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