Odds To Win the Toyota/Save Mart 350: Harvick Shares Top Odds With Busch, Truex Jr.

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series returns after a one-week hiatus and heads into the West Coast for its Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway with three motorists sharing the top spot as the odds-on favorite to top the podium.
Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. are every listed at +450 at BetOnline followed closely by Clint Bowyer in +650, Kurt Busch in +850, Denny Hamlin at +1100, A.J. Allmendinger and also Joey Logano in +1200, Brad Keselowski at +1600 and Ryan Blaney in +2200 to round out the top 10.
The Three Faves all in the thick of this Championship Hunt Kevin Harvick might have the lead for wins on the season with five but he still trails Kyle Busch in the Dragon Energy Cup standings. Harvick is coming off a second-place finish behind teammate Clint Bowyer in the FireKeepers Casino 400 and has not obtained a checkered flag in 3 Cup races, which will be his longest drought of the year. But, I would be remiss to not say that Harvick won this race.
Meanwhile, the Kyle Busch can direct the standings but he fell short of the podium in Michigan and hasn’t won at this course since 2015. No. 18 has a healthy lead in the standings by not being a wreck risk for example in years ago as evidenced by his top-10 endings in two races this year.
As for Martin Truex Jr., the reigning Monster Energy NASCAR Cup winner has yet to put his stamp on this year as he’s just won two races and is coming off a middle-of-the-pack revealing in Michigan when he finished 18th.
If you have to pick between the three, go with Harvick given that he won this race last year, and it has done well as a favorite, winning five races as chalk. If you’re searching for better value, it could be worth taking a stab at another driver with adequate chances and track record at Sonoma.
Hamlin May Be for His First Win of the Season in Line Denny Hamlin has seen himself at the next grade of motorists on the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup circuit, winning the occasional race and peaking in 2009 with nine wins. But since then, he is regressed and has not topped two wins in a season and has nine wins total from 2010 onward.
This could be the week that No. 11 breaks through as he’s six top-five finishes this season and is the only driver on the circuit to finish in the top five in each of the previous couple of years at this particular track. In +1100, he may be the very best value on the board once you believe how well he has fared in Sonoma recently.
