After wrapping-up a two-race West Coast swing, NASCAR\u2019s Sprint Cup series returns back east for the running of the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. The green flag for Sunday\u2019s race is set to wave at 1 p.m. and it will be broadcast nationally on FOX. <\/p>\n
NASCAR Sprint Cup Food City 500 Preview and Prediction<\/b> Matt Kenseth wasted little time taking his first checkered flag this season with a victory in last Sunday\u2019s race at Las Vegas. Kasey Kahne turned in a good showing by taking second and defending Sprint Cup champ Brad Keselowski finished third.<\/p>\n The following is a closer look at our favorite, contender, and longshot picks for this Sunday\u2019s race with odds provided by Bovada<\/a>.<\/p>\n Bovada actually opened Kyle Busch as the favorite to win this race but next on the list at 13\/2 is Brad Keselowski<\/b>.<\/p>\n Already putting up a strong defense of his 2012 title, he has raced his way to three top-five finishes in the first three point races while leading a total of 33 laps.<\/p>\n This has the No.2 car sitting in second place in the Sprint Cup standings with 124 points. What makes Keselowski even more attractive at these odds is the fact that he comes into Bristol as the defending champion in this race.<\/p>\n This win followed a first-place finish in the second race at this track in 2011. [ad-8757089]<\/p>\n Carl Edwards<\/b> lost the 2011 Sprint Cup title on a tie-breaker, but faded into the sunset last season by not even making the Chase. It appears that he has successfully returned to form in 2013 with a win at Phoenix and a fifth-place finish in last week\u2019s race.<\/p>\n This week he has been opened at 14\/1 to win at Bristol and coupled with his previous performance at this track, offers some solid value with these odds.<\/p>\n The No.99 car turned in two forgettable performances at this track last season but looking back at 2011, Edwards finished second in this race and ended-up ninth in his second trip to Bristol that year.<\/p>\n Ryan Newman<\/b> is mired in 30th<\/sup>-place in the current standings with just 50 points, but he showed signs of life at Daytona with a fifth-place finish. This week he has been opened at a 40\/1 to win and definitely worth a second look if you are looking for some long odds for this race.<\/p>\n Last year, the No. 39 car finished 12th<\/sup> in this race, but in Newman\u2019s previous six races at this track, he has been able to work his way into the top 10 on five separate occasions.<\/p>\n Sunday, March 17, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n Jimmie Johnson 5\/1 *SPRINT Cup Odds provided by Bovada<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n 2013 Food City 500 Predictions After wrapping-up a two-race West Coast swing, NASCAR\u2019s Sprint Cup series returns back east for the running of the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
