Engines will be revving again this coming Sunday, as the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series heads down south in Florida for the 2020 Dixie Vodka 400. Take a look at what the experts are saying about this race before heading to TopBet’s sportsbook to make your wagers.
Mike McClure of SportsLine believes that Kurt Busch (+2500) is going to shock a lot of people on Sunday with a strong performance at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Although not considered as a favorite, Busch has been very competitive this season, so far. Busch, who finished ninth at Martinsville last Wednesday, has cracked the top 10 in nine of his past 10 starts. He has zero wins to date this year, but has made the top five a total of three times. Furthermore, Busch has seven top 10s, including a win, in 19 career appearances at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Covers has specifically mentioned three favorite drivers to watch out for at the 2020 Dixie Vodka 400: Kevin Harvick (+450), Martin Truex Jr. (+450), and Kyle Busch (+500). Of the three, Truex has the most momentum heading into the race on Sunday, as he won the most recent race this season, taking the checkered flag at Martinsville just last Wednesday for his first win of the year. Harvick, meanwhile, won the first race this June, topping the field at Atlanta Motor Speedway during the 2020 Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500. As for Kyle Busch, he’s still searching for his first win of the season, but he can’t be ignored. Busch has two wins in 15 career starts at Homestead-Miami Speedway and won there just last year during the 2019 Ford EcoBoost 400.

Austin Dillon
The guys of Angles of Pursuit seem to be enamored of Austin Dillon (+8000) as a value pick. Dillon has cracked the top 10 three times in 11 starts this season. While he is comiong of a disappointing 37th-place finish in Martinsville, he appears to be a great value pick for this coming Sunday’s race in Florida. Dillon has gotten better and better at Homestead-Miami. He has finished inside the top 15 in each of his past five starts there. He’s also gone 11th, 11th, and eighth in his last three races at Homestead-Miami, respectively.

Kevin Harvick
Harvick (+450) put up a disappointing effort in Martinsville, as he failed to follow up his success at the 2020 Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 with a solid finish, settling for just the 15th place at the 2020 Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500. But according to our own resident editor Ryan Simpson, this only makes Harvick a prime rebound candidate, considering he’s got two wins at Homestead-Miami Speedway. He’s also finished no worse than fourth in any of his last six appearances at that track.
