Food City Dirt Race pre-race favorites

Kyle Larson (+550)

Larson enters this race as the top favorite to finish first over the weekend. After a lackluster start to the season, the NASCAR Cup Series betting favorite has started to find his groove. He's picked up 52 points in his last two races including a Top-5 finish a couple of weeks ago in Richmond.

Larson finished 29th in this race last year but will look to perform much better on the dirt this time around and oddsmakers think he'll do just that.

Christopher Bell (+800)

Bell enters this race favored only behind Larson and will look to make plenty of noise come Sunday. The 27-year-old finished 19th here last year but has the skill to provide a much better result this season. Bell placed sixth last weekend but will look to break into the Top 5 in Tennessee. 

Joey Logano (+900)

The reigning Food City Dirt Race winner Joey Logano will look to do everything he can to repeat as the victor. Logano hasn't had a win yet this season but finds himself in fourth place for the NASCAR Cup Series and has a real chance to take home his first win on Sunday in the dirt.
