Best Bets for Cup |
Denny Hamlin +850 | Top 3 +300 | Top 10 -160
Denny Hamlin enters as the favorite to win this Sunday despite having only one Top 10 finish since Atlanta’s reconfiguration. He showed pace in the DAYTONA 500 last week before being involved in a 22 car pileup in the final 10 laps. He’ll be looking to bounce back this weekend
Chase Elliott +1000 | Top 3 +300 | Top 10 -160
The Dawsonville native returns to his hometrack, looking to return to victory lane. Chase Elliott finished 13th in his only Atlanta start last year, having missed the first race due to injury. He finished 14th last week and will be looking to give the crowd what they want: a win by the hometown hero.
Joey Logano +1200 | Top 3 +350 | Top 10 -150
Scoring his first Cup win in Atlanta a year ago, Joey Logano will be looking to defend his trophy this season. The speed is the for Logano, as he was running inside the Top 5 during the DAYTONA 500 before getting taken out in the Big One. Logano will be determined to get the result he was looking for last week.
Brad Keselowski +1200 | Top 3 +350 | Top 10 -150
Last year was the one that got away for Brad Keselowski. Last week in the DAYTONA 500, Keselowski was running in the Top 5 before being turned in front of the pack by WIlliam Byron, causing the Big One to unfold in Turn 3. He’s still looking for his first win since 2021, and it has a good chance at coming this Sunday.
Bubba Wallace +2000 | Top 3 +600 | Top 10 +100
The performance hasn’t been there for Bubba Wallace in Atlanta, but momentum could swing that in his favor. Coming off a Top 5 finish in the DAYTONA 500, there’s high hopes with 23XI Racing that it’ll continue to blossom heading into Atlanta.
Daniel Hemric +8000 | Top 3 +2000 | Top 10 +280
Daniel Hemric is one of the longshots to win this weekend, but has had success in the past in Atlanta. Last season in the Xfinity Series, Hemric finished 2nd in both races. Kaulig Racing always builds good cars for the Superspeedways, and they’re looking to give a rocket to the 2021 Xfinity Series Champion this weekend.
