Alex Bowman An Intriguing Pick At Bristol

Alex Bowman benefits from last week's third-place finish at Atlanta. He starts from the seventh spot at the Food City Dirt Race. For that reason, Bowman is on the radar at 20 to 1 odds.

Ryan Blaney Expected To Have Upside Sunday

Ryan Blaney won in Atlanta last week and will carry that momentum into Bristol on Sunday. The Team Penske driver will begin from the third position at the Food City Dirt Race.

Kyle Larson Awarded Pole, Faces Uphill Battle Sunday

Kyle Larson won the pole on Sunday at Bristol for the Food City Dirt Race.
