2019 Toyota Owners 400 Vegas picks and top NASCAR predictions: Fade Kevin Harvick, back Kurt Busch at Richmond
The 2019 Toyota Owners 400 will happen under the lights at Richmond Raceway on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. ET. It is the third short-track race in the previous four weeks and it needs to be some of the most competitive racing of the year with everybody working with the last month to dial in their short-track setup. Richmond is a 0.75-mile track with nominal banking and Kyle Busch has six career successes in this track. He also won last week in Bristol, so he’s the 9-4 favorite in the latest 2019 Toyota Owners 400 chances. However, Kevin Harvick (9-2), who claimed the pole position for 2019 NASCAR at Richmond, Martin Truex Jr. (6-1) and Joey Logano (8-1) are some of the other top drivers in the NASCAR in Richmond odds. Before making your own 2019 Toyota Owners 500 selections, be sure to check out the NASCAR predictions from renowned Vegas handicapper Micah Roberts.
Roberts went with Jimmie Johnson as a hefty 25-1 long shot at the season-opening Advance Auto Parts Clash. The end result: Johnson endured a huge crash and proceeded to win the rain-shortened race as Roberts’ followers raked it . At the TicketGuardian 500 at Phoenix, Roberts nailed Busch in 4-1 odds over the heavily favored Harvick, also got an eye-popping eight of the top 10 right. In the Car Club 400, he had nine of the top 10 right.
Roberts entered the 2019 NASCAR season after completing big-time from the black at 2018. Those who wagered $100 on each of his picks annually have $1,750 in gain to show for it. His biggest wins came after he moved against the grain, shooting Keselowski at 12-1 to win against the South Point 400 at Las Vegas in the opening race of the NASCAR playoffs and moving with Logano, also 12-1, to take the very first Data 500 at Martinsville. In addition, he pinpointed four of Harvick’s nine series victories and three of Busch’s nine wins. Anyone who’s following his picks is up huge year in, year out.
Now, he’s examined Saturday night’s 2019 Toyota Owners 400 lineup from every possible angle and then locked in his top NASCAR in Richmond picks. His estimated leaderboard for the race can be found in SportsLine.
We can tell you Roberts is fading Harvick, among the top race favorites at 7-1 NASCAR in Richmond odds. Harvick has won three times in this track in the Cup Series and seven more from the Xfinity Series, but his ride hasn’t been where it needs to be with this car bundle. In fact, Roberts states Harvick barely cracks the top 10. He’s not worth the 7-1 premium you’ll want to cover him even though he will start ahead.
One motorist which Roberts is high on for the Toyota Owners 400 2019: Kurt Busch, who started as a significant long shot at 25-1 in the NASCAR at Richmond odds. He’s now going off in 12-1 as race time strategies.
The 40-year-old using a series name under his belt has had a stunning season with six top 10s and three top fives in his first eight races this season. That includes a second-place finish last week in Bristol with this exact same car setup. Busch also has a pair of wins at Richmond Raceway and led 98 laps in this event last season before eventually finishing 11th. He has the speed in his Stewart Haas Racing Ford to get to the top of this 2019 Toyota Owners 400 leaderboard.
For the triumph, Roberts is eyeing an underdog with double-digit odds to jolt the field and just take down the 2019 Toyota Owners 400. His selection and his leaderboard will surprise many, but anybody who backs this long haul could hit a massive payday.
