NASCAR been racing at Las Vegas Motor Speedway since 1998 with Mark Martin winning the inaugural event. Joe Gibbs Racing<\/a> and Hendrick Motorsports<\/a> drivers hold the top six starting spots on the grid with Denny Hamlin leading a 1-2-3 for JGR.<\/a><\/p>\n

However, the pole-sitter has only won this race once before, and that was Kyle Busch<\/a> back in 2009. Recent races have seen an emergence of Penske-powered cars with Joey Logano<\/a> winning this race one year ago, which vaulted him into the final four and helped him to earn his third Cup title. Earlier this year, Josh Berry<\/a> in the Penske-aligned Wood Brothers Ford earned his first career win in Vegas, but the Penske cars were the slowest of the eight remaining title combatants.<\/p>\n

But what are the betting odds in Sin City?<\/p>\n

Leading the way is\u00a0Kyle Larson<\/a>\u00a0at +350. In 13 starts, he holds the best average finish among active drivers at 9.4, along with three checkered flags. However, he hasn’t won a Cup race since before his Indy 500\/Coke 600 double in May.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Right behind Larson is the pole-sitter as Hamlin hunts a milestone 60th career win. Hamlin is sitting a +450 odds. He has one previous win in Vegas, which came during the 2021 season.<\/p>\n

Christopher Bell<\/a> is tied with teammate Hamlin at +450, and while he’s never won this race, he has come close before. Bell starts third in Sunday’s race, and he finished second one year ago.<\/p>\n

William Byron<\/a> is next at +550, followed by Chase Briscoe<\/a> at +800, and Ryan Blaney<\/a> at +900. Only Byron is a former Vegas winner, but all three start in the top six with Briscoe joining Hamlin on the front row.<\/p>\n

The playoff drivers with the worst odds ahead of Vegas are Chase Elliott<\/a> and defending winner Logano at +1100. While Elliott is 0-16 in Vegas, Logano could be a good bet as the winningest active driver at the track (four wins).\u00a0<\/p>\n

But what about potential spoilers? The top non-playoff driver is Tyler Reddick<\/a> at +1600, who starts eighth in Sunday’s race. He went rolling upside down in last year’s race, so here’s hoping history doesn’t repeat itself. His teammate Bubba Wallace<\/a>, who starts seventh, could be another driver to watch at +1800.<\/p>\n

If you really want to roll the dice and go for a longshot, there are some options there as well. JGR looks very strong and while he’s yet to win at the Cup level, Ty Gibbs<\/a> also qualified inside the top ten (P10), and sits at a distant +3500 odds. Berry, the most recent winner in LVMS, is also at +3500.<\/p>\n
