Nick Giffen utilizes his statistical model to disability that the four greatest futures betting values from the race.
For the second consecutive weekend, the Monster 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 in the Cup Series’ longest race of the year.
Charlotte is a 1.5-mile oblong with a comparatively old surface which has been repaved back in 2006. We saw in the All-Star race which tires failed to make a difference and that track position was also extremely significant, therefore this race ought to provide a good mix of numerous 1.5-mile tracks.
The most recent 1.5-mile points-paying race was also a night race in Kansas Speedwday. In that race, the top five in typical green-flag rate all showed up in the top nine in 15-lap rate in Happy Hour, despite the race being at nighttime and final practice throughout the day.
We’ve got a similar scenario at Charlotte this weekend, so I will certainly rely on long-haul pace along with 1.5-mile performance this season and past Charlotte oval functionality when handicapping the race.
Equipped with these data points, let’s get right into my four favorite bets to win tonight’s race, also bonus top-five and top-10 props.
A quick primer about the odds under: A $100 bet at +375 chances would gain $375, while a $200 bet at -200 odds would pay out $100.
Kevin Harvick +600 to Win
Kyle Busch is your preferred thanks to his exceptional speed in Happy Hour and three wins to Harvick’s zero wins this season. However, it might be argued that Harvick ought to be a co-favorite despite finishing only 13th on the 10-lap board in closing practice.
That’s because in opening training, he was considerably better relative to the remainder of the field over 10 consecutive laps. His fifth-place time throughout the warmer temperatures is encouraging. In fact, Harvick’s Crew Chief Rodney Childers said the cars are extremely sensitive to monitor changes, which they were really great in opening practice during the cooler temperatures.
