Top drivers and best bets for the Pennzoil 400

The field features eight previous winners including four multiple-time winners (Kevin Harvick, Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano and Martin Truex Jr.). Parity reigns at Las Vegas where no one has won consecutive races since Jimmie Johnson in 2007 and each of the last three races were won by the three engine manufacturers. Las Vegas native – and last week’s winner at Auto Club Speedway – Kyle Busch is the favorite over at BetMGM with 6.5-to-1 odds.

Best odds to win

• Kyle Busch +650

• Kyle Larson +800

• Ross Chastain +900

• Joey Logano +900

• Ryan Blaney +1100

• Chase Elliott +1200

Yahoo Sports’ Nick Bromberg suggests finding good mid-tier value in Truex Jr. (+1200) and Tyler Reddick (+2000) and also notes Brad Keselowski (+4100) has good longshot value as he has won three times in the desert.
