Before we take a look at the top contenders and get into the analysis and predictions for this race, check out our how-to bet on NASCAR page.
Kyle Larson (+225)
Larson won this race last year, so he's on a two-race win streak at Bristol. He's finished in the top five in each of his past six Bristol starts.
He's recorded two wins and a second in his past four Bass Pro Shops Night Races.
Denny Hamlin (+550)
Hamlin is coming to Bristol, one of his favorite tracks, off a win last week in Illinois. He also arrived at Bristol in April riding a two-race win streak and finished second.
Currently leading the playoff standings, Hamlin has finished first or second in eight races this season.
Christopher Bell (+900)
It's been a struggle of late for the usually consistent Bell. He has eight finishes outside the top 10 in his past 12 races.
Bell has recorded just one finish above fifth during that span. He was eighth at Bristol in the spring and has shown finishes in the top 10 in each of the last six races on this track.
Chase Briscoe (+900)
Sitting in second place in the playoff race, Briscoe is a 50-50 proposition to finish in the top 10. He's wound up there 14 times in 28 races this season.
Briscoe finished fourth in the spring race at Bristol, his best finish ever on this track. His average finish in six races at Bristol is 13.16.
Chase Elliott (+900)
Elliott is another driver who has been scrapping. His third-place finish in Illinois brought to an end a six-race run in which he'd finished no better than 10th in any race.
Elliott has finished second in two of the past three Bass Pro Shop Night Races. He's come through with top 10 placings in six of the past seven fall races on this track.
Ryan Blaney (+900)
The 2023 NASCAR Cup Series winner was fifth at Bristol in the spring. He was a sixth-place finisher in this race last year.
Those successful performances brought to an end a run of three straight races at Bristol in which Blaney's finish was outside the top 20. In all races, Blaney shows seven top 1o finishes in his last eight starts.
Best NASCAR Bristol Prop Bets
In the best bets for the NASCAR Bass Pro Shops Night Race props, Briscoe is +120 to record a top-five finish. He's currently sharing the season lead with 12 top-five placings.
Considering their career success at Bristol, Larson (-185) and Elliott (+260) look to be solid plays to record a top-three finish in this race.
Hamlin, Larson Co-Favorites In NASCAR Cup Series Futures
Larson and Hamlin are set as co-favorites to win the NASCAR Cup Series title at odds of +400. Hamlin, who has never won a NASCAR Cup Series title, is leading the playoff standings with 34 points. Larson is sitting in a tie for second with 32 points.

NASCAR Bass Pro Shops Night Race Pick
Larson has plenty of historic success at Bristol, but so does Hamlin. At some point, Hamlin has to earn himself a NASCAR Cup Series title, and the veteran driver is in position to do so right now.
No driver has more career wins without winning a title than Hamlin (59). He'll add another to his total this week. Go with Hamlin to win the Bass Pro Shops Night Race in the NASCAR picks.
