Quaker State 400 Preview
By Micah Roberts
VegasInsider.com

I can't believe we're already at the halfway point of the 2017 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season. Or at least it will be at the conclusion of Saturday night's Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway.

It certainly has been an unusual season as we slowly get used to not seeing names like Tony Stewart, Jeff Gordon and Carl Edwards on the final results sheet, but we're seeing new drivers step up and handle themselves well against the old guard. So far we've had 11 different winners in the first 17 races, including three drivers who captured the first Cup wins of their careers.

Last week at Daytona, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won for the second time in his four year career. His first win came eight weeks ago at Talladega. That Daytona win paid out at 20/1 odds, a low price showing just how respected he is in Las Vegas. He's turned the corner of his career and is no longer just Danica Patrick's boyfriend. It's also nice to see Roush Fenway Racing matter again.

Seven-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson is still showing the kids how it's done as he leads the series with three wins. Right under him is four drivers each with two wins, including Brad Keselowski who has won three of the six races held on Kentucky's 1.5-mile layout. He won in 2012, 2014 and also last season which was the first race after Kentucky repaved the track and slightly reconfigured turns one and two.

This will be the sixth race on a 1.5-mile track this season. Although this oval is unique to itself with not a lot of banking like the others, what we've seen in the first fives races on 1.5-mile layouts is still very telling to what we should expect Saturday night. So here's a quick recap of what happened on them:

Atlanta (March 5): Brad Keselowski scooped up a win when Kevin Harvick got a speeding penalty after he had dominated the race leading 292 laps. Kyle Larson would finish second.

Las Vegas (March 12): Martin Truex Jr. led 150 laps in the win and was in control for most the race. Keselowski led 89 laps and finished fifth. Larson finished second.

Texas (April 9): Jimmie Johnson came on strong late to win, but it was Ryan Blaney who led the most laps (148). He'd finish 12th. Harvick led 77 laps and finished fourth. Larson finished second, again.

Kansas (May 13): Truex led the most laps (104) and Blaney led the second-most (83) before finishing fourth. Keselowski would finish second, Harvick third and Larson finished sixth. Joe Gibbs racing finally showed some speed on these type of tracks with Kyle Busch leading 59 laps and finishing fifth.

Charlotte (May 28): Austin Dillon would win the first race of his Cup career. He gambled correctly on fuel mileage and crossed the finish line on fumes. Truex would dominate the race leading 233 laps finishing third. Kyle Busch led 63 laps and finished second showing signs of JGR eventually capturing a win -- Matt Kenseth was fourth and Denny Hamlin was fifth. Harvick led 45 laps and finished eighth.

As you can see from the rundown, it's a lot of the same names and the odds will reflect it. Larson's two wins on the year came on two 2-mile tracks (Fontana, Michigan) and JGR still hasn't won a race this season. But as you can see with Kyle Busch, they're close and this is a track that Busch is quite fond of in all series. He's captured six wins at Kentucky between the three major series, including Kentucky's Cup Series debut in 2011. He also won in the Cup series there in 2015.

“I love Kentucky," Busch said. "It was special there in 2011, when we were able to win the first Cup race there, and it stayed that way during our win there two years ago. I look forward to going back every year. It’s a pretty challenging racetrack. It used to be a place that lends itself to different kinds of setups because it was so rough.

"Fast lap times at Kentucky come from momentum," he continued. "The place is so round that there’s not a ton of banking compared to some other 1.5-milers. It’s all about how round the corners are and just being able to maintain corner speed and stay on the gas. We certainly think we have as good a shot as any to get back to victory lane there with our Snickers Rowdy Camry. It’s a place we get excited about, for sure.”

Both Busch and teammate Matt Kenseth are tied at 5.2 with the best average finish at Kentucky between the first six races. Kenseth won at Kentucky in 2013. Is this the week one of the Gibbs drivers finally breaks through?

Truex may have something to say about that matter, but I do think it's a good spot for Kyle Busch to finally break through.

