NBC Sports’ NASCAR writers once again put their heads together to predict who will win today’s Hollywood Casino 400 at Kansas Speedway.
Here’s our picks and be sure to follow each of our staff members on Twitter.
Dustin Long (@dustinlong)
He wins the race that got away from him last year.
Nate Ryan (@nateryan)
His 2016 turnaround showed its first signs of life here and he always seems a factor on 1.5-mile tracks.
Daniel McFadin (@DanielMcFadin)
After a nearly silent run up front at Charlotte, Truex will finally conquer a track that’s slipped from his grasp too many times to count.
Jerry Bonkowski (@jerrybonkowski)
My gut tells me Carl Edwards will finally win at Kansas, but my better judgment tells me Kyle Busch. In a sense and by his standards, the younger Busch brother is long overdue to reach victory lane. His last win was in July at the Brickyard 400, meaning he’s winless in the last 10 races.

Matt Kenseth
I’d bet he hasn’t forgotten about last year and with starting on the pole, it wouldn’t surprise me if Kenseth doesn’t give anyone the chance to get close to him late on Sunday.
