The 2019 NASCAR Program kicks into high gear Sunday with the 2019 Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
The green flag falls at 2 p.m. ET for your 325-lap race and defending champion Kevin Harvick is the 4-1 favorite from the latest 2019 Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 odds. Falling in just supporting him with 6-1 NASCAR at Atlanta odds are Joey Logano and Kyle Busch, who both finished in the top four final week at the Daytona 500. Prior to making your own 2019 QuikTrip 500 picks and NASCAR in Atlanta predictions, be sure to have a look at the projected leaderboard in the proven computer version at SportsLine.
Produced by DFS expert and SportsLine predictive information scientist Mike McClure, this proprietary NASCAR prediction computer model simulates every race 10,000 occasions, taking factors like track record and current results into account.

It made some enormous calls in NASCAR last year, such as nailing wins for Kyle Busch in Chicago and Martin Truex Jr. in Sonoma. And it is off to a solid start in NASCAR this season, calling Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin a top competition from the beginning. Anyone who has followed its picks is way, way up.
McClure, with a mechanical engineering degree, grew up around race tracks. Big events at iconic venues like Atlanta Motor Speedway are in his bloodstream. Now his model mimicked the 2019 Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 a total of 10,000 times and the results were so surprising.
For the 2019 QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta, we could inform you that the version is top on Chase Elliott, making a strong run at the checkered flag despite going off at 10-1 odds. Elliott does not have a lengthy history at Atlanta, but he’s had success there in all three of his starts in the track since joining the Dragon Energy NASCAR Cup Series. He has finished inside the top 10 in each of those races and even earned a top-five end in 2017.
Before joining NASCAR’s top circuit, Elliott had two top-five endings at Atlanta at the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Elliott is a Georgia native and his father, Bill Elliott, won at NASCAR’s highest level in Atlanta Motor Speedway five times in his career, so it is something of a home monitor for its 23-year-old. The model expects him to ride that edge to the top of the leaderboard on Sunday.
Another shocker from the version: Kyle Busch, one of the best Vegas favorites at 6-1, does not even crack the top five.
The 2019 Daytona 500 runner-up started on the rod in this race a season ago, but wound up finishing in seventh position. The year before, he had another quick ride and started the race in third, but wound up in 16th.
Since his win at Atlanta at 2013, Busch has just conducted 56.7 percent of his laps inside the top 15. For his career, he has finished outside the top 10 in 13 of his 20 career starts at Atlanta Motor Speedway. There are far better values in this loaded 2019 QuikTrip 500 lineup compared to the 6-1 premium you will need to cover him.
The version can be targeting three other drivers with 2019 NASCAR in Atlanta odds of 10-1 or longer to make a serious run at winning it all. Anyone who backs these shots can hit it big.
