Sunday’s Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 is one of the few major sports events set to take place this weekend without any limitations on attendance due to concerns arising from the coronavirus pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control is located in Atlanta, the same city where Sunday’s race is set to take place, but there are no limits in place yet. Brad Keselowski is the defending champion, and Joey Logano is looking for his third victory in a season that is still in its early weeks. Who will prevail at Atlanta Motor Speedway? The race is set for 2:15 pm Eastern time on Sunday, March 15, with the broadcast on FOX. We have the NASCAR odds as well as sports betting suggestions for your wager cards.

Joey Logano has 13 races in his career at Atlanta Motor Speedway but is still in search of his first victory. In those 13 starts, he has cracked the top ten four times and the top five twice. In two of his last three starts in Atlanta, he has sixth place finishes. His best finish overall came at the 2013 AdvoCare 500, when he was the runner-up. So he has the form on this track, and he has been dominating the circuit lately.
Kyle Busch won the 2013 AdvoCare 500 as one of two career victories at Atlanta Motor Speedway. He has 21 career starts in Atlanta, and he has eight finishes in the top ten. In his last two starts at this race, he came in seventh in 2018 and sixth a year ago. His career average finish at this track is 14.43.
Kevin Harvick is still winless in 2020, but his average finish of sixth place leads all drivers. He has finished in the top ten in each race, and he has cracked the top five twice. He has two career victories at Atlanta Motor Speedway, as well as 14 finishes in the top ten and eight in the top five.
Brad Keselowski has 11 career starts at Atlanta Motor Speedway, with an average finish of 15. He has two career wins (including that win here a year ago) along with four finishes in the top five and seven in the top ten. He is still looking for his first win in 2020, but he has cracked the top ten twice and the top five one time. Given his recent form here, he is a driver worth the wager.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr has never finished higher than tenth at the Atlanta Motor Speedway in seven overall races. However, he raised eyebrows when he came in third at Vegas last month, and if he comes out of nowhere again, he could take the whole thing. He does offer plenty of value.
Daniel Suarez is another sleeper to consider. He has only raced three times at Atlanta Motor Speedway, but he has improved with each start, going from 21st to 15th to tenth, in the 2017, 2018 and 2019 editions of this race.
Looking for a long shot? Take a look at Aric Almirola. He has nine career starts at Atlanta Motor Speedway, without a win. However, at this race in 2019, he came in eighth. Given the value that he offers, and given his overall form over the last year, he is worth considering.
