Using the model, McClure also recommended an outright play on winner Brad Keselowski at 13-1 as one of his best bets at Bristol. The model also called Kevin Harvick's win at Atlanta and nailed a whopping nine top-10 finishers in that race. McClure also used the model to lock in an outright bet on Hamlin winning at 10-1 at Miami. And last week at The Brickyard, the model called Harvick's fourth victory of the season.

Top 2020 Quaker State 400 predictions

For the 2020 Quaker State 400, the model is high on Ryan Blaney, even though he's a 12-1 long shot in the latest 2020 NASCAR at Kentucky odds. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Blaney has shown signs that he's becoming one of the elite Cup Series drivers this season, but he's drawing longer NASCAR odds because of a recent skid.

Following his win at Talladega, he's finished outside the top 10 in three straight races. However, he's been strong at 1.5-mile tracks like Kentucky, finishing fourth or better in his four starts on them. With seven top-five performances this season, he's shown the ability to contend on any given week, making him one of the double-digit long shot drivers to back in your 2020 Quaker State 400 bets.

And a massive shocker: Kevin Harvick, the Vegas favorite at 4-1, stumbles big-time and barely cracks the top five. There are far better values in this loaded 2020 Quaker State 400 starting lineup. Harvick has been the most dominant driver in NASCAR this season and is coming off his fourth win of the season at The Brickyard on Sunday.

However, he hasn't been able to get over the hump at Kentucky so far in his career. Harvick has just one top-five finish at the 1.5-mile tri-oval and last year he failed to crack the top 20 altogether. With NASCAR still running without qualifying or practice, Harvick's track history makes him a fade on Sunday.

How to make 2020 Quaker State 400 picks

The model is also targeting two other drivers with 2020 NASCAR at Kentucky odds of 12-1 or longer to make a serious run at the checkered flag, including a massive long shot. Anyone who backs these drivers could hit it big. You can only see them here.
