Kevin Harvick continued to distance himself from the rest of the pack in the first week of the 2020 NASCAR Playoffs with a win at Darlington last Sunday. Now the 2014 NASCAR Cup Series champion looks to continue a dominant season at Richmond Raceway on Saturday night. Harvick is 19 points clear of Denny Hamlin in the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series standings and he'll look to extend that lead at the 2020 Federated Auto Parts 400. The green flag drops at 7:30 p.m. ET and the 38-driver starting grid has been set using a formula NASCAR created earlier this year.
Harvick will start on the poll and he's one of the 7-2 co-favorites along with Martin Truex Jr. in the 2020 Federated Auto Parts 400 odds from William Hill. Hamlin is a Virginia native with three career wins at Richmond and he's listed at 4-1 in the NASCAR at Richmond odds.

It got off to a hot start on its NASCAR picks following the coronavirus hiatus as well, calling seven of the top 10 drivers at both Darlington races. Using the model, McClure also recommended an outright play on winner Brad Keselowski at 13-1 as one of his best bets at Bristol in May.
The model also called Kevin Harvick's win at Atlanta and nailed a whopping nine top-10 finishers in that race. McClure also used the model to lock in an outright bet on Hamlin winning at 10-1 at Miami. At The Brickyard, the model called Harvick's fourth victory of the season, and also identified four top-five drivers in the All-Star Race at Bristol.

Top 2020 Federated Auto Parts 400 predictions
The model is high on high on Chase Elliott, even though he's a 15-1 long shot in the latest NASCAR at Richmond odds from William Hill. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Elliott is seventh in the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series standings and is 61 points back of Harvick and he's coming off a disappointing 20th-place finish at Darlington after starting on the poll and leading 114 laps.
However, he's got a pair of wins this season and he's been improving as a short track racer in general. Elliott finished fifth at Martinsville earlier this season and he's got a pair of top-five finishes at Richmond, including a second-place run at the 2018 Toyota Owners 400.
And a massive shocker: Martin Truex Jr., one of the Vegas co-favorites at 7-2, stumbles big time and barely crack the top five. There are far better values in this loaded field. After winning 23 times the last four seasons, Truex only made it to Victory Lane once during the regular season and then began the 2020 NASCAR Playoffs with a 22nd-place finish at Darlington last week.
Truex is now 57 points back of Harvick in the NASCAR standings and he'll have to start back in 14th at the 2020 Federated Auto Parts 400. Even with wins in each of the last two races at Richmond and a win at Martinsville earlier this season, Truex will have his work cut out to navigate past 13 other NASCAR Cup Series championship contenders at Richmond Raceway on Saturday night.
How to make 2020 Federated Auto Parts 400 picks
The model is also targeting four other drivers with 2020 NASCAR at Richmond odds of 14-1 or longer to make a serious run at the checkered flag, including a massive 50-1 long shot. Anyone who backs these drivers could hit it big. You can only see who they are here.
