Another key that favors Edwards is the continuing success of FR-9 Ford racing engine. Atlanta can blow up the best engines and that is a possibility with Edwards engine in this race. At 12-1 Carl Edwards is the best bet to win the Atlanta Emory Healthcare 500.

Tony Stewart is 12-1 and is the 2nd Best Bet to Win Emory Healthcare 500

Clint Bowyer at 20-1 is a Solid 3rd Choice to Win Atlanta Emory Healthcare 500
