It takes a little bit of luck to survive 500 laps on the .5 mile track but I feel confident that if any of the 3 are near the front at the end of the race that they can bring home the trophy. Looks like rain is in the forecast for both races which is sucks because this is my favorite track and I hate waiting! With the new tire spitting rubbing all over the top groove we may just see the old style of bristol racing where the bottom is the preferred line and the bump-n-run was inevitable!
Sprint Cup - Food City 500
1.5 units - Kyle Busch +625
Has won 5 races here including winning four of the last 10.
In 18 career starts he has 5 wins, 8 top 5's, and 12 top 10's.
Nobody has been better here since they repaved the track in 07
1 unit - Brad Keselowski +850
2 Time Bristol Winner - Finished 3rd here last year leading 62 laps
Penske cars have a jump on the new rules package and are looking strong.
1 unit - Kurt Busch +2000
Tied with his brother kyle for the most win by an active driver at 5. Had a dominate car in the race here last year, plus he is in better equipment this year with SHR.
His aggressive driving style fits the track.
.5 units - Denny Hamlin +1400
Great short track racer, and as I am writing this he just landed the pole! Wasn't originally on my radar but at +1400 I couldn't pass him up.
.5 units - Clint Bowyer +1950
He would have 4 top 10's in the last 4 races if he didn't get spun by a lap car while leading the night race here last year.
He is good on the high banked tracks.
Nationwide Race
2.5 units - Kyle Busch +175
Won 5 of his last 7 races here in the series.
Led over 52% of the laps in the same 7 race span.
