NASCAR Cup Series Championship Odds: Kevin Harvick Makes Final 4 Predictions; Stewart-Haas Racing Gets Aggie Treatment

Kevin Harvick dusted off his crystal ball.

The former NASCAR Cup Series driver and current pronogistator released his Championship 4 predictions.

As the circuit enters the first of three Round of 8 races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Harvick said during a “Happy Hour” episode that he expected Christopher Bell, William Byron, Kyle Larson and Tyler Reddick to advance to the circuit’s final four at Phoenix Raceway on Nov. 10.

“I think, for me, William Byron, Kyle Larson, Christopher Bell and Tyler Reddick,” Harvick predicted, via Harvick’s Happy Hour. “I just think that Reddick is going to be able to get it done on one of these two race tracks, and I don’t see (Joey) Logano and (Ryan) Blaney having the speed. Chase Elliott has been very consistent, and he’s had quality, good finishes, but I just haven’t seen that dominance out of those three guys. Denny Hamlin, I think he’s the wild card.”

The No. 4-ranked playoff driver, Byron sits four points above the elimination line. Defending series champion Ryan Blaney enters the third round of the playoffs four points behind Byron. Hamlin (minus-8), Elliott (minus-9) and Logano (minus-11) round out the playoff pilots.

BetOnline Sportsbook lists Larson (+350) as the sports-betting favorite to claim his second Cup Series championship.

Stewart-Haas Racing Gets Aggie Treatment

Stewart-Haas Racing will a new look for two of its final four Cup events this season. Texas A&M University announced a primary sponsorship deal with the lame-duck organization. Stewart-Haas will go dark following the Nov. 10 Championship 4 race.

Chase Briscoe’s No. 14 Ford will get the Aggie treatment for Sunday’s event at Las Vegas. Josh Berry’s No. 4 machine will carry the paint scheme for the finale at Phoenix Raceway.
