NASCAR is headed to Kentucky Speedway for another Saturday night race. What can fans expect this weekend under the lights? Here are four predictions for the Quaker State 400.

Kentucky Speedway saw some changes in the off season. The track was repaved, banking in the corners was changed and it’s now the second track to use the new rule package that we saw in Michigan that changed the downforce on the Sprint Cup Cars.

NASCAR is set to race under the lights at the Quaker State 400, and with these recent changes at Kentucky, can NASCAR fans expect an exciting race or will this track continue to be like the many 1.5 mile cooke cutters that fill the Sprint Cup schedule?

What driver will be the one to end up in Victory Lane? Kyle Busch seems to be the favorite but can the driver of the 18 car, and defending winner at Kentucky, get it done on Saturday night?

And what about the different teams in NASCAR? Penske won their 100th Sprint Cup Series race at Daytona last week, but does that push them to be the top team?

With all these questions heading into the Quaker State 400 on Saturday night, here are four predictions for the race at Kentucky.
