NASCAR AT ATLANTA ODDS, PICKS 2019: MODEL SAYS CHASE ELLIOTT SURPRISES AT FOLDS OF HONOR QUIKTRIP 500

The 2019 NASCAR schedule kicks into high gear Sunday with the 2019 Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

The green flag drops at two p.m. ET for your 325-lap race along with defending champion Kevin Harvick is the 4-1 favorite from the latest 2019 Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 odds. Falling in just behind him with 6-1 NASCAR at Atlanta odds are Joey Logano and Kyle Busch, who both finished in the top four last week at the Daytona 500. Prior to making your 2019 QuikTrip 500 picks and NASCAR at Atlanta predictions, be sure to check out the projected leaderboard from the proven computer model at SportsLine. Produced by DFS expert and SportsLine predictive information engineer Mike McClure, this proprietary NASCAR prediction computer model simulates every race 10,000 occasions, taking factors such as track history and current results into consideration. – Advertisement – It made some huge calls in NASCAR this past year, such as nailing wins for Kyle Busch at Chicago and Martin Truex Jr. at Sonoma. And it’s off to a strong start in NASCAR this year, calling Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin a leading contender from the beginning. Anybody who has followed its picks is way, way up. McClure, who has a mechanical engineering degree, grew up around race tracks. Big events in iconic venues like Atlanta Motor Speedway are in his blood. Now his version mimicked the 2019 Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 a total of 10,000 times and the results were so surprising. For your 2019 QuikTrip 500 in Atlanta, we could tell you the version is high on Chase Elliott, making a strong run in the checkered flag despite heading off at 10-1 odds. Elliott does not have a long history at Atlanta, but he has had success there in all three of his starts at the track since linking the Dragon Energy NASCAR Cup Series. He’s finished inside the top 10 in each of these races and even got a top-five finish in 2017. Before joining NASCAR’s top circuit, Elliott had two top-five finishes at Atlanta in the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Elliott is a Georgia native and his dad, Bill Elliott, won at NASCAR’s highest level in Atlanta Motor Speedway five occasions in his career, so it’s something of a house track for its 23-year-old. The model expects him to ride that edge towards the top of the leaderboard on Sunday. Another shocker from the version: Kyle Busch, one of the top Vegas favorites in 6-1, does not crack the top five. The 2019 Daytona 500 runner-up began on the rod in this race a season ago, but ended up finishing in seventh position. The year before, he had yet another quick ride in qualifying and began the race in third, but wound up in 16th. Considering his win at Atlanta at 2013, Busch has only run 56.7 percent of his laps within the top 15. For his career, he has finished outside the top 10 in 13 of his 20 career starts at Atlanta Motor Speedway. There are far better worth in this loaded 2019 QuikTrip 500 lineup compared to the 6-1 premium you will want to cover him. The model is also targeting three other motorists using 2019 NASCAR in Atlanta odds of 10-1 or even more time to make a serious run at winning it all. Anyone who backs these lengthy shots can hit it big. Read more: adamssportsblog.com
