NASCAR: 5 drivers most likely to win the 2018 Quaker State 400

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series goes under the lights again this Saturday at Kentucky. Here are the five drivers most likely to win the Quaker State 400.

After a disaster-filled Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway last Saturday night, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series gets back to a more conventional 1.5-mile oval at Kentucky Speedway.

This will be the second race in a row held at night with hopefully as many fireworks as there were last week. The action in the Cup Series is heating up as we approach the final races before the playoffs begin.

2017 NASCAR Cup Series Rookie of the Year Erik Jones found victory lane for the first time in his career last Saturday at Daytona. His win was earned after several cars were collected in various wrecks throughout the evening. It was truly a battle of staying out of the carnage in order to get the win and Jones was able to do just that.

This weekend, it will be interesting to see if anyone can outrun the “big three” at a 1.5-mile oval. There are a few names that come to mind who I feel could beat Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Jr. and Kyle Busch. However, beating any of those three on Saturday will be no small task.
