NASCAR Kansas Odds & Picks

Cars hit the high-banked oval of Kansas Speedway on Saturday for practice and qualifying with the results being a strong indicator of what is to come. Among the top cars during the two split 20-minute practice sessions were pre-practice favorites Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson who both performed as expected. Surprisingly though, neither looked like the best car in their groups, nor from their own team for that matter. Among the best cars during practice were Hamlinโs teammates Ty Gibbs and Christopher Bell, with Larsonโs HMS teammate Alex Bowman also showing good speed.
In a surprising turn of events, one of the pre-practice favorites Tyler Reddick looked mid at best while his teammate Bubba Wallace was also disappointing. Chase Elliott showed really strong short-run speed but it was all for naught, as theyโll be replacing a busted engine. Practice didnโt have any weird cautions so we have full green sessions and a lot of data to pull from when shopping post-qualifying Kansas odds.

Speaking of qualifying, it too had its surprises while also delivering its usual at the same time. After showing poor speed in practice, Kyle Busch, still seeking his first win of the year, wound up qualifying 4th for the race. Christopher Bell, for the THIRD CONSECUTIVE time, grabbed the pole, narrowly beating out JGR teammate Ty Gibbs for the top spot. And Kyle Larson, still the Kansas odds-on favorite, failed to reach the final round of qualifying for the first time in the Gen 7 era here. All of Saturdayโs action had the odds shifting so lets take a peek at the updated Hollywood Casino 400 from Kansas odds.

Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Odds Bets
The Land of OZ has been a pleasant host to Toyota over the years. The manufacturer has won seven of the last ten and four of the five Gen-7 era races at Kansas Speedway. I’m no stranger to this fact which is one of the reasons I’m building my betting card the way I am. See just a couple of my favorite Kansas odds to bet for the Hollywood Casino 400 below.
Denny Hamlin +130 Over Kyle Larson (Caesars)
Contrary to what people may believe, Kansas is Dennyโs house more than Larsonโs. Hamlin, not Larson, leads all Cup Series drivers in average finish here during the Gen 7 era at 2.8. Doing so despite an average starting position over 12 spots worse than Kyle. Hamlin also leads their head-to-head matchup over these five races 3-2, and it was destined to be 4-1 this spring before Kyle Busch brought out a late caution. Iโm not saying this will be a snoozer, but these two are the premier drivers at this track and neither should be a heavy favorite against the other. Simply put, give me the plus money side of this matchup all day, every day in Kansas.
Erik Jones Top 10 +700 (Bet365)
Yes, Jones and Legacy have been, pardon my language, shit this year, but this number is absurd. Erik thrives on this track type and had finishes of 7th or better in five of the six races in the Land of OZ while with JGR from 2018 to 2020. Since then, heโs notched just one Top 10 and finished outside the Top 10 in the five other events.
Working in his and our favor this week is that Jonesโ most recent race here last Fall, (he missed the spring race because of injury), saw him finish 3rd! He showed actual competitive speed in practice. And heโs firing off from the 16th spot, which is his best starting position since Bristol way back in March. This is an extreme longshot, but his history, practice speed, qualifying position, and the odds make this a must-add to my card.
Ty Gibbs To Win +1400 (FanDuel)
The youngster was just eliminated from the playoffs and as Iโve echoed all week, the pressure is off him moving forward. Ty, or Tyrone as some in the NASCAR betting community like to refer to him, was incredible during practice. Posting the 2nd best 20-lap average, and top 25 and 30-lap averages among the entire field. He backed that speed up in qualifying by dropping the 2nd best time in his group during round 1. Followed by the 2nd best speed and a front-row starting spot in the final stage.
Now, Gibbs’ 28.5 average finish here in the Cup Series doesn’t necessarily scream a potential winner. But Ty was a Top 5 contender over the first two stages before his car shut off with 60 laps to go in the spring. He qualified 6th and finished stage 1 3rd during his rookie year in the first Kansas race. Started dead last in the fall last season but came home 14th. And oh yeah, his two Xfinity trips here resulted in a win and 3rd place finish.
The kid has improved immensely since then and with that โpressureโ of the playoffs and stressors of “points racing” alleviated, he can now hyperfocus on a win. The 54 has been close to snagging his first-ever Cup Series victory a couple of times already this year, but none of those races were as stress-free as this one is about to be. He’ll have to defeat the elite to find victory lane today, he has the car, has the talent, and has the odds worth taking a shot on.
