Kevin Harvick picks RFK Racing’s driver as favorite to win the 2025 Atlanta NASCAR Cup race

As the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series season heads to EchoPark Speedway, Kevin Harvick has shared his insights and predicted the winner of the 2025 Quaker State 400, which is set to take place this weekend. Harvick picked an RFK Racing driver to win Saturday’s (June 28) Quaker State 400 at EchoPark Speedway.

On the recent weekly episode of his ‘Kevin Harvick’s Happy Hour’ podcast, the former NASCAR driver turned commentator Harvick and his co-hosts, Kaitlyn Vincie and Mamba Smith, dropped their winner’s prediction for this week’s Atlanta Cup race.

Kevin Harvick picked Brad Keselowski to win at EchoPark Speedway. Harvick has shown confidence in the RFK Racing driver/co-owner to claim his first win of the season.

“I'm going to pick Brad Keselowski." Harvick said while picking the driver to win the Atlanta race. [59:35 onwards].

Harvick’s co-host, Vincie, initially picked Ricky Stenhouse Jr. but changed it to the defending winner of the event, Joey Logano, to claim back-to-back Quaker State 400 titles.

“The other one is Logano [Joey],” Vincie said.

Meanwhile, co-host Mamba Smith picked Ricky Stenhouse Jr. to clinch his first win of the season this weekend. Smith said:

“My brain really wants to pick Ryan Blaney; my heart is telling me Ryan Priest because they're in that situation, but I'm going with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. I'm going, Ricky, because they've got to like this because I think for them they have two races that they can get done, and it's this one in Daytona that they're probably putting their eggs in these baskets.”
