View Jay Dotson’s Expert Picks
Tony Stewart AKA “Smoke” qualified in the 8th spot and is looking to end his winless drought. Stewart has had plenty of success here with 2 wins, 6 top fives, and 9 top 10-finishes. Stewart’s average finish is right at 12 on this track and is coming in at +1800 this week, which is great value. He’s also been relatively quiet so far this season, and is way overdue for a win.
Joey Logano is set to start in the 2nd spot Saturday night and is having a banner season so far. He already has 2 wins under his belt this season and could pick up his third here. Logano is coming in at +1100 this week and can’t be passed up. Logano picked up a win in Texas which is also a 1.5-mile track, and this plays into Logano’s wheelhouse. Look for him to make plenty of noise.
Ryan Newman is set to start in the 7th position and at +4000 odds is worth a shot Saturday night. He has 3 career wins on 1.5 mile tracks, including a win here at Kansas. Newman has a little extra motivation this season to prove his team owner right in picking him up. He’s a veteran driver and with his good starting position, should make it interesting throughout the race.
