After a weekend at Texas, NASCAR heads to Bristol Motor Speedway to the race of This 2019 Cup Series season.

Sunday’s 500-lap Food City 500 marks the second race on a half-mile monitor this year, but Bristol’s unique concrete design with exorbitant banking is actually more like Dover’s one-mile track than Martinsville. Kevin Harvick kyle Busch and Chase Elliott have graced victory lane the 3 races in Dover.

Busch is currently Sunday’s race favorite at 5/2 chances at the Westgate SuperBook, together with Harvick and Elliott priced at 12/1 and 14/1, respectively. Busch, who has finished in the top 10 in each of NASCAR’s seven races this season, leads active drivers with seven wins at Bristol. In total, Busch has listed 10 top-five and 15 top-10 finishes in 27 starts at the monitor.

Even though Busch is hot this season, Harvick is not, particularly by his lofty standards. He has led just 133 laps and he’s led laps in just two races. He has led just 22 laps at Bristol over the previous four races there but has finished within the top 10 in every.

Considering the stiff betting matchups oddsmakers have Harvick in –from Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano and Kyle Larson — it’s tough to trust Harvick with the principles bundle used this week.
