The fifth Sprint Cup point race of the season takes NASCAR all the way back out to the West Coast this Sunday for the Auto Club 400 in Fontana, California. Brad Keselowski and the No.2 Miller Lite car took the checkered flag last Sunday at Bristol for his first win of the year.
The Sprint Cup boys move to Bristol this Saturday night for the 24th race of the season. Bristol Motor Speedway is a .533 mile Short 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!! Now 26-18 59% the past 16 weeks with our Head to Head Nascar matchups. We did cash our #1 Driver to win last week with Carl Edwards!
For starters, I think Jeff Gordon has the best shot of winning this race. Gordon has 5 wins, 12 Top 5 finishes and 18 Top 10 finishes in his 31 starts here in Bristol. Gordon has an average finish of 11.7 here in Bristol which is the 4th best average finish among all drivers. Past 2 years, Jeff Gordon’s average finish at track type – SHORT TRACK is 6.3. In 9 races, he has 0 wins and 7 top 10 finishes.
Next in line I would go with Kurt Busch. Kurt Busch has five wins, 5 Top 5 finishes and 9 Top 10 finishes in 15 starts here in Bristol. Busch has an average finish of 14.3 here in Bristol.
