The 2023 Toyota Owners 400 kickstarts a three-race short-track portion of the NASCAR Cup Series schedule on Sunday at Richmond Raceway. There have been five different winners in the last six races at Richmond, with Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick winning the two events there last year. Hamlin and Harvick are each seeking their first win this year as 2023 Toyota Owners 400 contenders. Caesars Sportsbook lists Harvick as the 11-2 favorite in the latest 2023 NASCAR at Richmond odds, while William Byron is 6-1 and Christopher Bell is 15-2.
Byron was second among all drivers in average finishing position (7.2) on short tracks. Should you back him in your 2023 NASCAR Richmond bets?

2023 NASCAR at Richmond expert picks
One of Bobbitt and Greco's top 2023 Toyota Owners 400 prop bets: They are backing Denny Hamlin to finish ahead of Christopher Bell at +120 odds. Bell led the NASCAR Cup Series in average finishing position at short-track races last year, but has never won at Richmond. He has 10 top-10 finishes in his past 16 races, which ranks second among all drivers during that stretch.
However, Hamlin occupies the top spot in that stat, leading the final five laps to beat Harvick at Richmond last year. Hamlin has four career wins at Richmond and finished sixth at Atlanta Motor Speedway two weeks ago. Bell has been inconsistent this season and not as elite as Hamlin on short tracks during his career, so the experts are on Hamlin at plus-money in this prop.
