Elliott, Truex Jr., Bowman Betting Favorites For Alsco Uniforms 500
Following the longest race in NASCAR history, 607.5 miles, on Sunday in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway, the drivers strap in for another 310 miles on the same track Thursday for the Alsco Uniforms 500.
A late caution Sunday changed everything as Chase Elliott appeared to have the win locked up but he pitted under the yellow, opening the door for Brad Keselowski to grab his first win of 2020. Elliott, Martin Truex Jr. and Alex Bowman share the shortest odds for Thursday’s race.

Elliott Or Truex? Who Is Providing Better Value?
Without a doubt, had William Byron not spun out on lap 398 of 400, his teammate Chase Elliott would have won the race Sunday as he had a 1.6-second lead over the eventual winner, Brad Keselowski. So naturally, it would make sense to peg Chase, who finished as the runner-up, as one of the betting favorites for Thursday’s race at the same track. That marked the second time over the last four runnings at Charlotte that Elliott has finished second.
On the first occasion, in 2017, he ran second to Martin Truex Jr., who has won three of the last seven races at Charlotte Motor Speedway. In fact, Truex has finished sixth or better in eight of the last nine runnings there and has led 80 or more laps in six of those. I think the experience and history favor Truex and he is providing slightly better value than Elliott.
Betting Pick: Martin Truex Jr. +450, Alex Bowman +450
I hitched my wagon to Martin Truex Jr. for the Coca-Cola 600 and he led the second-most laps while finishing sixth, so I’m going back to the well for this run. As mentioned earlier, he has won three of the last seven runnings and finished sixth or better in eight of the last nine, so you know he will be in the mix and +450 is a good shot at him.
Despite placing 19th on Sunday, Alex Bowman appeared to be the car to beat for the majority of the race. Bowman won stages 1 and 2 while finishing second in stage 3, but the car got away from him a bit in the final 100 laps and he fell off to his eventual finishing position. He said that he was fighting the car all night but that they learned a lot. If he was fighting the car all night and still led the most laps with 164, I can’t wait to see what happens if they dial the No. 88 in on Thursday.
