What Is At Stake?
With four winners through the first six races, securing success at Bristol signifies an almost place in the postseason. Stage points are also important, along with the mythical bullring could provide some unexpected results.

Brad Keselowski scored his second win of the year after having a showing at Martinsville. The 2012 champion scored back-to-back successes in 2012 and 2011, but hasn’t won at Bristol since then. Can he take on the momentum to alter this?

Kevin Harvick is currently third in the standings but has yet to win a race this season. The 2015 winner has two wins in 30 races in the track, but his form has improved with seven consecutive top 10 finishes. Bristol might not be the most likely spot for Harvick’s first win of this year, however, the bullring always has a surprise or two in store.

Don’t rely out Kurt Busch. The elder Busch brother is second among active drivers with five wins in the bullring. The 2004 champion is also the most recent winner at the track, having ensured an unexpected victory past summer.

With seven wins at Bristol, with all those coming at the spring race, championship leader Kyle Busch is the clear favorite. Following a solid start to the season, the driver of the #18 Joe Gibbs Racing car has yet to finish outside the top 10 throughout six races. Busch includes two race wins and a series-leading four point victories to his name.

Joey Logano heads a three-way tie for the next most wins in the track among active drivers. The reigning Monster Power Cup Series winner has two wins in the track, his latest victory being back-to-back wins at the summertime back in 2014 and 2015. Logano has seven top 10 finishes in the last ten races in Bristol, and even though the #22 may not be the most dominant driver at the monitor, he still figures one of the favorites.
