Las Vegas Motor Speedway has been a stop on the NASCAR schedule since 1998, and the 1.5-mile oval began hosting races biannually in 2018. Now, the NASCAR Cup Series will return to Sin City on Sunday for the 2023 Pennzoil 400, with the 2023 NASCAR at Las Vegas race scheduled to go 267 laps. The green flag drops at 3:30 p.m. ET. Joey Logano won the playoff race in Las Vegas last season on his way to winning the NASCAR Cup Series championship and will seek a fourth win at Las Vegas this week.

The latest 2023 Pennzoil 400 odds from Caesars Sportsbook list Logano at 8-1 along with current points leader Ross Chastain. However, Kyle Larson and Kyle Busch sit atop the 2023 NASCAR at Las Vegas odds as 6-1 co-favorites.

2023 Pennzoil 400 expert picks

One of Bobbitt and Greco's top 2023 Pala Casino 400 prop bets: They are backing Ross Chastain to finish better than Kyle Larson (-110). Chastain burst onto the scene last year, taking advantage of the parity created by NASCAR's Next-Gen car by winning twice and finishing second in the NASCAR standings. He also created one of the top moments in NASCAR history when he rode the wall through Turns 3 and 4 in Martinsville in the penultimate race of the season to edge Denny Hamlin at the line and sneak into the series-finale.

Now, he's atop the NASCAR standings after a ninth-place finish at Daytona and a third last week in Fontana. Chastain has finished top 10 or better in his last six races and been top four in five of his last seven starts. Meanwhile, Kyle Larson got caught up in a crash in Daytona that led to an 18th-place finish and then went 16 laps down before finishing 29th last week.

Ultimately, Larson seems to be working through some early-season issues, while Chastain appears to have his Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet well-oiled. Chastain had a better track record in Las Vegas last season in the Next-Gen Car, leading a total of 151 laps in two races and finishing third in the spring race and second in the fall race. Larson finished second in the spring race after leading 27 laps, but never made it to the front in the fall and finished 35th. See what other NASCAR picks they like at SportsLine.
