Happy Weekend, race bettors! The Cup Series heads to the home of country music to tackle the 1.33-mile Nashville Superspeedway. It's going to be boiling lava hot on Sunday, and we expect there to be some real excitement on the flat, concrete oval. There are still lingering concerns over the durability of the tires that will be used, and restarts are bonkers.

Last year at Nashville, we saw Kyle Larson absolutely dominate. He led 264 out of 300 laps and turned 133 fastest laps. His driver rating was 149.7, 30 points higher than the next highest-ranked driver. There were two sets of green-flag pit stops, an incredibly rare occurrence. Fortunately for us, the bookmakers are putting way too much stock into last year's result, and have made Larson the super-short favorite (+500). Is there value in fading him on Sunday? Let's find out.
