Gander RV 400 - Top Value Picks<br />
</h2>
<p>
Chase Elliott became the sixth different driver to lay claim to a checkered flag in a point race this season with last Sunday's thrilling victory at Talladega. A pair of longshots rounded out the Top 3 in that race with Alex Bowman taking second and Ryan Preece finishing third. My top-valued favorite was Joey Logano at +800 betting odds, and he kept things interesting in fourth place.

The betting odds to win this Sunday's race at Dover are on the board at FanDuel, and the following three drivers offer the best value in their numbers.

<h2>
Gander RV 400 Top Favorite - Kevin Harvick +500<br />
</h2>
<p>
Heading into the 11th point race of the season, Harvick has been patiently waiting to get his No. 4 Ford across the finish line first. He had an early day at Talladega with a wreck that dropped him 38th after finishing fourth at Richmond in his previous race. This race team is currently fourth in the Cup Series standings with 350 total points. This includes four runs inside the top five and seven of 10 in the top 10. It is just a matter of time before Harvick wins his first race of the season and I like the value in his odds to get it done on Sunday.
</p>
<p>
As the defending champ in this week’s event, his betting value automatically gets a boost. He also won the second race at Dover in 2015 as part of Harvick’s two career victories at this track in a Cup Series race.
</p>
<h2>
Gander RV 400 Top Contender - Kurt Busch +1500<br />
</h2>
<p>
Younger brother Kyle is the favorite to win on Sunday at +375 betting odds, but I really like the value in Kurt taking the checkered flag behind the wheel of the No. 1 Chevrolet. He has been one of the most consistent drivers this season with seven runs inside the top 10 in his first 10 Cup Series events. He came close to beating his younger brother at Bristol with a second-place finish, and he is coming off a respectable sixth-place finish in last week's race.
</p>
<p>
The main value in his betting odds is a pair of finishes in the top five of both races at Dover last season. Kurt’s lone Cup Series victory at this track was in the second race at Dover in 2011.
</p>
<h2>
Gander RV 400 Top Longshot - Daniel Suarez +4100<br />
</h2>
<p>
When the value for a few of the mid-range longshots is just not there, sometimes you have to go further down the list and take a flyer at really long odds. Suarez fits the bill for Sunday’s race. The Mexican-born driver is hoping to make his country proud on Cinco de Mayo driving the No. 41 Ford. His best finish of the year in just his third full-time season racing in the Cup Series was third at Texas. However, he is still searching for his first career win. All-in-all, Suarez has raced well enough this season to move his team into 12th place in the current standings with 266 total points.
</p>
<p>
While his past experience on the Monster Mile in a Cup Series race may be limited, he came close to winning this race last season by finishing third. All four of his previous four runs at this track have been inside the top 10.
