Nick Giffen uses his statistical model to disability that the four best futures values in the race.
For the second successive weekend, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series will be racing in Charlotte Motor Speedwday (6:00 p.m. ET, FOX). However, this time instead of an All-Star shootout, drivers ‘ are in for a grueling 600 miles in the Cup Series’ longest race of this year.

Charlotte is a 1.5-mile oblong with a relatively old surface which was repaved back in 2006. We saw in the All-Star race that tires did make a difference and track position was also extremely significant, therefore this race should offer a good blend of numerous 1.5-mile tracks.

The most recent 1.5-mile points-paying race was also a night race in Kansas Speedwday. In that race, the top five at average green-flag speed all showed up at the top nine in 15-lap rate in Happy Hour, regardless of the race being during the nighttime and final practice during the day.

We’ve got a similar situation at Charlotte this weekend, so I will certainly rely on long-run speed in addition to 1.5-mile performance this year and beyond Charlotte oval performance when handicapping the race.

Equipped with all these data points, let us get right to my four favorite bets to win tonight’s race, plus bonus top-five and top-10 props.

A fast primer about the odds below: A $100 wager at +375 odds would profit $375, while a $200 wager at -200 odds would pay out $100.

Kevin Harvick +600 to Acquire
Kyle Busch is your favorite thanks to his exceptional speed in Happy Hour and three wins to Harvick’s zero wins this year. However, it could be argued that Harvick ought to be a co-favorite despite completing only 13th on the 10-lap board in final practice.

That is because in opening practice, he had been considerably better relative to the remainder of the field over 10 consecutive laps. His fifth-place time throughout the warmer temperatures is reassuring. Actually, Harvick’s Crew Chief Rodney Childers said the cars are really sensitive to monitor changes, which they were really great in opening practice throughout the warmer temperatures.
