There isn't a driver more in the zone right now than Kevin Harvick.

After winning the Big Machine Hand Sanitizer 400 last weekend, the 44-year-old is in a familiar spot atop the odds board for this Sunday's Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway.

Will Harvick take another checkered flag in the Cup Series, or is there value elsewhere?

Here's everything you need to know about the Quaker State 400 from a betting perspective.

Odds to win

The favorites

Harvick (+300) notched his second win in three weeks last Sunday. He's been on fire over the current Cup Series, placing top-five in nine of the 16 races.

The veteran hasn't finished better than fifth in 10 career races at Kentucky Speedway, but Harvick still has a solid floor - his average finish is 10.8.

Denny Hamlin (+400) is also in the mix despite not owning a win on the course. However, the No. 11 car has fared well over the current series, netting four outright victories and nine top-five finishes across 16 starts.

Trending up

Brad Keselowski (+800) could be a steal. He has three wins at Kentucky Speedway and six top-10 finishes in nine tries.

If you need a flier to bet, look no further than Aric Almirola (+2500). Although the 36-year-old struggled early in the Cup Series (with an average finish of 17.5 over the first 11 races), he's been in the zone lately, placing fifth or better in each of the last five.

Trending down

Clint Bowyer (+3000) is slumping hard, and this isn't an ideal track for him to get going. Bowyer has finished outside the top five in each of the last seven overall races and owns an average finish of just 16.7 at Kentucky Speedway.
