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

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

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

We have a similar scenario at Charlotte this weekend, so I will surely rely on long-run speed along with 1.5-mile performance this year and beyond Charlotte oval functionality when handicapping the race.

Equipped with 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 about the odds under: A $100 bet at +375 chances would profit $375, while a $200 wager at -200 chances would pay out $100.

Kevin Harvick +600 to Win

Kyle Busch is the preferred thanks to his outstanding rate in Happy Hour and three wins to Harvick’s zero wins this year. However, it might be argued that Harvick should be a co-favorite despite finishing only 13th on the 10-lap plank in final practice.

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