It all comes down to Sunday, since the 2018 NASCAR Championship will be Determined at Homestead-Miami Speedway at 3 p.m. ET for the Ford EcoBoost 400.
Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Martin Truex Jr. and Joey Logano will be the racers who make up this season’s NASCAR Championship 4. Harvick and Busch are 11-4 co-favorites from the most current 2018 NASCAR in Miami chances, followed by Truex (6-1) and Logano (10-1). Harvick, Busch and Truex have won titles lately, while Logano is in the finals for the third time. With the 2018 Dragon Energy NASCAR Cup online, and other motorists in the field playing for pride, you will want to check out exactly what former Vegas bookmaker and NASCAR handicapper Micah Roberts has to say before bending in your own 2018 NASCAR at Miami picks.
Roberts pinpointed the NASCAR Playoffs race in Martinsville three weeks before, calling for Logano to take the checkered flag at Martinsville despite being a 12-1 underdog. Logano bumped Truex Jr. from the way on the last lap for the massive victory.
Roberts also chose the winners of two races of the 2018 NASCAR Playoffs, calling for Brad Keselowski to succeed at Vegas at 12-1 odds and also for Busch to secure his seventh win of the season, which he did in Richmond after beginning from the 11th spot. Roberts also picked Truex Jr. five months ago at Charlotte, who had been in line to triumph before Jimmie Johnson wiped out him on the final lap.
In the 2017 playoffs, Roberts chose nine of 10 winners. That was no fluke: In 2016, he told readers to back Hamlin in 15-1 in the Daytona 500. The result: Hamlin edged Truex for the checkered flag. Roberts also pinpointed Hamlin in 40-1 to win at Watkins Glen after that year.
Now, he’s examined the 2018 NASCAR Cup championship area from every possible angle and locked in his Ford EcoBoost 400 picks. You can see his whole projected leaderboard just at SportsLine.
We could tell you he isn’t going with Truex, who won this race one year ago, to triumph in Miami. In fact, Roberts states Truex is shut out of the top four. Truex has not won since July and has failed to finish better than third since the start of August. He’s captured four checkered flags this season, but Roberts says that the are far better values on the NASCAR at Miami odds board.
Instead, among those 2018 Ford EcoBoost 400 picks he likes to finish close to the front: Brad Keselowski, a 15-1 darkhorse that has been a front-runner on 1.5-mile paths previously.
“He has led at 26 laps in his final four starts on 1.5-mile tracks with a third-place ending at Kentucky, a win at Las Vegas, a sixth-place run at Kansas, along with a 12th-place at Texas,” Roberts told SportsLine. “He was seventh at Homestead last year and his best was twice.”
For the triumph, Roberts is moving with a driver he has been eyeing all season long to win the Ford EcoBoost 400. His also has a non-championship competitor finishing at the top four, and anybody who backs them can strike it big.
