Among the most notable:

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

??? Daniel Suarez showed plenty of speed in practice and qualifying in the No. 41 Ford, along with his lineup reflects that. Opening at 55-1 chances, Suarez sits at 25-1 and is among the biggest movers.

??? 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. He’s gone from 16-1 odds to 8-1, the next greatest in the field 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 strange didn’t go significantly, it is well worth noting that Kevin Harvick — that has dominated at Atlanta the last five years — watched his chances as race favorite go from 4.5-1 into 6-1 after his slow Friday.