Top-5 Finish Prediction:

1) #18 Kyle Busch (6/1)
2) #78 Martin Truex Jr. (5/1)
3) #20 Matt Kenseth (18/1)
4) #4 Kevin Harvick (8/1)
5) #2 Brad Keselowski (6/1)

Quaker State 400 - Drivers to Bet
By: StatFox.com

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will be in Kentucky for the Quaker State 400 this weekend. The drivers will be racing on a Saturday for the second straight week, and last week’s race in Daytona was surely eventful. There were a number of wrecks in that one, and caution flags pretty much occupied the entire race. In the end, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. emerged as the winner. Looking forward to this week, Brad Keselowski is a guy that is going to be more than excited here. Keselowski has won the Quaker State 400 three times in his career, and he was the winner when the drivers competed here a year ago. Another guy that has won more than once here is Kyle Busch. Busch was the winner in both 2011 and 2015, and the only other driver to have won this race is Matt Kenseth. This is only the seventh time this race will happen, so it’s still very new. With that out of the way, let’s now take a look at some of the best values for Saturday:

Brad Keselowski (5-to-1) - As mentioned earlier, Brad Keselowki has been the best driver when competing in Sparta. Keselowski has already won the Quaker State 400 three times in his career, and that is really impressive when considering the fact that there has only been six of these races in total. And it’s not like Keselowski is only good in Kentucky. He is one of the best drivers in the world, and he has already won two races this season. Look for him to give himself a great chance to make it three on Saturday, and don’t miss out on his 5-to-1 odds.

Kyle Busch (5-to-1) - Like Keselowski, Kyle Busch has also had some tremendous success at the Quaker State 400. Busch has not won three times like Keselowski, but he does have two victories here. He won in both 2011 and 2015, and it’s not like he was bad here a year ago. Busch came in 12th in this race in 2016, and it’s likely that he’ll bounce right back and be a contender this year. At 5-to-1 odds, he is certainly capable of paying out nicely. And he has been driving well lately, finishing inside the top-10 in three of his past four races.

Joey Logano (18-to-1) - The past few months have been miserable for Logano, as he has finished outside of the top 20 in six of the past eight races heading into this one. Logano is, however, far too good of a driver to stay down for long. He still has a victory this season, and he is one of the best talents in the sport right now. He also has had some success in the Quaker State 400, as he finished in second in this race back in 2015. Expect him to make a push to win this one, and don’t miss out on backing him at 18-to-1.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (100-to-1) - It has been quite the season for Stenhouse Jr, who is coming off of his second win of the year last week. Stenhouse Jr. shocked a lot of people by winning at Daytona, and he has proven that he is an emerging force on the Monster Energy Cup Series. With that being the case, it’s quite odd that Stenhouse Jr. is getting 100-to-1 odds here. While it’s not common to win two races in a row, it’s worth taking a shot on a confident driver like him here.

Quaker State 400 Betting Predictions
By Adam Burke
Bangthebook.com

THIS IS SPARTA…Kentucky, where the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will continue its push to the playoffs with the Quaker State 400. Last year’s race was a bit of a mess, as a newly-paved track led to a lot of wrecks and a lot of cautions. Hopefully the track conditions have been fixed in advance of this year’s stop at the racetrack just off of I-71 between Cincinnati and Louisville.

Technically 400.5 miles are on tap at the tri-oval for Saturday night’s festivities. Kentucky Speedway will be a little quieter next year. The track currently hosts one Monster Energy Cup Series race and two Xfinity Series races, but one of the Xfinity Series races will go to Las Vegas. NASCAR officials switched one of the two Loudon, New Hampshire dates to Las Vegas on the Cup Series side beginning next season.

As mentioned, last year’s race was a trainwreck. Well, a car wreck, if you will. It featured 11 cautions that took away 53 of the 267 laps. There were 16 lead changes. Kentucky Speedway served as a test track in 2015 for the new aerodynamics package that was implemented for the full 2016 season. It didn’t seem to help drivers at all on the slippery surface last season. If changes have been made, we should see an exciting race on the 1.5-mile track, but that remains to be seen.

This is officially the midpoint of the 2017 season. Thirty-six races in total are on the schedule and this is the 18th race of the 26-race regular season that determines who will be eligible for the playoffs and subsequent championship. There won’t be another night race until August 19 at Bristol.

Through 17 races and the duels at Daytona, which were points races this season, Kyle Larson leads the way with 667 points. Martin Truex Jr. is second with 649 points. Kyle Busch sits in a distant third with 559 points. Kevin Harvick has 557 points, but lost 10 points to a failed inspection in Phoenix. Brad Keselowski, who lost 35 points to his own failed inspection at Phoenix, is fifth with 535 points.

Chase Elliott, Jimmie Johnson, Jamie McMurray, Denny Hamlin, and Clint Bowyer round out the top 10. The top 16 qualify for the playoffs, though wins certainly help in that quest. Fortunately, there’s only one landmine left for drivers in the top 10 spots without a win. That will come at Watkins Glen in a few weeks. Disaster was dodged at Sonoma when Kevin Harvick won on the road course and also last week at Daytona when Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who already had a win at Talladega, scored his second restrictor plate win of the year.

