Last week, NASCAR hosted its largest event of this year in the Daytona 500, and it was about as unpredictable as one could expect.Denny Hamlin, a man known as a king of the restrictor-plate races, took home the triumph as a huge crash pumped out a massive section of the field down the stretch.
As racing begins, this week there will be sins on the track.
Kevin Harvick is the clear favored at 4/1 odds with just two career wins on the track and eight top-10 finishes in his last 10 races there. While Busch includes five top 10s in his last 10 races and two wins at AMS, kyle Busch and Joey Logano equally have 6/1 odds. Logano has no wins, but four top-10 finishes.
And while Martin Truex Jr. and Brad Keselowski may get lost in the shuffle, they’re more than formidable in Georgia.
Who wins? Kyle Larson is due for a win, although it might be foolish to choose against Harvick. The 26-year-old went with a win last season, but Atlanta could be the place for him. Larson has a second place finish in five career races at AMS and three top-10 finishes.
