Kyle Busch

doesn’t represent much moneyline value, but the fact that he has won three times here and also has three wins this season makes him a must-pick. His average finish for the 2019 season is 2.6, and his worst finish in his last eight races is sixth. At Texas Motor Speedway, he has eight top-five finishes in his last 12 starts, and he has also won here in the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series and the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

Joey Logano

has been a feast-or-famine driver, and the feasts and famines have been alternating with one another. He has two straight wins coming after finishes outside the top ten — and he did not make the top ten last week. He has also raced well at Texas Motor Speedway, winning the O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 five years ago and posting an average finish of 3.6 over his last six starts in this event. In his last 12 races at Texas Motor Speedway, he has 10 top-seven finishes.

Jimmie Johnson

is further up the odds list than usual — and that’s because of his history in this event and at Texas Motor Speedway. He has won twice at the O’Reilly Auto Parts 500, and he has been cracking the top 10 lately. So his racing is starting to show signs of life. Should you take advantage of the value here? I’m not guaranteeing a win by any means, but his track record here and his improvements in racing results lately make him a legitimate dark horse.

Kevin Harvick

has never won the spring race at Texas Motor Speedway, but he is the two-time defending winner of the fall race there. Harvick also has yet to draw the checkered flag in 2019, but he has picked up a pair of stage wins so far and is just about always there close to the finish. He doesn’t represent a lot of value here, but he does well in Texas and should garner consideration.

Denny Hamlin

is another dark horse and currently has two career wins at Texas Motor Speedway. He hasn’t won here since 2010, a lengthy drought, but he did win the Daytona 500 this year. He has been hit-or-miss since then, but the ways in which Toyota has dominated early racing make Hamlin an interesting pick from down the moneyline list.

Martin Truex Jr

is still looking for his first career win at Texas Motor Speedway. He has cracked the top ten five times in his last six races here, and his overall form has been solid. Given the value you can get on him, consider adding him to your card as well.
