Kyle Larson leads the championship and is the biggest favorite to win this weekend
Kyle Larson has taken over the first place from Denny Hamlin in this year’s NASCAR Cup Series after finishing third in the previous race. Now the 2021 NASCAR Casino 400 predictions favor him to win the next event this weekend as well which will be at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan.
The first race at Michigan International Speedway was held in 1969, which was won by Cale Yarborough. He became the most successful driver at the track with six victories. In the current era, several championship drivers have already won here. Like Denny Hamlin, Kurt Busch, or Joey Logano, while Kevin Harvick is the defending champion. Who will try to win the race twice in a row after Hamlin’s double victory back in 2010 and 2011? The race has 200 laps in the 2-mile oval track with Kyle Larson starting from the pole position. The young Hendrick Motorsport driver is currently leading the championship and leads the odds for the race this weekend.
Larson is the Top Favorite in the 2021 NASCAR Casino 400 Predictions
Kyle Larson has already won five races this season. With another win, he can get the best result of his NASCAR career so far. What an impressive return from the 29-year-old driver who was suspended last season after a negative comment made on an iRacing event. He signed a contract with Hendrick Motorsports at the end of last season which proved to be a great move from both sides. Larson finished third in Indianapolis last weekend and managed to overtake Denny Hamlin in the overall standings. He got his first victory in this track back in 2016 and it is one of his strongest tracks. Online sportsbooks in the US favor him to win this weekend with the odds of +275.00.

Kyle Busch follows Larson in the 2021 NASCAR Casino 400 predictions with the odds of +650.00. The two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion is currently in third place in the championship standings. He is well behind Larson and Hamlin though with 796 points. But the Joe Gibbs Racing driver has already won two races this season and finished six more times on the podium. Last weekend he only finished 20th but Busch can get a better result in Michigan. His teammate, Martin Truex Jr. is also in the favorites with the odds of +750.00. The 2017 champion also got two victories this season but his performance is not so balanced in 2021.
Former Race Winners Can Get Another Victory in Michigan
Kevin Harvick is the defending champion in this race but he hasn’t got any wins this year. The Stewart-Haas Racing’s driver is only in 9th place in the overall standings. Which might be disappointing after his previous season. When he was so unstoppable in the regular season and got 9 wins. Harvick is a five-time winner at this track so this can be a perfect opportunity for him to get back to winning. Online gambling sites in the US offer the odds of +900.00 for his victory.
Joey Logano has also won here three times, in 2013, 2016, and 2019. The Team Penske driver hasn’t been too convincing in the last few weeks. The 2018 champion has one win this season from Bristol and four podium finishes, making him 6th at the moment. While the defending series champion, Chase Elliott has improved a lot in the second part of the season. He moved to fifth place in the overall standings. The Hendrick Motorsports driver finished second in Michigan three times before and has the best average finish here. Now his odds to get his third victory of the season are +800.00 on BetOnline.
