Las Vegas odds: Stewart-Haas Racing drivers jump up board

Driver chances to win Sunday’s Dragon Power NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway have jumped substantially all weekend for many drivers — most notably, three of Stewart-Haas Racing’s four drivers have jumped towards the surface of the board.

This year’s first race in an intermediate track includes a brand-new rules bundle — know more about that here and with it, plenty of learnings. Aric Almirola and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. will start 1-2 Sunday, and unusual exercise speeds led to odds movement.

One of the most notable:

??? Aric Almirola, who won his first Busch Pole Award opened at 25-1 odds. He enters Sunday in 10-1, a terrific value for people who plunked down a wager on him until the weekend began. Nine drivers are better or listed at 10-1.

??? Daniel Suarez showed lots of speed in qualifying and practice in the No. 41 Ford, along with his line reveals that. Suarez is one of the movers and currently sits at 25-1.

??? Clint Bowyer, the next SHR driver on the list, led both practice sessions and seemed to be the favorite to win the Busch Pole. He qualified third, however. He has gone from 16-1 chances to 8-1, the third highest in the area behind Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch.

??? Ricky Stenhouse Jr., meanwhile, jumped from 66-1 odds to 20-1 after his No. 17 Roush Fenway Ford Mustang delivered a P2 qualifying position.

??? Though the odd didn’t go significantly, it’s well worth noting that Kevin Harvick — who has dominated at Atlanta the last five years — watched his odds as race favored move from 4.5-1 to 6-1 after his slow Friday.
