OPTION 1: Kyle Busch (+1800)

Busch is still searching for his first win of the season, but has two top-5 finishes and five top-10 finishes. With only two races at Gateway Motorsports Park, the sample size is small, but Busch has an average driver rating of 137.6. In those two races, he has one win, two top-5 finishes and two top-10 finishes. If those trends hold, he will be in contention for the checkered flag today in Southern Illinois.

OPTION 2: Joey Logano (+900)

Remember that small sample size? Yes, Logano is the other driver with a victory at Gateway Motorsports Park. His other end of him here? Third. So even though he only has two races at this track, both resulted in Logano finishing in the top five. Like Busch, Logano hasn’t had the best season to date. He currently occupies 17^th in the NASCAR Cup standings and is 177 points behind leader Denny Hamlin. That being said, perhaps this track will offer the boost he needs to hit the ground running in 2024.

OPTION 3: Kyle Larson (+1400)

It’s not often we get the chance to face Larson at decent odds. Currently just six points behind Hamlin in the NASCAR Cup standings, Larson has two wins in 13 races this season, with six top-5 finishes and six top-10 finishes. He also has two races at this track and finished fourth and twelfth.^th, respectively. His average driver rating of 78.6 is not the best, but at least he has already shown that he can be in the top five.
