Picking a winner based on the odds for Thursday night's NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway (7:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN) is a challenge because the previous seven races on 1.5-mile ovals this season have produced seven different winners. And as Austin Dillon proved last week, a late-race shuffle could lead to an upset winner even at an intermediate track.

Jimmie Johnson Opening odds to win: 50-1 Best Kansas finish: 1st (three times, most recently in spring of 2015).

Brad Keselowski and Denny Hamlin won the pair of Cup Series races at Kansas last season with the same rules package being used in 2020, and both are near the top of the odds board for Thursday night's race. But Kevin Harvick is the clear favorite at Kansas.

The following drivers don't have odds better than 100-1 but may provide good value: Christopher Bell: 100-1 Cole Custer: 125-1 Ryan Newman: 125-1. NASCAR odds to win at Kansas Harvick, the NASCAR Cup Series points leader, is the favorite for Thursday night’s race with good reason. He has the best driver rating (108.7) at Kansas among all drivers in the field, and he and Jimmie Johnson are tied for the most career victories at this track among active drivers with three apiece. Chase Elliott comes in at 8/1 odds to win and has shown that he’s been great in 2020 but only has one win, not including the All-Star win last week. Kansas has turned into one of his better tracks. “To me, Kansas feels like such a small mile and half compared to some of the other ones we go to,” Elliott said.

Martin Truex Jr., also known as Mile-And-A-Half Martin, naturally is near the top of the odds board, as well, even though his lone win so far this season came on a short track (Martinsville) rather than a 1.5-mile oval. He did finish third at Atlanta and second at Kentucky.

Below are the complete Vegas odds to win Thursday night's NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas plus our top three picks of drivers who could end up taking the checkered flag.

He has the best driver rating (108.7) at Kansas among all drivers in the field, and he and Jimmie Johnson are tied for the most career victories at this track among active drivers with three apiece.

As if Harvick needed any help, he was given the pole position to start Thursday night's race based on the results of a random draw. Joey Logano will join Harvick on the front row.

NASCAR at Kansas expert picks

1. Kevin Harvick

• Three wins, eight top fives, 15 top 10s
• Average finish of 8.583, series-best
• Average running position of 9.022, series-best
• Driver rating of 108.7, series-best

As the points standings show, Harvick's team has been the most consistent and arguably the best in the Cup Series this season on all tracks, but especially intermediate circuits. Add Harvick's history of success at Kansas to the equation, and we have an easy pick to make.

2. Ryan Blaney

• Three top fives, five top 10s
• Average finish of 15.700, 11th-best
• Average running position of 10.086, second-best
• Driver rating of 94.7, sixth-best

Blaney undoubtedly had the best car at Texas last week and likely would have won the race had a caution not come out during a green flag pit stop cycle late in the race. He'll have a chance for redemption at a similar track Thursday night.

3. Martin Truex Jr.

• Two wins, eight top fives, 10 top 10s
• Average finish of 13.870, sixth-best
• Average running position of 11.542, fifth-best
• Driver rating of 99.6, fourth-best

Truex tends to run well at Kansas, as only Harvick, Blaney, Johnson and Matt Kenseth have better career average running positions at the track. He is statistically the best Joe Gibbs Racing driver at Kansas, giving him an edge in a strong JGR stable that's looking for its first win in a month.
