Kentucky
The Sprint Cup shifts their attention to the 1.5 mile track in Sparta for the Quaker State 400 this Saturday night. Widely regarded as one of the roughest on the circuit, Kentucky Speedway races much differently than the more traditional 1.5 milers in the series. This will only be the 4th year at this venue meaning there isn’t a huge historical sample size to observe when handicapping the race. Yet again no surprise as to what 2 drivers open as favorites however all the previous winners could be where the real value lies. While JGR hasn’t quite figured out their 1.5 mile package this year, could this be the week they breakout? You’ll have to watch Danielle Trotta and I break it all down.
