Joe Gibbs Racing is going for a three-peat at the 2024 Food City 500 after winning the race the last two years when it was on dirt. It's shifting to concrete this year, but JGR is hoping the results stay the same. Christopher Bell enters 2024 NASCAR at Bristol as the defending champion, while Kyle Busch was victorious the year prior. Meanwhile, Joe Gibbs Racing has three drivers in the top eight of the Cup Series standings in Martin Truex Jr., Ty Gibbs and Denny Hamlin, so it appears as well-positioned as any team for success at NASCAR at Bristol 2024.
The green flag drops on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET from Bristol Motor Speedway. Bell is a 5-1 co-favorite in the 2024 NASCAR at Bristol 2024 odds, tied alongside Kyle Larson, who won the fall Bristol race in 2021. Hamlin is 11-2, with William Byron and Ryan Blaney both 11-1. Before making any 2024 Food City 500 picks or NASCAR at Bristol predictions, you need to see what elite expert auto racing handicappers Phil Bobbitt and Steve Greco have to say.
Bobbitt and Greco built a predictive engine that consistently beats the books. They find huge value and aren't afraid of volume. Over the past three years, their followers are up more than $24,500 on $100 plays.
Last season, they called +4000 longshot Michael McDowell winning the Verizon 200 at the Brickyard and Ryan Blaney to win the NASCAR Cup Series Championship at +3000.
The duo began 2024 by calling Hamlin to win the Clash at the Coliseum at +1100 and hit on three of its four top-five wagers. Three weeks ago at Atlanta, they predicted Daniel Suarez's victory at +3500 and were 10-2 on matchup plays. Anyone following Bobbitt and Greco has seen huge returns.
Now, Bobbitt and Greco have analyzed the field and odds for Sunday's NASCAR at Bristol 2024 race. They're sharing their best bets only at SportsLine.
2024 Food City 500 expert picks
One of Bobbitt and Greco's top NASCAR bets: They are backing Chase Elliott to finish in the top 10 (+100). The 28-year-old from Dawsonville, Ga., doesn't exactly enter Sunday's race in raging form. He has yet to finish in the top-10 in a NASCAR Cup Series race this season, with his best finish being a 12th at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
But he leads all active drivers in average starting position (7.846) and finishing position at the 0.533-mile track (11.923). "He has fantastic track history at Bristol," they told SportsLine. "The books are starting to really give us some advantageous pricing when it comes to this guy, so like we've preached in the past: Zig when they want you to zag."

Bobbitt and Greco also have identified three drivers at 50-1 or more to win it all. The longest shot is better than 65-1 and "wheels it better in every way." Anyone who backs this driver could hit it big. You can see who they are only at SportsLine.
