Betting Picks and Predictions for the Quaker State 400 NASCAR Cup Series Race on July 10 2022
Where: Atlanta Motor Speedway, Hampton, Georgia
When: July 10, 2022, 3:00 PM ET
Favorites
Kyle Larson (Quota +200)
There are many reasons why Kyle Larson starts as the favorite to win the race. Of all active drivers, he has the best average position in Atlanta with 12.1 while leading a total of 418 laps.
He has also led in more laps in four of the last five races at tracks of this length, but the fact that despite that dominance he has never won a race at Atlanta makes betting on him a low-return, high-risk gamble.
Chase Elliot (Quota +800)
Chase Elliot, the current NASCAR Cup Series points leader, should not be discounted as a favorite and will be looking to win for the first time in his home in Georgia.
Elliot has placed first in two races this season: the DuraMax Drydene 400 and the Ally 400, which was recently contested on June 26, so he brings positive momentum heading into this race.
Kyle Busch (Quota +800)
Kyle Busch is another excellent choice for this Quaker State 400, as the driver has won twice in Atlanta in the Xfinity Series and six times in the Trucks Series, so he could feel right at home racing at the track.
Busch already won the Food City Dirt Race in 2022, although this race will be much longer and will surely put him to the test.
The Ones That Could Surprise
Alex Bowman (Quota +2500)
Alex Bowman already had an outstanding performance in the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 in Atlanta earlier this season by finishing third, so he could be considered as one of the runners who could surprise.
Added to this, Bowman’s team, Hendrick Motorsports, has won ten out of twenty races this season, and him winning three of them.
William Byron (Quota +2000)
William Byron is Bowman’s teammate, and he is credited with one of the ten race wins this season.
The best part of the case? That win was right here in Georgia at the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 in Atlanta, so Byron could pull off a surprise by winning again in this state in this race.
The Dark Horse
Kurt Busch (Quota +3000)
If you want to bet small but have the potential for big returns, keeping an eye on Kurt Busch might be the best option.
Busch has finished in the top spot in three of the last five races this season, and this Quaker State 400 could see him have a shot at the top spot.
