Make sure and grab Toto and prepare for some awesome barbeque, we’re headed to Kansas City, Kansas. Nascar is back on the 1.5-mile Kansas Speedway this week which has favored the Toyota’s in the past. Let’s take a look at who the favorites are and all the AdventHealth 400 odds presented by DraftKings Sportsbook.
Kansas Speedway is a favorite among the Toyota garage as the manufacturer has won 5 of the last 8 races here. This extends to the new guys of 23XI as well considering they took the checkered in both events last season. JGR was still fantastic in both trips in 2022 as well, placing at least 3 or their cars in the top 5 both times.
Qualifying, if it actually happens finally, has played a significant role at this 1.5-mile track. 7 of the previous 8 winners started top 10, and only 2 of the previous 22 victors had an official starting position worse than 14th.
The only other true 1.5-mile track Nascar has visited so far this season is Las Vegas and that was an HMS party. Teammates Kyle Larson and William Byron dominated the day leading 239 of the 267 laps. With Byron winning the race and Hendrick sweeping the top 3.
Although they didn’t compete for the win, Toyota still showed up. Placing at least 3 cars among the top 7 finishers with Bubba Wallace besting the group in 4th place.
