Best Bets for Cup |
Kyle Larson +400 | Top 3 +115 | Top 10 -500
Kyle Larson enters as the favorite to win on one of his best race tracks on the Cup calendar. In his 15 starts at Las Vegas, Larson has finished inside the Top 10 in 11 races, including two wins back in 2021 and last Fall. After wrecking out last week in Atlanta, he’ll be looking for his first win of the season on Sunday.
William Byron +900 | Top 3 +250 | Top 10 -250
Since the debut of the NextGen, William Byron has finished inside the Top 10 in three of four races at Las Vegas. Not to mention, Hendrick Motorsports has gone to victory lane in three straight Spring races. Last year’s Pennzoil 400 winner will be looking to return to victory lane for the second time this season on Sunday.
Christopher Bell +1000 | Top 3 +250 | Top 10 -240
Christopher Bell was so close to winning last Fall, mounting a late race charge that was blocked by Kyle Larson at the finish. Bell finished in the Top 10 in three of his last four starts at Las Vegas, including starting on the pole twice. The driver for Joe Gibbs Racing will be looking to dethrone Chevy and bring Toyota their first Cup win in 2024.
Kyle Busch +1000 | Top 3 +350 | Top 10 -230
He hasn’t won at his hometown track since 2009, but Kyle Busch has been fairly consistent. In 25 starts, Kyle Busch has an average finish of 10th, with Top 10 finishes in three of the last four races in the NextGen car. After being inches away from winning last week in Atlanta, Busch will be looking for a win in front of the hometown crowd this weekend.
Brad Keselowski +1800 | Top 3 +550 | Top 10 —140
It’s been a rough start to the season for Brad Keselowski with two DNF’s, but luck could be turning around. Keselowski has a good history with Las Vegas, with 13 Top 10’s and three wins. His last win came in 2018 and last Fall he finished 4th, things can only go up from here for Keselwoski.
Bubba Wallace +2000 | Top 3 +550 | Top 10 -140
Since his Kansas win in 2022, Bubba Wallace has made it clear to the rest of the field that he’s capable of winning. Last season, he finished inside the Top 10 in seven of ten races at 1.5 mile tracks. With two Top 5’s to start 2024, Bubba and 23XI Racing will look to make it three straight Top 5’s this weekend.
Daniel Suarez +6500 | Top 3 +1100 | Top 10 +250
After winning in one of the closest finishes in recent memory, Daniel Suarez is looking to continue the high of that victory this weekend. He finished in the Top 10 in last year’s Spring race. If he can have a good qualifying session, Suarez will be in a good position to get another Top 10 finish on the year.
