Best bets
Kevin Harvick (+400 at DraftKings)
Clay: It’s been seven years since Harvick has finished outside the top 10 at Indy. In fact, he hasn’t experienced a result worse than second since 2016. A first- and second-place finish at Pocono has him riding a wave of momentum to Indiana where he will defend last season’s commanding victory. He led nearly 75 percent of that race to score his second Brickyard win in six attempts. Harvick is the favorite for a reason and it’ll be a tall order to keep him from victory lane on Sunday.
Joey Logano (+750 at DK)
Symmes:
