Kevin Harvick ended-up second in the field of 20 and Kurt Busch took third.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63742&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>The following is a look at my top favorite, contender and longshot to win this Sunday night\u2019s Coca-Cola 600 based on betting odds provided by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/affiliates.commissionaccount.com\/processing\/clickthrgh.asp?btag=a_3953b_1792\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sportsbook.ag<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>The Favorite (odd of less than 10\/1)<\/h3>\n<p>A red-hot Kevin Harvick may be the +300 favorite to win this Sunday\u2019s race at Charlotte, but I am going with a driver that may be even hotter right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jimmie Johnson<\/strong> went into last week\u2019s All-Star Race fresh off this third point-race victory of the season with a win at Kansas.<\/p>\n<p>It was the fifth race in a row where the No. 48 car placed third or better, which adds some solid value to this team\u2019s +600 betting odds to win this race.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63791&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Also adding some serious value to the equation is the fact that Johnson comes into this race as the defending champion. Last season\u2019s victory in the Coca-Cola 600 was his seventh career Sprint Cup point-race win at this track.<\/p>\n<h3>The Contender (odds from 10\/1 to 19\/1)<\/h3>\n<p>Any time I can get longer odds on <strong>Matt Kenseth<\/strong> it is almost a given that I am going to use him as my contender pick. That is clearly the case this week at +1500 betting odds to win this race.<\/p>\n<p>The No. 20 car won a total of seven Sprint Cup point races in 2013 and after enduring a longer than expected winless drought, this team finally got back to Victory Lane at Bristol this season.<\/p>\n<p>It is currently in seventh place in the Sprint Cup standings with 331 points on the strength of two additional finishes in the top five.<\/p>\n<p>Kenseth last won at Charlotte in 2011 and he followed-up a third-place finish in the second race at this track in 2013 with another third-place finish in last season\u2019s Coca-Cola 600.<\/p>\n<h3>The Longshot (odds 20\/1 or greater)<\/h3>\n<p>The Sprint All-Star Race may just be a shortened exhibition non-point event, but I am betting on <strong>Denny Hamlin\u2019s<\/strong> +2000 odds that he can parlay that win into a two-race sweep at Charlotte this Sunday night.<\/p>\n<p>The No. 11 car put itself in prime position for a spot in this year\u2019s Chase with an earlier victory at Martinsville and it has also posted a pair of other finishes inside the top five.<\/p>\n<p>Hamlin may have faded to 22<sup>nd<\/sup> in last season\u2019s Coca-Cola 600, but this was just the first time in his last nine runs around this track in a Sprint Cup point race where he failed to crack the top 10.<\/p>\n<p><script src=\"http:\/\/www.bovada.lv\/livelines\/livelines.jsp?EventType=NAS&amp;ID=151627\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/go\/bovada\">*SPRINT Cup Odds provided by Bovada (Click Here now &#8211; Open A free Nascar betting account today!)<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=65348&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NASCAR 2015 Sprint Cup Futures NASCAR\u2019s Sprint Cup series continues its extended stay at the Charlotte Motor Speedway after last weekend\u2019s Sprint All-Star Race with the running of the Coca-Cola 600 this Memorial Day Weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":97115,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[61013,29337,13950,13946,13947,13948,62185,65840,45002,3239,729,65402,1731],"class_list":["post-97081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nascar","tag-61013","tag-charlotte-motor-speedway","tag-coca-cola-600","tag-coca-cola-600-odds","tag-coca-cola-600-picks","tag-coca-cola-600-predictions","tag-coca-cola-600-drivers-preview","tag-coca-cola-600-preview","tag-head-to-head-odds","tag-nascar-betting-odds","tag-nascar-picks","tag-nascar-preview","tag-sprint-cup-series"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/64"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97081"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97081\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":97119,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97081\/revisions\/97119"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
