By Drew Sharper
BRISTOL, TN (TheSpread) – The 2015 NASCAR Food City 500 will take place this afternoon from Bristol Motor Speedway. Here is a look at some picks we like for this race.
According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, Kevin Harvick and Brad Keselowski are the co-favorites to win this race, as each has 5/1 odds while Joey Logano and Matt Kenseth each have 6/1 odds. The Food City 500 will take place from Bristol Motor Speedway today at 1:13PM ET.
Matt Kenseth is on the pole and is coming to one of the tracks he has been very strong at. Kenseth has a total of three wins at Bristol Motor Speedway with an average finish of 12.2 at the track. His driver rating here is best of any driver in the field at 103.4. Look for him to contend for the win today.
Joey Logano has 6/1 odds to win as well today and he is coming off a wire-to-wire win in the Xfinity Series race on Saturday. Logano will start sixth today and he is a former winner at this track in the Sprint Cup Series. Look for him to build off Saturday’s performance with a strong showing today.
Jeff Gordon has 18/1 odds to win today, but we think he is a strong play. Gordon is starting 23rd, but he has strong numbers at Bristol. Gordon is a five-time winner at this track and an average finish of 12.3 there. His driver rating is 99.9 at Bristol, which is second only to Kenseth. With his slow start to the season, Gordon needs a strong showing today. Look for him to get it.
