| Joey Logano is 14-to-1 to win this week at William Hill. |
Three more invites are awaiting among the seven eligible drivers. Win at either Texas this week or Martinsville next week and get the automatic bid, or else score the most points to advance.
Logano wasn’t expected by most to be one of the Championship 4 drivers because he last won a race before the pandemic shutdown. He had won two of the four races before it, but none after the season was rebooted, until Sunday.
The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook’s updated futures have Logano at 3-1 to win the 2020 Championship behind Kevin Harvick (6-5), and ahead of Denny Hamlin (7-2).
Logano has no pressure now and can coast into Phoenix where they’ll be using the race package with 750 horsepower which has proven to be his best package this season — he won at Phoenix in March. But he also showed signs of improved performance in the 550 hp package he won with Sunday at Kansas and it was apparent they were all better with it in the July 19 Texas race when he finished third after leading 22 laps.
Sunday’s AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 500 at Texas will be the 11th and final race on a 1.5-mile track and also the 20th and final race using the 550 hp package. Eight of the 10 races on 1.5s have been won by different drivers with Hamlin and Logano having multiple wins. Harvick has a series-leading nine wins on the season, but just one win on a 1.5 track (Atlanta, June 7). On Sunday at Kansas, Harvick was runner-up after leading a race-high 85 laps.
