It only took four NASCAR Cup Series races to get a repeat winner in Joey Logano, but there have been a lot of really competitive cars over the first few events. As the NASCAR Cup Series heads to Atlanta for the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500, there are a lot of drivers that could be in contention at the 1.5-mile track.

We talked a little bit with Brian Blessing on <a href="http://bangthebook.com/nhl-players-championship-nascar-betting-the-board-with-brian-blessing-march-10-2020/690642/"><strong>Tuesday’s edition of BangTheBook Radio</strong></a> about this race and he followed that up with some more detail and some more analysis for us with this video preview on our BangTheBook YouTube page.

Brian handicaps a little bit of everything and has been an excellent asset for us on the podcast and also on video. He’s also been able to have eyes on most of the action so far in NASCAR. As we know, the order of finish doesn’t always tell the whole story, as the best cars sometimes get caught up in wrecks or some tire trouble, so you want to get the context, rather than just the outcome.

Because of that, Brian has some interesting and intriguing picks for us for the fifth race of the season and the start of three straight events on 1.5-mile tracks. Give this video a look to get Brian’s take and then also check out Tuesday’s edition of the best betting podcast in the best business to hear from host Adam Burke, who will also have a preview for this race on Wednesday.
