Four-time Kobalt 400 winner and seven-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Champion Jimmie Johnson is part of a quartet listed at 6-1 that includes Las Vegas' Kyle Busch, Joey Logano and Chase Elliott.
In addition, Martin Truex Jr. sits at 8-1 odds, with three-time Kobalt 400 winner Matt Kenseth and Kyle Larson next at 10-1. Dale Earnhardt Jr. follows at 12-1, while Denny Hamlin has 15-1 odds and 2017 Daytona 500 Champion and Las Vegas native Kurt Busch - who won the Kobalt 400 pole with a record speed last year - is 18-1.
Kyle Busch opened as a 1-1 favorite to repeat as champion of the NASCAR Xfinity Series' Boyd Gaming 300 on Saturday, with Logano next at 7-2 and Keselowski and Larson following at 4-1.
