Denny Hamlin has made 27 starts at Atlanta Motor Speedway during his NASCAR Cup Series career, but made his way to Victory Lane just once. The 43-year-old will attempt to make his long-awaited return when he participates in the 2024 Ambetter Health 400 on Sunday. Hamlin's lone win at Atlanta came in this race in 2012, when he led 105 laps and finished 0.378 seconds ahead of Jeff Gordon to capture the checkered flag. He has posted five top-five finishes in 14 starts at the track since the triumph, with his best result being third place in 2014. Hamlin began this season with 19th-place finish at last week's Daytona 500, a race he has won three times in his career.
Sunday's 2024 NASCAR at Atlanta race is scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. ET. Hamlin is 19-2, while Joey Logano, who won this race last year, is the 9-1 favorite in the latest 2024 Ambetter Health 400 odds, but will reportedly suffer a penalty to open Sunday's race. Other top 2024 NASCAR at Atlanta contenders include the trio of reigning Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney, Christopher Bell and Brad Keselowski, all of whom are 10-1.

2024 Ambetter Health 400 expert picks
One of Bobbitt and Greco's top NASCAR bets: They are backing Bubba Wallace, even though he's a longshot at 18-1 in the latest 2024 Ambetter Health 400 odds.
Wallace has struggled in qualifying at Atlanta but he's shown the ability to pass a lot of drivers on this track. He's finished significantly higher than his starting position in four of his last five races at this track.
While he finished outside the top 20 in both 2023 races, Wallace had a respectable average finish position of 14.8 in the 2021 and 2022 races at Atlanta. Bobbitt and Greco were impressed with his fifth-place finish at Daytona on Monday, and they are believers in both Wallace and Toyota at a track that profiles similarly to Daytona International Speedway in a few ways.
