03-07-21 | Kevin Harvick -130 v. Chase Elliott | 0-1 | Loss | -130 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
My selection is on Kevin Harvick over Chase Elliott at 3:35 pm et on Sunday. I'll be playing Kevin Harvick to win this race outright as well but for the purposes of this play we'll back him matched up against Chase Elliott on Sunday. Harvick has been as consistent as they come here at this track in Vegas, finishing no worse than eighth in five of his last six races here going back to 2015. That includes winning this race outright twice over that stretch (in 2015 and 2018). While Harvick has yet to win a race this season, he has three top-10 finishes and two top-5's to his credit already. As for Elliott, he's finished as high as third in this race back in 2017 but has only two top-10 finishes in five tries. Take Harvick (10*). |

07-15-20 | Chase Elliott v. Ryan Blaney -120 | 1-0 | Loss | -120 | 13 h 9 m | Show | |
My selection is on Ryan Blaney over Chase Elliott at 9 pm et on Wednesday. I love the way this one sets up as Ryan Blaney should go for it here at the NASCAR All-Star event while Chase Elliott's struggles project to continue. Elliott has just one finish better than 11th in his last five races, that coming in Pocono a few weeks back. Ryan Blaney hasn't exactly been tearing it up either, finishing 12th or worse in three of his last four races but is coming off a strong sixth-place showing in Kentucky, in which his Ford Mustang looked extremely good. After crashing less than 200 laps in at Bristol last month, look for Blaney to make amends here. Take Blaney (10*). |

07-12-20 | Denny Hamlin -115 v. Martin Truex Jr | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -115 | 125 h 25 m | Show |
NASCAR Play of the Week. My selection is on Denny Hamlin over Martin Truex Jr. at 2:35 pm et on Sunday. Leading up to last Sunday's race Denny Hamlin had been as consistent as they come, finishing top-four in four consecutive races. He very well could have taken the checkered flag on Sunday before crashing with eight laps to go. I look for a strong bounce-back performance here, and will gladly back him at a discount price against Martin Truex Jr. Truex has faded of late, finishing better than 10th just once in his last five races. He made it only 16 laps this past Sunday so he'll certainly be looking to make amends for that but I don't like the matchup here. While he does have two victories in his last three races here at Kentucky Speedway, he has finished no better than 10th in four other races here over the last six years. I like Hamlin as a sleeper play to win this race outright as well. Take Hamlin (10*). |

07-05-20 | Joey Logano -130 v. Chase Elliott | Top | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 115 h 46 m | Show |
NASCAR Play of the Week. My selection is on Joey Logano over Chase Elliott at 4:05 pm et on Sunday. It's time for Joey Logano to get back on track in the NASCAR Cup Series season and what better place to do it than Indianapolis, where he has had plenty of strong finishes in the past. Logano has finished eighth or better in six of his last seven races here, most recently finishing in second place last September. If you follow my plays regularly you know that I generally lean to Ford and Toyota over Chevrolet and that's the case again here. Chase Elliott has cooled off since a red hot run and has never finished better than ninth place at this track. In fact, he's finished 15th or worse in four of five career races in Indy. Take Logano (10*). |

06-27-20 | Kyle Busch -135 v. Chase Elliott | Top | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 8 h 36 m | Show |
NASCAR Play of the Week. My selection is on Kyle Busch over Chase Elliott at 3:35 pm et on Saturday. I love the way this race sets up as a bounce back for Kyle Busch and there’s no question he knows his way around the Pocono track having grabbed three checkered flags in six races here over the last three years. He finished no worse than ninth in any of those races and should have another strong showing here. I like him matched up against Chase Elliott, who has faded a bit following a red hot run. Take Busch (10*). |
