Rocky Atkinson's Top 5 Nascar Drivers to win Bristol Saturday night!

The Sprint Cup boys move to Bristol this Saturday night for the 24th race of the season.  Bristol Motor Speedway is a .533 mile Oval Track located in Bristol, Tennessee.  Here are my Top 5 drivers to win in Bristol this weekend.  We still have to wait for Qualifying and Happy Hour before finalizing our Head to Head matchups.  Bristol is normally a very good money track for us!! 
 
For starters, I think Jeff Gordon has the best shot of winning this race.  Gordon has 5 wins, 14 Top 5 finishes and 20 Top 10 finishes in his 33 starts here in Bristol.  Gordon has an average finish of 11.3 here in Bristol.  Past two years, Jeff Gordon's average finish at track type - HIGH BANKED CONCRETE is 9.7. In 6 races, he has 0 wins and 4 top 10 finishes.   Jeff Gordon's average finish over the past 10 races is 10.3. In 10 races, he has 0 wins and 8 top 10 finishes.
 
Next in line I would go with Kevin Harvick.  Harvick has one win, 9 Top 5 finishes and 11 Top 10 finishes in 17 starts here in Bristol.  Harvick has an average finish of 10.8 here in Bristol, which is 2nd best among all active drivers.  

Then, back in my 3rd spot, I have to go with Kyle Busch.  Kyle Busch has two wins, 4 Top 5 finishes and 6 Top 10 finishes in his 9 starts in Bristol.  Kyle Busch has an average finish of 11.2 here in Bristol, which is 3rd best among all active drivers.  Past 2 years, Kyle Busch's average finish at track type - HIGH BANKED CONCRETE is 14.5. In 6 races, he has 2 wins and 3 top 10 finishes.  
 
Looking at my pick for the 4th spot we turn to Kurt Busch.  Kurt Busch has five wins, 5 Top 5 finishes and 9 Top 10 finishes in his 17 starts in Bristol.  Kurt Busch has an average finish of 14.2 in Bristol. 


Rounding out my Top 5 and sitting in the 5th position is Matt Kenseth.  Kenseth has two wins, seven Top 5 finishes and 11 Top 10 finishes in his 19 starts in Bristol.   Kenseth has an average finish of 13.3 in Bristol.  Past 2 years, Matt Kenseth's average finish at track type - HIGH BANKED CONCRETE is 10.3. In 6 races, he has 0 wins and 5 top 10 finishes.   

The odds for these drivers to win in Bristol currently at Bodog are:
 
#24  Jeff Gordon  8 to 1
#29  Kevin Harvick  20 to 1
#18  Kyle Busch  6 to 1
#2    Kurt Busch  10 to 1
#17  Matt Kenseth  22 to 1
