The NASCAR Cup Series returns to a short track on Sunday at 3 p.m. ET with the 2025 Food City 500. Previously a dirt race, this year it will be held on the 0.533-mile concrete oval of Bristol Motor Speedway.

Denny Hamlin secured his first short track victory of the year at Martinsville and followed it up with a Darlington win. He also won at Bristol in 2024. While Hamlin is among the favorites at +490 along with Larson, consider other potential longshots such as Chris Buescher at +3000 and Austin Dillon at +25000.
