<\/a><\/p>If you\u2019re a defending champion at a particular race, you pretty much earn the right to be considered as a favorite in next year\u2019s run at the same event. The winner from Atlanta last season happens to be Jimmie Johnson (+700<\/a>), who truly excels on courses such as the one at Atlanta Motor Speedway.<\/p>\nNot only did Johnson emerge on top in last season\u2019s installment of the QuikTrip 500, he also bagged his 24th<\/sup>-career win at a 1.5-mile race track \u2013 the most by a single driver in NASCAR history. His tally of 340 fastest laps recorded at AMS is second-most all-time as well.<\/p>\nJimmie had to be disappointed with his underwhelming 16th<\/sup>-place finish at Daytona, a race that he was heavily favored to win. So what better way for him to bounce back from last week than with a win on a track that saw him end on top just a year ago?<\/p>\nKevin Harvick<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n
Johnson may have won last season\u2019s QuikTrip 500, but Kevin Harvick finished right behind him then and arguably has an even better case as for why he will prevail with his first win of 2016 on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Over the past two races held at AMS, Harvick has the best driver amongst the rest of the field. In addition, the former Sprint Cup Series champ has nothing but great sentiments for the track as this was where he won his first race in the pros.<\/p>\n
With such credentials under his belt, Harvick is definitely deserving of his +500<\/a> price as the odds-on frontrunner to win the race this weekend.<\/p>\nSleepers<\/strong><\/p>\nCarl Edwards<\/h3>\n
One interesting factor about the race this Sunday is that it will be the first event this year to make use of the new low-downforce aero packages. Races involving these packages require drivers with better handling and maneuvering, and Carl Edwards is one of those guys.<\/p>\n
Edwards is a member of Joe Gibbs Racing, which was very successful last season in the two low-downforce-aero-package races (Kentucky and Darlington). He finished fourth at Kentucky last July then took home the\u00a0trophy at Darlington two months later.<\/p>\n
Considering that Edwards\u2019 last win was at such a skill-heavy race like the one at\u00a0Atlanta Motor Speedway this Sunday, taking him at +1,000<\/a> is an attractive proposition indeed.<\/p>\nKasey Kahne<\/h3>\n
![\"Folds](\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Kasey-Kahne-Atlanta.jpg\" "\\"Folds-of-Honor-QuikTrip-500-Predictions-Picks-and-Betting-Preview\\"")
<\/p>\n
Since when was the last time that we heard anything good about Kasey Kahne? Ok, so his 13th<\/sup>-place finish at Daytona this past week wasn\u2019t monumental, but at least he was Hendrik Motorsports\u2019 best finisher of that race.<\/p>\nAnd yes, Kahne never won a race last season and his latest victory dates all the way back to August of 2014. But do you remember which track was that race was held at? You guessed it: Atlanta Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n
Hendrik Motorsports has a much-touted rookie in their stable now, so the 35-year-old\u2019s probably feeling some heat from another kid breathing down his neck in his team\u2019s pecking order. As such, banking on a spirited Kahne this Sunday at +2,500<\/a> could prove to be a wise decision in the end.<\/p>\nLong Shot<\/strong><\/h3>\nChase Elliott<\/h3>\n
![\"Folds](\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Chase-Elliott.jpg\" "\\"Folds-of-Honor-QuikTrip-500-Predictions-Picks-and-Betting-Preview\\"")
<\/p>\n
Speaking of Hendrik Motorsports\u2019 rookie, that guy happens to be Chase Elliott, who just became the youngest ever to win pole at Daytona 500 and faltered pretty badly in the actual race.<\/p>\n
What Elliott has going for him is that he\u2019s literally feeling right at home for this Sunday\u2019s race. The upstart is a native of Dawsonville, just mere minutes away from AMS. Furthermore, he\u2019s a two-time Georgia Racing Hall-of-Fame Driver of the Year awardee (2013 and 2014), with many of his best performances then coming right on this weekend\u2019s track.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Elliott\u2019s first impression this past Sunday at Daytona is, again, not very promising to begin with. With that in mind, only those ultimate newbie nuts and bettors truly strong of will are the only likely backers of the young speedster at +4,000<\/a>. Are you one of those daring risk-takers as well?<\/p>\nWriter\u2019s Prediction<\/strong><\/h3>\nKevin Harvick (+500<\/a>) wins his first race of the season.<\/p>\n
