Favorites
Kevin Harvick
[sc:NASCAR240banner ]Kevin Harvick is a well-deserved favorite (+450) for the MyAFibStory.com 400. He was spectacular at Chicagoland Speedway, leading the most laps (79) to a fifth-place finish at the track in 2014. Harvick has eight top five finishes, including a pair of wins in 14 starts at the track. He’s been incredible on 1.5-mile intermediate tracks this season leading 158 more laps than any other driver.
Brad Keselowski
Defending champion Brad Keselowski (+600) is another hot pick for this year’s MyAFibStory.com 400. He’s won two of the last three racs at the Chicagoland Speedway. Keselowski is the only driver that has finished in the top 10 in four straight races at the track. He’s been on a tear since mid-July with eight straight top 10 finishes, including placing second in three races.
Kyle Busch
The high from winning three straight races seem to be over for Kyle Busch (+600). But he’s still been a pretty solid driver with four top-10 finishes in the past six races, including placing second on two instances. Busch should be up there with the frontrunners in this race. He’s finished in the top seven in his last three races at the Chicagoland Speedway.

Johnson has a tasty price of +1,200 to win the MyAFibStory.com 400.
Long Shot
Clint Bowyer
You can put your trust in Clint Bowyer (+10,000) to put on a steady performance at Chicagoland this Sunday. He has seven top 10 finishes in nine starts at the track, including five in his last six.
