Joey Logano, who won the Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube in Las Vegas in March, and multiple-time LVMS winner Kevin Harvick are next at 6-1, followed by Martin Truex Jr. and Denny Hamlin at 8-1.
MENCS Playoffs qualifiers Kyle Larson and Erik Jones are next at 12-1, with Las Vegas’ Kurt Busch at 15-1, Chase Elliott at 18-1, Ryan Blaney at 20-1. Alex Bowman and four-time LVMS winner Jimmie Johnson stand at 30-1, William Byron is 35-1 and Clint Bowyer has 40-1 odds.
