Kyle Busch is the obvious favorite for Saturday’s Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race (7:30 p.m. Et/NBCSN/PRN/SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). He’s won three of his last four starts at the Bristol (Tenn) Motor Speedway including just this past spring. That has him at +275 odds to win.

Because of that, the rest of the field have some good lines.

Busch’s teammate Denny Hamlin is (+1300) and finished fifth in this race in April. Also, Hamlin enters as arguably the hottest driver in NASCAR right now with five consecutive top five finishes and four of which in the top three. Busch’s brother Kurt Busch (+1300) some how has the same odds as Hamlin despite finishing runner-up in the spring race and won this race last year. He has six Bristol wins and three top five results in his last four Bristol starts overall.

Kurt Busch’s teammate Kyle Larson has four top 10 finishes in five tries including a runner-up in both races last year. He led 202 laps in the spring race of 2017 and followed that up with 70 in the fall race that year. Last season, he led 200 and 17 laps respectively. He has three straight top eight finishes on the season and four top 10’s results in his last five tries.

Kevin Harvick (+750) just won last weekend and is the only repeat winner since June. He also has seven top 10 finishes in his last eight Bristol starts including a win in this race in 2016. His teammate Clint Bowyer (+2000) has four top eight finishes in five tries since he’s been a member of Stewart-Haas Racing and six top 10’s in his last eight overall starts there.

Another (+2000) driver is Erik Jones. He has been hot lately with four top four finishes in his last five starts on the year to go along with finishes of second in this race in 2016 and fifth last year. In the XFINITY Series, Jones has two wins in his last three starts including four top eight’s in five tries.

Joey Logano is (+700) with seven top 10 finishes in his last eight Thunder Valley starts. He was third in the spring after leading 146 laps. His teammate Ryan Blaney (+2000) has three top 10 finishes in his last four Bristol starts including 10th in this race in 2017 and seventh last year. He also finished fourth in the spring race. Furthermore, Blaney led 221 laps combined in 2018 and 158 more back in April. He has three top 10 finishes in his last four starts on the year and the only reason it’s not four straight is because he ran out of gas at the end of last weekend’s race in Michigan. The Ohio native also has six top 10 finishes (9 starts) since June 10.

The last 10 Bristol night race winners came from either Joe Gibbs Racing, Stewart-Haas Racing or Team Penske. Hamlin, Jones,  Logano, Blaney, Bowyer and Harvick fit that mold.

I like the Hendrick Motorsports duo of Jimmie Johnson and Alex Bowman too. Both are +4000 and have been good in the past at Bristol. Bowman, was fifth and eighth respectively in the two races a year ago while Johnson has eight top 10 finishes in his last 10 Bristol starts including a win in 2016. His last five Bristol night races finishes are fourth, fourth, seventh, 11th and ninth respectively.

You may also want to throw some cash to the Roush/Fenway Racing side too. Ryan Newman (+10000) finished sixth in April and has four straight top 12 finishes overall. Newman, also has four top 12 finishes in his last six overall races on the season. His teammate Ricky Stenhouse Jr. He may have three of his last four Bristol starts result in finishes of 14th or worse, including a 33rd place run in April, but prior to that, he was a stud on the concrete oval. The Mississippi native had six top 10 finishes in a nine race (four year) span including two runner-ups. While he’s never led a lap in his No. 17 Ford at Bristol before, all he’s wanting to do is lead the final one on Saturday evening.
