Kyle Busch is the 3-1 favorite in sports betting at SBG to win this week?s NASCAR race at the Bristol Motor Speedway.
Carl Edwards is the second choice in online sports betting at 5.5 to 1 while Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin are next at 6.5 to 1
Starting up front definitely helps at Bristol as 22 of the 100 races have been won from the pole. 52 races have been one by a driver who started in one of the first four spots. 80 of the 100 races have been won by a driver who starts in the top 10. Pay attention to qualifying this week as if a driver is out of the top 10 you pretty much have to throw him out. Kurt Busch and Jeff Gordon each have five wins which is the most among the active drivers. Five of the last six races at Bristol have had a margin of victory of less than a second.
