NASCAR racing is back on Saturday night (June 28) as the NASCAR Cup Series field heads to Atlanta for the second time this season to battle at the newly renamed EchoPark Speedway.
Writer of 5 Points to Ponder and local Georgia native Brad Harrison joins host Wyatt Watson to dish out their best bets for the shortest pack racing track on the schedule and for the inaugural NASCAR In-Season Challenge.
Team Penske drivers are favorites going into the weekend with Ryan Blaney (+850 odds) toping the Penske trio in the sportsbooks. Who else can replicate what Christopher Bell (+1,900) was able to achieve earlier this year and stun the books in Hampton, Ga.?
Denny Hamlin and William Byron both share the odds on favorites at+500 odds to win the In-Season Challenge, but with wild card races of EchoPark, Chicago street course, and Sonoma Raceway in the five-race tournament, who else could be a good bet to win the $1 million?
