No, I’m not talking about your thermostat during this uncharacteristically cold Spring here in America.
The Darlington race this past Sunday seems like a distant memory to me.
We were able to secure our third winner picked in the first 5 races when we took Kevin Harvick to secure the 50th win of his illustrious career.
Denny Hamlin was our other pick.
Normally, we take 3 drivers but it was nice to only pick 2 and snag a winner.
Wednesday night’s race also in Darlington really irked me.
I came off of Kevin Harvick in the second race because he is 44-years-old and just had an emotional moment getting that big #50.
That proved to be a smart move but coming off of Denny Hamlin was a mistake.
There was no good reason not to pick him again other than the fact that I did for the first race and some section of my brain thought it was a good idea to look elsewhere for a winner.
The end of the race was climactic/anti-climactic.
What does that even mean?
Well, see for yourself.
Denny Hamlin was only in first place on that restart because he didn’t pit with everyone else to get new tires.
Why not?
Well, he had already used up all of his new tires so he would just be pitting to replace worn tires with other worn tires.
Every attentive fan knows that the Hendrick Motorsport Chevys are the fastest cars right now and with new tires and more than 20 laps remaining, Chase Elliott was 100% going to overtake Hamlin.
What are teammates for, though?
Kyle Busch, one of the best race car drivers of our generation “misjudged” Chase’s bumper by a good 18 inches…
Sure, he did.
The commentators were doing everything they could to not call it like it was but it was apparent that Kyle wrecked Elliott on purpose to save his teammate and also put himself in a position to win the race.
It was only a few minutes, though, after the middle finger flew when the race ended with the cars sitting single file on pit road.
Rained out.
Denny got the win.
We took him to out-race Kyle Busch which hit but overall, we had a rough day betting the race.
Our winner picks of Martin Truex Jr and Alex Bowman weren’t really close.
I thought Erik Jones would have had a good chance to win if they would have had another restart. He was (+1800). That would have been really nice but it’s okay.
BetOnline.AG has the betting odds for us this week.
Let’s take a look at those and make our predictions for a winner and/or top 3 finisher at the Coca Cola 600 from Charlotte, North Carolina.
Alex Bowman: +1600
Watch out, now!
Alex Bowman is a very good race car driver!
He already has a win this year at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana and was just inches away from clearing Kevin Harvick to take the checkered flag this past Sunday at Darlington.
His team, Hendrick Motorsports, easily has the fastest cars on the track right now, although the boys over at Joe Gibbs Racing are starting to come on after a slow start to 2020.
I didn’t pick Alex Bowman to win this past Sunday at Darlington when he came so close.
This wasn’t because of his abilities, the strength of his car or team, and definitely not because of his success in 2020.
He had zero positive race history.
In 5 starts, he had zero top ten finishes.
He looked pretty darn good and nearly won the thing on Sunday.
I say this because his track history at Charlotte is not very good either.
- 7 starts
- 2 top tens
- 0 top fives
That’s better than 0-5.
Bowman does have a win at Charlotte in 2017 when he was driving for the Xfinity Series.
Fast car, great driver, young, hungry, detail-oriented…
A win here at Charlotte would really be special.
His odds are too tall for us to turn away.
Denny Hamlin: +1100
You’re probably wondering why I didn’t go with Martin Truex Jr here.
Coca Cola 600 Qualifying
I’m wondering the same thing myself.
I went back and forth between these two teammates several times and I had to side with the Virginia-native simply because of the number by his name.
11 to 1 is a lot better than the 6 to 1 we would be getting on Marty from New Jersey.
If you look at the last 10 races at Charlotte Motor Speedway, you see Truex has 7 top tens and 3 victories. That is by far better than any other driver.
Hamlin is second, though, behind his teammate in finishing position and top five’s over the last 10 races.
Martin Truex Jr has one top ten finish in 6 races this year and that was Sunday at Darlington.
Last year, Martin finished inside the top ten at Vegas, Phoenix, and Fontana in the first month of the season.
I could see him winning this week and it being his coming out party and all but he has yet to develop a winning chemistry with his new crew chief.
Coca Cola 600 Race Winner
When Michael Jordan sponsors you, you better win!
I kinda like Chase Elliott and Joey Logano this week if you wanted to make some smaller wagers and spread your money around.
I’m sticking with Alex and Denny to get it done Sunday.
In Conclusion
I would say let’s go racin’ but we’ve been racing!
