starting grid when the 2020 Super Start Batteries 400 gets underway at 7:30 p.m. ET on Thursday. Seven active drivers have multiple career victories at Kansas Speedway, so Thursday's race is expected to be extremely competitive.
Despite finishing inside the top 10 just once in his last six NASCAR at Kansas starts, Harvick enters Thursday's race as the Vegas favorite at 4-1 in the latest 2020 Super Start Batteries 400 odds from William Hill. There are a total of eight drivers going off at 12-1 or lower according to the latest 2020 NASCAR at Kansas odds. Before locking in any 2020 NASCAR at Kansas predictions, be sure to see the latest 2020 Super Start Batteries 400 picks and projected leaderboard from the proven model at SportsLine.
Developed by daily Fantasy pro and SportsLine predictive data engineer Mike McClure, this proprietary NASCAR prediction model simulates every race 10,000 times, taking into account factors such as track history and recent results.
The model began the 2020 NASCAR season by picking Denny Hamlin to win his second consecutive Daytona 500 at 10-1. It got off to a hot start on its NASCAR picks following the coronavirus hiatus as well, calling seven of the top 10 drivers at both Darlington races.
Using the model, McClure also recommended an outright play on winner Brad Keselowski at 13-1 as one of his best bets at Bristol in May. The model also called Kevin Harvick's win at Atlanta and nailed a whopping nine top-10 finishers in that race. McClure also used the model to lock in an outright bet on Hamlin winning at 10-1 at Miami. At The Brickyard, the model called Harvick's fourth victory of the season, and also identified four top-five drivers in the All-Star Race at Bristol. Anybody who has follow the model has seen some huge returns.

Top 2020 Super Start Batteries 400 predictions
For the 2020 Super Start Batteries 400, the model is high on Joey Logano, even though he's a 12-1 long shot in the latest 2020 NASCAR at Kansas odds. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Logano is drawing slightly longer odds this week because of his inconsistency. He has eight top-10 finishes this season, but he's also finished 15th or worse in five of his last eight races.
While it's been tough for NASCAR bettors to figure out what to expect from him on a weekly basis, Logano has been strong at Kansas Speedway in his career. In fact, Logano has two career victories and eight top-10 finishes at Kansas Speedway. That level of track success, combined with his double-digit odds, make him one of the drivers you should be all over in your 2020 NASCAR at Kansas bets.
And a massive shocker: Ryan Blaney, one of the Vegas favorites at 13-2, stumbles big-time and doesn't even crack the top five. There are far better values in a loaded 2020 Super Start Batteries 400 starting lineup. Blaney finished seventh or better in four of his first six career races at Kansas but has been a major slump recently.
He has just one top-10 finish at this track since 2017 and finished 21st and 32nd in the two Kansas races last year. Since joining Team Penske in 2018, his average finish position at Kansas is No. 24.25. With a poor recent track history and short odds, Blaney is one of the 2020 NASCAR at Kansas favorites to fade this week.
How to make 2020 Super Start Batteries 400 picks
The model is also targeting three other drivers with 2020 NASCAR at Kansas odds of 12-1 or longer to make a serious run at the checkered flag. Anyone who backs these drivers could hit it big. You can only see them here.

How To Bet Auto Racing Futures
The 'Odds to Win' wager in auto racing is very simple to understand. Put simply, you just need to select the driver that will capture the checkered flag of the race You select any of the drivers in the race and your payout for the bet will depend on the odds given at the time of the wager. This wager can be placed until the race begins.
To figure out your Win Amount, take the odds and multiply by the amount wagered. Ex. Jimmie Johnson (5/2) - Jimmie Johnson is listed as a 5/2 betting choice. If you wager $100 on Johnson to win the event and he comes in first, then you would win $250 (5 ÷ 2 x 100). You would collect $350, which includes your win and stake ($100).
What does the FIELD mean? Many races will include a betting selection called the Field. This bet consists of all drivers not listed in the 'Odds to Win.' Most races have a set number of drivers but it's rare to see oddsmakers put a price on every driver that will race. Drivers that are given the least opportunity to win the race will be grouped into the 'Field' odds and paid out accordingly if they win.
