Kevin Harvick shares his opinion about the Iowa Cup race. Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick (Via IMAGO) The NASCAR Cup paddock is currently at Iowa Speedway for the inaugural top-tier stock car racing event on a 0.8-mile track. Fans and drivers have long been advocating for a high-level race at this track, and NASCAR has finally given approval for this season. Before the weekend, the 2014 Cup Series champion made his race predictions. The former SHR driver is betting on the three-time Daytona 500 winner to emerge victorious on the track. If Kevin Harvick’s prediction proves correct, it would be the veteran Joe Gibbs Racing driver’s fourth win of the year and could put him back in the championship points lead. Denny Hamlin is seeking redemption this weekend in Iowa after his streak of five top-five finishes came to an end last Sunday in Sonoma. His engine failed just two laps into the race in Sonoma, resulting in him being credited with last place. This cost him the top spot in the points standings, as the race winner took over the lead in the battle for the regular season championship. The former RCR driver also has another experienced driver in mind who has a good chance of winning. He pointed out that the two-time Cup champion historically performs well on tracks with new modifications. He also emphasized that the No. 22 Ford team is currently in good shape. The Fox commentator is anticipating that a veteran driver will secure a victory on the track, and it will be interesting to see if his predictions come true. Both of his choices are strong contenders, and both are highly motivated to win for different reasons. In case you missed it:
