correctly picked 6 of 7 race winners so far in 2014.
Gonna be an interesting Nationwide race at Las Vegas as the only driver in the field with a Nationwide win at this track is Joe Nemechek from back in 2003. Matt Kenseth does have 3 Sprint Cup wins here including last year.
I'm gonna avoid Kyle Busch this weekend as his 19.8 average finish her is his worst on Nationwide tracks where he's made more than 1 start. He has 5 finishes outside the Top 15 in his last 6 Nationwide starts here. No value at all for him here.
Brad Keselowski has an average finish of 21.6 here which is his worst on oval tracks in the Nationwide series. He has 2 Top 5's in his last 4 starts here and has led at least 10 laps in his last 3 starts here so I will give him a shot
Matt Kenseth has an average finish here of 25.1 but he has 2 Top 6's in his last 3 starts here and led at least 60 laps in each of those 2 starts. He also has the 3 Cup wins here including last year so I'll take a shot with him too.
Trevor Bayne has made 4 Nationwide starts here and hasn't finished worse than 6th and his average finish of 4.8 is the best in the field. He led 21 laps here last year before finishing 4th. Great odds for him Saturday.
My longshot pick is going to be Matt Crafton. This is his first Nationwide start here but he has finished in the Top 10 in all 3 of his career Nationwide starts, including 2 Top 5's. He has 3 runner up finishes in his last 5 truck races at this track so he knows how to get to the front here. Even at +3000 he still has a decent shot to get a win.
2* Brad Keselowski (+350)
2* Matt Kenseth (+400)
1* Trevor Bayne (+1500)
1* Matt Crafton (+3000)
may add a couple matchups come Saturday
