It made some huge calls in NASCAR last year, including nailing wins for Kyle Busch at Chicago and Martin Truex Jr. at Sonoma. And it’s off to a solid start in NASCAR this season, calling Daytona 500 winner Denny Hamlin a top competition from the beginning. Anybody who has followed its picks is way, way up.

McClure, with a mechanical engineering degree, grew up around race tracks. Big events in iconic places like Atlanta Motor Speedway are in his blood. His version mimicked the 2019 Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 a total of 10,000 times and the results were surprising.

For your 2019 QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta, we could inform you that the model is top on Chase Elliott, who makes a strong run at the checkered flag despite heading off at 10-1 odds. Elliott doesn’t have a long history at Atlanta, but he has had success there in all three of his starts at the track since joining the Dragon Energy NASCAR Cup Series. He has finished inside the top 10 in every one of those races and even got a top-five finish in 2017.

Before joining NASCAR’s top circuit, Elliott had two top-five endings at Atlanta at the NASCAR Xfinity Series. Elliott is a Georgia native and his dad, Bill Elliott, won at NASCAR’s highest level in Atlanta Motor Speedway five occasions in his career, so it’s something of a house track for the 23-year-old. The model expects him to ride that advantage to the top of the leaderboard on Sunday.

Another shocker from the version: Kyle Busch, among the best Vegas favorites at 6-1, does not crack the top five.

The 2019 Daytona 500 runner-up started on the rod in this race a year ago, but ended up finishing in seventh place. The year before, he had yet another fast ride in qualifying and started the race in third, but ended up in 16th.

Since his win at Atlanta in 2013, Busch has just conducted 56.7 percent of his laps within the top 15. For his career, he has finished outside the top 10 in 13 of his 20 career starts at Atlanta Motor Speedway. There are far better worth within this affluent 2019 QuikTrip 500 lineup than the 6-1 premium you’ll want to pay for him.

The model can be targeting three other drivers with 2019 NASCAR in Atlanta chances of 10-1 or longer to make a serious run at winning everything. Anyone who backs these lengthy shots can hit it big.
