Driver chances to win Sunday’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway have jumped considerably all weekend for several drivers — most notably, three of Stewart-Haas Racing’s four motorists have leapt toward the surface of the board.

Among the most notable:
??? Aric Almirola, who won his first Busch Pole Award opened at 25-1 odds. He enters Sunday a terrific value for those who plunked down a wager on him before the weekend began. Nine drivers are greater or recorded at 10-1.
??? Daniel Suarez showed lots of speed in practice and qualifying in the No. 41 Ford, along with his line reflects that. Suarez is among the greatest movers and sits at 25-1.
??? Clint Bowyer, the next SHR driver on the list, directed both practice sessions and appeared to be the favorite to win the Busch Pole. He qualified third, though. He’s gone out of 16-1 odds to 8-1, the next greatest in the area behind Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch.
??? Ricky Stenhouse Jr., meanwhile, jumped from 66-1 odds to 20-1 following his No. 17 Roush Fenway Ford Mustang delivered a P2 qualifying position.
??? Although the odd did not move significantly, it’s well worth noting that Kevin Harvick — that has dominated at Atlanta the previous five years — watched his chances as race favored move from 4.5-1 to 6-1 after his slow Friday.
