Last week, NASCAR hosted its largest event of the year in the Daytona 500, and it was about as unpredictable as one can expect.Denny Hamlin, a man known as a king of the restrictor-plate races, took home the triumph as a massive crash knocked out a huge portion of the area down the stretch.
In Atlanta Motor Speedway, there will be several kings on the monitor as intermediate racing starts this week.
Kevin Harvick is the favorite that is clear at 4/1 chances with just two career wins over the track and eight top-10 finishes in his last 10 races there. Kyle Busch and Joey Logano equally have 6/1 odds, while Busch also has two wins at AMS and five top 10s in his last 10 races. Logano has four top-10 finishes, although no wins.
And while Martin Truex Jr. and Brad Keselowski can get lost in the shuffle, they are more than formidable in Georgia.
This week who wins? It may be foolish to pick against Harvick, but Kyle Larson is due for a win. Atlanta would be the spot for him to find Victory Lane, although the 26-year-old went with a triumph last season. Larson includes another place finish in five career races at AMS and three top-10 finishes.
