2018 Kansas Lottery 300 Odds, Picks and Predictions – Favorites, Value Bets and Top Sleepers for the Kansas Lottery 300: The NASCAR XFINITY Series kicks off its second round of the playoffs this weekend with a trip to Kansas Speedway. This will be the first trip to the track for the XFINITY teams this year, but it will be the eighth time the series has visited a track with a mile-and-a-half layout.
Despite the fact that Cup drivers are not allowed to compete in XFINITY races during the playoffs, you probably won’t want to stray too far from household names this weekend. The 1.5-mile ovals like Kansas tend to be kind to big names, and I think the winner is probably going to come from one of the top championship threats.
2018 Kansas Lottery 300 Odds, Picks and Predictions: Favorites, Value Bets and Top Sleepers for the Kansas Lottery 300
The Favorites
Christopher Bell (2/1)
Yes, he’s a rookie, but Bell actually made his Kansas debut last fall and ended up beating Erik Jones for the win in a classic finish. This year, he leads all drivers with six top-five finishes and a 3.9 average finish in the seven races at 1.5-mile ovals, and Bell has been able to lead laps in five of those races. He also leads all drivers with six wins this season, so there isn’t a safer bet out there this weekend.
Justin Allgaier (4/1)
A couple of wrecks are dragging down his average finish at the 1.5-mile tracks, but Allgaier has finished seventh or better in five of those seven races, leading laps and finishing in the top five in the two most recent races. He’s also been one of the strongest drivers in the series on a weekly basis, and his five wins are one behind Christopher Bell for the series lead and four more than any other series regular.
Value Bets
Cole Custer (6/1)
While he hasn’t won a race yet this season, Custer is always a threat at the 1.5-mile ovals. He has finished in the top 10 in the last six races, reeling off five straight top-five finishes and leading laps in three of the last four. Custer is pretty much a lock to be battling for the win, and he offers a little more room for profit than the two favorites.
Daniel Hemric (8/1)
Hemric has done everything but win a race this year, and he has been excellent at the 1.5-mile tracks. He has finished 11th or better in six of the seven races, notching three top-five finishes and leading laps in four of the last five. After Christopher Bell and Justin Allgaier, Hemric is the guy who always seems to be in the mix week in and week out.
John Hunter Nemechek (10/1)
He doesn’t have much experience in the XFINITY Series, but Nemechek has been stout in both of his starts at 1.5-mile tracks, finishing fourth and seventh, respectively. Perhaps more importantly, he will be driving for the Chip Ganassi Racing No. 42 team this weekend, and that team has already put two different drivers in victory lane, winning five races overall.
Spencer Gallagher (28/1)
With his suspension and a shoulder injury both causing him to miss time this season, it is easy to forget that Gallagher has been solid when behind the wheel. In addition to winning at Talladega, he has finished in the top 15 in four of his five starts at 1.5-mile ovals, picking up three top-10s. Gallagher could be a sneaky value bet at 28/1.
Sleeper Special
Ryan Truex (50/1)
There have been seven races at 1.5-mile tracks this year, and Truex has cracked the top 15 in all of them, posting an 11.3 average finish. He has also finished in the top 15 in both of his XFINITY starts at Kansas, cracking the top 10 in his most recent start at the track. Truex should at least be close enough to the front to try to steal a win with strategy, and you can’t ask for much more at 50/1.
