Every fiber of your being is going to tell you to pick Kyle Busch for this race and let me be honest, no doubt it is a good pick. He won the truck race and it’s his hometown track, but Busch isn’t as cut and dry of a pick as you would think.
Despite Denny Hamlin winning the Daytona 500, Toyota has not been putting out as much speed as the Fords or Chevrolet’s so far this year. I have a feeling the Ford’s are gonna be the cars to beat in Vegas.
Thankfully, no rain is expected today so this race and the delayed Xfinity race should go off without a problem. So I’m not expecting a rainout and some out of the left-field winner we need to be worried about ruining odds.
