Kyle Busch has a chance to win again this week and one needs look no further than the odds to explain why.
The 33-year-old driver is a 2/1 preferred to win the Toyota Owners 400, which would be the odds any driver has had to win a race this season.
It’s for good reason. He’s not won a Cup-Series top three occasions this year, but he’s coming off of a success and has six career wins at Richmond Raceway and has finished in the top 10 in six of the previous seven races there. And oh yeah, he won both races there last year.
He will have rivalry that is good, although That is Busch’s race to lose. As good as Busch has been all year, Joey Logano has quietly been strong with a win and several top 10s and Denny Hamlin has two victories to go with a ton of high finishes, also.
Those two drivers have combined to win five races at Richmond and have a great opportunity to keep Busch from victory lane this week.
We are going to require Logano to win his second race of this season and third career event at Richmond coming from a third-place finish a week at Bristol.
The Toyota Owners 400 can be viewed Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET on FOX.
