The NASCAR Cup series heads to the Kentucky Speedway for the Quaker State 400 this Sunday, July 12th at 4:00 PM Eastern time. Last weekend’s race was won by the red-hot Kevin Harvick and he enters this race as a major favorite once again.
Harvick and Denny Hamlin have had a real battle going in NASCAR of late and last weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was no different. It was a high-speed duel between the two throughout the race with Hamlin having a late lead over Harvick. However, a blown tire for Hamlin sent him into the wall and ended the race for him which lead to Harvick taking the checkered flag. It was Harvick’s second consecutive win, his fourth of the season, and his third at the Indianapolis Speedway. Thanks to that finish, Harvick is a big favorite this weekend at +350. He’s never won here in the short history of this race and his best finish was 5th in 2018.
For past winners, we have Martin Truex Jr. who won in both 2017 and 2018. The Busch brothers have also found success here with Kurt Busch taking last year’s race and Kyle Busch taking second last year’s race and winning in 2011 and 2015. The Toyota cars have done well here in recent history and we’ll be looking hard at them here.

NASCAR Quaker State 400 Betting Odds Tips
Denny Hamlin #11 +500: Hamlin would’ve have won last week if it wasn’t for that tire blowout and I can see him performing well again here. The Toyoto cars have done well here and he drives one. He had a 5th place finish last year as three out of the top five starts were taking by Toyota. He’s the alpha dog of this team and I think he can take it.
Kyle Busch #18 +600: His two wins were a long time ago, but he finished second last year and finished the race with the most laps led. He drives a Toyota and I think they are going to do well here. It’s hard not to throw a couple bucks at Kyle Busch just based on his history.
Erik Jones #20 +3000: This is definitely a spot where you want to grab the top-5 or top-8 odds with this one. It’s a deep sleeper, but he is a boom-or-bust driver that is ready for a big boom. Jones has placed third, seventh and sixth at the Quaker State 400 and this might be his best track on the circuit. Definitely worth taking a flier on.
