What Is At Stake?
With four unique winners throughout the first six races, securing victory at Bristol signifies an almost guaranteed place in the postseason. Stage points can also be important, and the legendary bullring could provide some unforeseen outcomes.
Brad Keselowski scored his second win of the season after having a dominant showing at Martinsville. The 2012 winner scored back-to-back victories in 2011 and 2012, but hasn’t won at Bristol since then. Can he carry on the momentum?
Kevin Harvick is now third in the standings but has yet to win a race this season. The 2015 winner has two wins in 30 races in the track, but his form has improved with seven consecutive top 10 finishes. Bristol may not be the most likely place for Harvick’s first win of the year, however, the bullring always has a surprise or two in store.
Do not count out Kurt Busch. The elder Busch brother is second among active drivers with five wins at the bullring. The 2004 winner is also the most recent winner at the track, having secured an unexpected victory last summer.
Favorites To Win The 2019 O’Reilly Auto Parts 500
With seven wins at Bristol, together with five of those coming at the spring race, championship leader Kyle Busch is the clear favorite. Following a solid start to the season, the driver of the #18 Joe Gibbs Racing car has yet to finish outside the top 10 through six races. Busch has two race wins and a series-leading four stage victories to his title.
Joey Logano heads a three dimensional tie for the third most wins at the trail among active drivers. The reigning Monster Power Cup Series winner has two wins at the track, his latest success being back-to-back wins at the summer race back in 2014 and 2015. Logano has seven top 10 finishes in the last 10 races in Bristol, and although the #22 may not be the most dominant driver in the track, he still figures one of the favorites.
