It all comes down to Sunday, since the 2018 NASCAR Championship will be Determined at Homestead-Miami Speedway at 3 p.m. ET for Its Ford EcoBoost 400.
Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Martin Truex Jr. and Joey Logano will be the racers who constitute this season’s NASCAR Championship 4. Harvick and Busch are 11-4 co-favorites from the latest 2018 NASCAR in Miami odds, followed by Truex (6-1) and Logano (10-1). Harvick, Busch and Truex have each won titles recently, while Logano is in the finals for the next time. With the 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup online, and other motorists in the field playing for pride, you’ll want to check out exactly what former Vegas bookmaker and NASCAR handicapper Micah Roberts has to say before locking in your 2018 NASCAR at Miami picks.
Roberts nailed the NASCAR Playoffs race in Martinsville three weeks ago, 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 Vegas at 12-1 odds and also for Busch to procure his seventh win of the year, which he did in Richmond after starting from the 11th spot. Roberts also picked Truex Jr. five months back at Charlotte, who was in line to win before Jimmie Johnson wiped him out on the final lap.
In the 2017 playoffs, Roberts picked nine of 10 winners. That was no fluke: In 2016, he advised readers to back Hamlin in 15-1 at the Daytona 500. The end result: Hamlin edged Truex for the checkered flag. Roberts also pinpointed Hamlin at 40-1 to win at Watkins Glen after that year.
Now, he has analyzed the 2018 NASCAR Cup championship area from every possible angle and then locked in his Ford EcoBoost 400 picks. You can view his entire projected leaderboard just at SportsLine.
We can tell you he’s not going with Truex, who won this race a year ago, to win in Miami. In fact, Roberts states Truex is closed 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 year, however, Roberts says that the are far better worth on the NASCAR at Miami chances board.
Instead, one of the 2018 Ford EcoBoost 400 selections 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 in the past.
“He’s directed at least 26 laps at his last four starts on 1.5-mile tracks using a third-place ending at Kentucky, a win at vegas, a sixth-place run at Kansas, and a 12th-place at Texas,” Roberts told SportsLine. “He was seventh at Homestead last season and his best was third, twice.”
For the win, Roberts is going with a driver he’s been eyeing all season long to acquire the Ford EcoBoost 400. His also offers a non-championship competitor finishing at the top four, and anyone who backs them can hit it big.
