2015 Pure Michigan 400 Odds, Free Picks & Predictions: Favorites & Contenders to Win

2015 Pure Michigan 400 Odds, Free Picks & Predictions: Favorites & Contenders to Win: It was only a couple of months ago that the Sprint Cup Series visited Michigan International Speedway, but a return trip to the 2.0-mile, D-shaped oval is already on tap this weekend. Despite the relatively short amount of time between races at MIS, there is a good chance the action on the track this weekend will be a lot different this weekend.

NASCAR will be implementing a different aerodynamic package this weekend. Specifically, the teams will be using a high-drag aero package that is similar to the one that was used at Indianapolis Motor Speedway a few weeks. There is no telling how the new rules package will impact that racing, but here is a closer look at the drivers with the best chance to conquer the new rules and the high speeds at Michigan this weekend.

2015 Pure Michigan 400 Odds, Free Picks & Predictions: Favorites & Contenders to Win

The Favorites 

Although he didn’t win the June event at Michigan, Kevin Harvick did lead the most laps and was leading the race when he cut a tire and was forced to make an extra pit stop. In addition to dominating much of the race earlier this year, he also finished second in the each of the four previous races at the track. Harvick won at MIS in 2010, and it is only a matter of time before he returns to victory lane.

Joey Logano joined Team Penske in 2012, and no driver has been better at Michigan since then. In five races at the track with the organization, he has never finished worse than ninth, and he leads all drivers with a 5.4 average finish and 194 laps led. Logano won at MIS in 2013, and he has finished in the top five in back-to-back races at the track.

Over the last 20 races at Michigan, Carl Edwards’ 10.1 average finish is the best in the series. During the same stretch, he has eight top-five finishes, including two wins, and he has only finished outside the top 12 four times. Perhaps more importantly, Edwards led the second most laps when the series visited MIS in June.

The Contenders

He has won twice at Michigan since joining Hendrick Motorsports, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. has been on quite a roll at the track lately. He has five finishes of seventh or better in his last seven starts at MIS, including three straight. During the stretch, he has four top-five finishes, including a second-place finish earlier this year.

While he has only won a single race at Michigan, Jimmie Johnson could easily have three or more wins. He has run out of gas while leading on the final lap on two separate occasions, and mechanical issues have ruined several other strong runs. Despite the bad luck, Johnson still leads all drivers in laps led and fastest laps run at MIS since 2005, so speed is never an issue.

His four wins at Michigan are the most among active drivers, and Greg Biffle has been one of the more dominant drivers at the track throughout his career. Since 2005, he ranks second in both laps led and fastest laps run. In his last seven starts here, Biffle has five top-10s, including three finishes of fourth or better.

Although he is still looking for his first win at Michigan, Brad Keselowski has been a fixture at the front of the field at the track for the last several seasons. He has finished 13th or better in eight straight starts here, and he has three straight top-10s. During the same span, Keselowski has logged three finishes of third or better.
