Dixie Vokda 400 6/14/20 - NASCAR Picks & Predictions
Miami is going to host the Dixie Vodka 400 this year and that could make the first race to have live fans at the race since the coronavirus shutdown. The race at Homestead this year will definitely have a difference as the race will be ran entirely under a summer sun of Florida, instead of a November sun when it is cooler and not as warm. That will make for different track conditions, but also potential driver fatigue.
Kevin Harvick is one driver that is definitely favored at the race. However, with his experience and age it could become an issue as Harvick may have some issues as he gets older and is unable to really push himself to the top this year. Look for Harvick to make a good run here, but even with his history they have all been in November and the changing track conditions could really impact the race conditions.
Austin Dillon is one driver that has been able to run really well at Miami, but he would be a massive long shot at +8000. He has ran good at Homestead, but he has not done better than 8th in his career here and that was last season. What else could hurt him is the lack of practice in the summer heat of Miami.

The driver that actually has managed to rule Homestead lately and has been very impressive in his driving skills around the track is Kyle Busch. Busch may not be the best driver this year, but at Homestead he has been almost unstoppable. Look for Busch to build off of his win last year and actually come in and win this race, but it will be a close finish. Dixie Vodka 400 Winner Prediction, Kyle Busch.