We’ve got co-favorites on the board this week and neither name should come as a surprise. Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Busch are both listed at +550 at 5Dimes Sportsbook. Truex is probably the circuit’s best racer at 1.5-mile tracks. His two wins this season have both come on 1.5-mile tracks at Las Vegas and Kansas. He’s had sporadic stage wins and other good showings on them in other races this season. Truex has never won this particular race, but he was right there last year before some pitting problems and cautions pushed him back in the pack. Kentucky has actually been a house of horrors for Truex. Despite his success on 1.5-mile tracks, his best finish at Kentucky is seventh way back in 2013.

Kyle Busch has two of the three wins for Joe Gibbs Racing at Kentucky Speedway. Busch is also very good on 1.5-mile tracks, which shouldn’t come as a big surprise because JGR and Team Penske seem to rule the roost when it comes to those types of tracks. Busch, amazingly, doesn’t have a win this season, but he’s been coming on pretty strong. He was 20th last week at Daytona, though you can basically throw out plate race results. Busch had a stage win in three of the previous six races with five top-10 finishes. He’ll get one soon, whether it’s this week or maybe at the Brickyard in two weeks, but one is coming.

Brad Keselowski is one of two drivers priced at +650 this weekend. Keselowski has three career triumphs at Kentucky, including last year’s victory. He’s basically the San Francisco Giants of Kentucky Speedway with the racing gods smiling down on him in even-numbered years. This race started in 2011 and Keselowski has wins in 2012, 2014, and 2016. He led the most laps last week at Daytona, but finished 31st. Prior to that, Keselowski had two top-five finishes over his last three races. He hasn’t been very consistent in a while and his last win of the year came way back at Martinsville. This may be the track his team needs in order to get back on track.

Kyle Larson is still the points leader and he’s had some good runs on 1.5-mile tracks this season. He’s the other driver at +650. For Larson to win on Saturday night, he’ll have to do something that no other Chevy has done at Kentucky…win the race. It is the only track in which a Chevrolet has not won a Cup Series race. Given the historic year that Larson has had, it seems only fitting that he would run well. He’d have to defy some history, though, as Larson has finished 40th, 35th, and 19th in his three Kentucky starts.

Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski have five of the six wins here. The other belongs to Matt Kenseth, who is +1650 this weekend. Kenseth is 11th in points, but hasn’t finished higher than fourth since the race at Atlanta in the second week of the season. He’s a tough sell with the lack of consistency. One guy that we can buy low on, however, is Joey Logano at +1650. Team Penske cars have done well in these races and Logano finished second at Kentucky in 2015. He was fourth in 2013 and ninth in 2015. Last year, Logano got loose on the slippery track and finished 39th. That feels like an outlier. He may be a great value pick this week.

Coverage of the 2017 Quaker State 400 will be on Saturday night with a 7:30 p.m. ET start time on NBC Sports Network.

Kentucky Fantasy Racing Preview
By: Jeff Wackerlin
Racingone.com

Detailed driver notes and statistics to help set your fantasy racing lineup for Saturday night's Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway.

Note: This will be the second race since Kentucky was repaved and reconfigured. Another four-inch layer of asphalt was laid down on top of last year's surface for 2017.

Who's HOT at Kentucky

• Kyle Busch (2 wins) and Brad Keselowski (3 wins) are the only multiple winners at Kentucky. Keselowski won last year's race on the track's new configuration.
• Matt Kenseth is the only driver that has finished in the top 10 in all six races, including a win in 2013.
• Kevin Harvick has finished in the top 10 in the last four races and led 128 laps last year.

• Kurt Busch, who participated in the Goodyear tire test in May, has finished in the top 10 in his last two starts.
• Ryan Newman has finished third in two of the last three races, including last year.

Keep an Eye On at Kentucky

However, this season Johnson's best run at a 1.5-mile track came at Texas where he won in that track's first race with a new configuration and surface.
• Jamie McMurray finished seventh in this event last year and participated in the Goodyear tire test back in May.
• Joey Logano snapped a streak of three consecutive top 10s, including a runner-up finish in 2015, with a 39th-place finish in this event last year following a crash.
• Kyle Larson has posted three runner-up finishes at 1.5-mile tracks this season.
• Clint Bowyer (11.0), Trevor Bayne (12.8 ) and Ryan Blaney (13.0) each rank in the top 10 in average finish in the five races at 1.5-mile tracks this season. Blaney led a race-high 148 laps at Texas in the first race with a new track configuration and surface.
• Along with Kurt Busch and McMurray, Austin Dillon and Erik Jones participated in the Goodyear tire test in May.

Driver Notes - Ordered by Average Finish (Top 15) in the Six Races at Kentucky

Kyle Busch is a two-time winner at Kentucky with his last coming in 2015 after leading 163 laps. Although he ranks second in laps led (437) at the track, he failed to lead a lap last season in the first race since the track was repaved and reconfigured and finished 10th. The track has had another layer of asphalt applied for this year and Busch will be running in all three series this weekend to get a feel for the new surface. Busch has finished in the top five and has combined to lead 122 laps in his last two starts at 1.5-mile tracks this season.

Matt Kenseth is the only driver that has finished in the top 10 in all six races at Kentucky. Kenseth, the winner of the 2013 races, has only led a total of 40 laps with two of them coming last year in the first race on the new configuration. Kenseth has yet to lead a lap in the five races at 1.5-mile tracks this season, but has finished in the top 10 in three of them.

Brad Keselowski is the only three-time winner at Kentucky. He led 75 laps en route to the win last year in the first race since it was repaved and reconfigured. A crash at Charlotte Motor Speedway snapped Keselowski's streak of four consecutive top 10s at 1.5-mile tracks this season, which includes a win at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Kurt Busch has finished in the top 10 in his last two Kentucky starts, including a fourth-place run last since in the first race since the track was repaved and reconfigured. Since Kentucky received another four-inch layer of asphalt for this year, Busch was one of the drivers that participated in the Goodyear tire test back in May. Busch is coming off his best finish at a 1.5-mile track this season - sixth at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Kevin Harvick has finished in the top 10 in his last four starts at Kentucky. He led 128 laps last year from the pole en route to a ninth-place finish in the first race since the track was reconfigured and repaved. Harvick will compete in the XFINITY race this weekend for extra track time since Kentucky received an extra four-inch layer of asphalt for 2017. Harvick also led 77 laps and finished fourth at Texas Motor Speedway earlier this season after that track was reconfigured and repaved. This season, Harvick ranks second in laps led (424) in the five races at 1.5-mile tracks.

Jimmie Johnson snapped a streak of five consecutive top 10s at Kentucky last year in this event. Johnson didn’t have much luck on the new repave and reconfiguration after going to a backup in practice and then hitting the wall in the race. Johnson did fare much better this season in the first race since Texas was repave and reconfigured by winning the race from the 24th starting spot.

Trevor Bayne has posted a 12.0 average finish in two starts at Kentucky. He finished 11th last season in the first race since the track was reconfigured. This season, Bayne has posted a 12.8 average finish in the five races at 1.5-mile tracks.

Kasey Kahne scored his last of two top 10s at Kentucky in this event in 2014, in eighth. He finished 14th last season in the first race on the new configuration. This season, Kahne has yet to lead a lap and has posted a 20.8 average finish in the five races at 1.5-mile tracks.

Ryan Newman has finished third in two of the last three races at Kentucky, including last season on the track's new configuration. Newman is coming off his first top 10 in the five races at 1.5-mile tracks this season, finishing ninth at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Martin Truex Jr. has finished in the top 10 three times at Kentucky, including a 10th-place run last season on the track's new configuration. Truex led 46 laps in that event but was penalized by NASCAR for passing Kevin Harvick on pit road and sent to the rear of the field. Truex leads the series with two wins and a 4.2 average finish in the five races at 1.5-mile tracks this season.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. scored his last of two top 10s at Kentucky in 2014, in fifth. Earnhardt finished 13th last year in the first race since the track was reconfigured. This season, Earnhardt has finished in the top 10 in two of his last three races at 1.5-mile tracks, including a fifth-place run at Texas, which was held on that track's first race following a repave and reconfiguration.

Joey Logano snapped a streak of three consecutive top 10s at Kentucky with a 39th-place finish following an accident. Logano's last of three top 10s at 1.5-mile tracks this season came at Texas Motor Speedway on a new repave and configuration. Logano will also have extra track time on Kentucky's new four-inch layer of asphalt by competing in the XFINITY Series race.

Denny Hamlin scored his last of two top 10s at Kentucky in 2015. He finished 15ths last season in the first race since the track was repaved and reconfigured. Hamlin is coming off his best finish at a 1.5-mile track - fifth at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Jamie McMurray is coming off his second top 10 at Kentucky, finishing seventh in the first race since the track was repaved and reconfigured. Since Kentucky received another four-inch layer of asphalt for this year, McMurray was one of the drivers that participated in the Goodyear tire test back in May.

Paul Menard has finished in the top 20 in four of the last five races at Kentucky with his best coming in 2012, in 12th. Menard, who finished 18th in this event last season, is coming off his best finish at 1.5-mile track this season - 13th at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
