The Coca-Cola 600 will get underway in 6 pm ET on Sunday on FOX, with Kyle Busch as the clear favorite (+250 betting odds).
Kevin Harvick (+600) and Martin Truex Jr. (+600) are not too far behind in what’s going to be the longest race of this year.
Nick Giffen utilizes his statistical model to disability the four best futures values in the race.
For the second successive weekend, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will be racing in Charlotte Motor Speedwday (6:00 p.m. ET, FOX). However, this time rather than an All-Star shootout, motorists are in for a grueling 600 miles from the Cup Series’ longest race of this year.

Charlotte is a 1.5-mile oval with a relatively old surface that was repaved back in 2006. We saw from the All-Star race that tires failed to make a difference and that track position was also extremely significant, therefore this race should offer a good mix of numerous 1.5-mile tracks.

The latest 1.5-mile points-paying race was also a night race in Kansas Speedwday. In that race, the top five at average green-flag speed all showed up in the top nine at 15-lap speed in Happy Hour, regardless of the race being at nighttime and last practice throughout the day.

We have a similar situation at Charlotte this weekend, so I’ll surely rely on long-haul pace along with 1.5-mile performance this year and past Charlotte oval functionality when handicapping the race.

Equipped with all these data points, let us get right to my favorite bets to win tonight’s race, plus bonus top-five and top-10 props.

A fast primer on the odds under: A $100 bet at +375 chances would gain $375, while a $200 bet at -200 chances would cover $100.

Kevin Harvick +600 to Acquire
Kyle Busch is your preferred thanks to his exceptional speed in Happy Hour and three wins to Harvick’s zero wins this year. But, it might be argued that Harvick should be a co-favorite despite completing only 13th on the 10-lap plank in final practice.

That is because in opening training, he was much better relative to the rest of the field over 10 consecutive laps. His fifth-place time during the warmer temperatures is encouraging. Actually, Harvick’s Crew Chief Rodney Childers stated the cars are extremely sensitive to monitor changes, and that they were really good in opening practice throughout the warmer temperatures.
