Yahoo Sports’ Nick Bromberg eyes two playoff drivers with good mid-tier value in Logano and Kevin Harvick who both have +1400 moneylines entering the weekend and suggests taking a flier on fellow playoff contender Daniel Suarez at +3300.

Weather forecast for the Hollywood Casino 400

Rain is in the forecast for both days of the weekend and with both the ARCA Menards and Xfinity Series in Kansas City, KS, staging support races on Saturday, rain could wreak havoc with the on-track schedule. There is some wiggle room with the schedule as the Cup race is the only event on Sunday, so if need be either support series could run before the Cup cars.