It’s turning into a race between the races for myself and I can’t imagine the hours NASCAR teams are working right now to get ready for their third race in a week.
At least Darlington and Charlotte are only a couple of hours apart.
Remember, we will get another shot at picking a winner at Charlotte.
NASCAR’s Cup Series is running two races here just like they did at Darlington.
Qualifying for this race isn’t until Sunday afternoon just hours before they race in the evening.
That’s why I don’t want to go too heavy on our bets today.
We picked winners and top 3 finishes and none of them hit on Wednesday night. We are still in the green as far as our 2020 NASCAR bankroll is concerned.
A win for either of these drivers would be sweet, especially when they have such high-paying odds.
Get your bets in now or wait until qualifying on Sunday to see who’s speedy.
Enjoy the longest race of the season in Charlotte!
The Coca-Cola 600 is an annual race held at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. It is a race that is part of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. This 600-mile long race is the longest in the NASCAR schedule and was first held in 1960 as the first ever race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
This year’s race is the 60th edition of the Coca-Cola 600 and it will be held on May 26, 2019, at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. It is the 13th race in the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup series. After 12 rounds of racing, Joey Logano and Kyle Busch are on top of the leaderboard.
This is the updated driver standings in the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series:
| Rank | Name | Points | Wins | Top 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Joey Logano | 478 | 1 | 6 |
| 2 | Kyle Busch | 469 | 3 | 6 |

Defending race winner Kyle Busch is the betting favorite to win the race again this year. Busch has won already three races this season and will be looking to add a fourth in Charlotte.

Who Are The Favorites?
Kyle Busch is the betting favorite to win the Coca-Cola 600 and is second in the Drivers standings with 469 points and tied for first with three races won this season. The 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion will be looking to bounce back after what happened last week in Kansas and he will have the perfect race track to give him that redemption.
Busch has a lot of history going for him at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Not only is he the defending race champion of the Coca-Cola 600, but he was also the runner-up of this race in 2017. Busch has also not finished lower than sixth place in 8 out of his last 15 starts in Charlotte. He also owns six wins in this track while racing for the NASCAR Xfinity Series and another eight wins here in the NASCAR Gander Outdoor Truck Series. With that kind of track record, it’s not wrong to expect a win from Kyle Busch this week.
Martin Truex Jr. has won two out of the last four races of the season. And when it comes to the Coca-Cola 600, he won the race in 2016 and is averaging a 2.75 finish in his last four trips to the Coca-Cola 600. Truex has not finished lower than 5th in six out of his last eight races at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. Truex currently ranks 7th in the Drivers standings with 396 points.
Kevin Harvick is a two-time winner of the Coca-Cola 600, having won the race in 2011 and 2013. Harvick has finished 3rd place or better in half of his last 10 races at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. He’s gone this long without a victory in a season once in the last six years so you have to think he is due for a win already. Harvick has followed up a non-Top 10 finish with a Top 5 finish in the last three occasions. He could be ripe for something big this week.
Coca Cola 600 Past Winners
Brad Keselowski has three wins this season, tied with Kyle Busch for the top spot. He’s finished in the Top 10 of the Coca-Cola 600 in five out of his last seven starts, including three Top 5 finishes. Keselowski is coming off a win in the last race of the season in Kansas so he has good form and momentum heading to Charlotte. Keselowski is 5th in the Drivers standings with 421 points.
Joey Logano is the current leader in the Drivers standings with a total of 478 points with 6 Top 5 finishes this season. He’s not had much success though at the Coca-Cola 600 with only three Top 10 finishes in his 11 tries there.
Who Wins?
There are a couple of points I’d like to make here. First is that when you talk about familiarity and mastery of the course, I think Kyle Busch would be the best choice to back here because of his history at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. When it comes to form, I think Martin Truex with two wins in the last four races is in great form and he’s also had a good history here at Charlotte. With Truex doubling the plus money on Kyle Busch, I’d take my chance with Martin Truex Jr.
I also like Denny Hamlin as a dark horse pick because Hamlin has not finished lower than fifth in five out of his last seven races at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. He is also averaging a 5th place finish in his last four trips to the Coca-Cola 600. Hamlin’s struggled in the last few races but maybe the week off resets him and he gets his third win of the season in Charlotte.
Prediction: Martin Truex Jr. is my pick and would suggest going with Denny Hamlin as a dark horse pick to win the race.
