 We begin the west coast swing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday. We should have a lot green flag racing here at Vegas this weekend, unlike the carnage we witnessed in the Daytona 500 last weekend.

 

Here are a few matchups to consider for Viva Las Vegas this weekend.

 

Kevin Harvick vs. Martin Truex Jr.

This matchup has split 2 and 2 in the last 4 races. Truex won the last race here at Vegas, but now has a new crew chief. I still think Truex can contend this weekend for a win, but I like Harvick better.

Jeff’s Pick: Kevin Harvick over Truex.

 

Kyle Busch vs. Denny Hamlin

Kyle has finished better than Hamlin in 3 out of the last 4 races here at Vegas. I will note that Denny had 1 DNF in this time span, also Denny also has only 1 top 10 finish.

Jeff’s Pick: Kyle Busch over Denny Hamiln

 

Chase Elliott vs Kyle Larson

This matchup has split 2 and 2 in the last 4 races. Chase had 2 top 10 finishes here last year. On top of that, Chase had a better average driver rating 106.5 compared to Larson’s average driver rating of 89.9 here at Vegas in 2019.

Jeff’s Pick: Chase Elliott over Kyle Larson

 

Matt DiBenedetto vs. Christopher Bell

Matt changed rides to the 21 car this year, and Christopher Bell has taken Matt’s spot in the 95 car. Traditionally, the 21 car has finished better than the 95 car at Vegas over the last 4 races here at Vegas. We will be talking about Bell in the future, but this weekend I like Matt Dibenedetto to finish better than Bell.

Jeff’s Pick: Matt DiBenedetto over Christopher Bell

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
