best chances to win
• Kyle Larson +500
• Denny Hamlin +700
• William Byron +800
• Tyler Reddick +800
• Christopher Bell +900
• Martin Truex Jr. +900
Yahoo Sports' Nick Bromberg points out that since Denny Hamlin went back-to-back at the track in October 2019 and July 2020, the speedway has seen six different winners. So if you're looking this time versus the favorites who haven't won there, Byron, Reddick and Bell fit the bill. If you're looking for a past winner at a good mid-tier price, Bromberg recommends 2022 Fall Race winners Bubba Wallace (+1800) and Joey Logano (+1800).
