Verizon 200 At the Brickyard Predictions
OPTION 1: Kyle Busch (+1200)
Busch took a risk last week that backfired at Michigan, but I like backing this guy when he’s racing pissed off. And you know Busch is going to be pissed off heading into Sunday with the way last week ended. He’s also got good numbers here, posting two wins in 16 career races at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In those 16 wins, he also has five top-5 finishes and 12 top-10 finishes with an average finish of 12.1. I think this dude is going to be locked in today.
OPTION 2: Kevin Harvick (+10000)
Why not? I know he just revealed this week that he’s been racing with broken ribs for several weeks, but this dude has great numbers at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In 20 career runs here, Harvick has three wins, eight top-5 finishes and 14 top-10s. He’s led for 389 of the 3,211 laps that he’s raced here and has an average finish of 8.6. You’re telling me he’s not worth a flier at +10000?
OPTION 3: Joey Logano (+5000)
I’m feeling in a long-shot mood today, probably because this race tends to be unpredictable. In 12 career races at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Logano has yet to claim victory but he does have four top-5 finishes and eight top-10 showings for an average finish of 10.8. Among drivers with at least 10 career races here, only Harvick has a higher average finish than Logano and at his price, he’s worth a flier.
