@ Kansas Speedway (1.5 mi)

Picks: Perhaps it's force-of-habit from Gen 6 intermediate races, but I typically go to GR-LR first for these races. Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson are 1A and 1B on intermediates this season at 1.65 and 1.63, respectively. There's then a step down to Tyler Reddick at 1.25, another step to Ryan Blaney at 1.07, and then masses leader Christopher Bell rounds out the top five at 0.97. Brad Keselowski has the best average finish on intermediates; Hamlin's been second best. Larson has been unable to convert series-best starting and running positions into finishes. I'd bet on that changing.

Larson or Hamlin, Reddick if there's a late yellow.
