2024 Shriners Children's 500 props, odds, expert picks, prediction: Target Ty Gibbs in NASCAR best bets
William Byron already has posted a pair of top-10 finishes over the first three races of the NASCAR Cup Series season, including a victory in the season-opening Daytona 500. The 26-year-old will aim for another when he gets behind the wheel for the 2024 Shriners Children's 500 at Phoenix Raceway on Sunday. Byron, who was 10th at Las Vegas last weekend, recorded one of his career-high six victories of 2023 when he won this race in overtime. He made it back-to-back top five finishes and three straight top-10s at Phoenix when he was fourth in the Cup Series Championship race last November. The 2018 Rookie of the Year has been 10th or better in seven of his 12 career series starts at the track.
Sunday's 2024 NASCAR at Phoenix race is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. ET. Byron is 15-2, while Kyle Larson is the 11-2 favorite in the latest 2024 Shriners Children's 500 odds. Reigning Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney is 7-1 and Denny Hamlin is 8-1, while Christopher Bell and Ross Chastain round out the top six 2024 NASCAR at Phoenix contenders at 10-1.

2024 Shriners Children's 500 expert picks
One of Bobbitt and Greco's top NASCAR bets: They are backing Ty Gibbs to post a top-10 finish in the 2024 Shriners Children's 500. Gibbs registered 12 victories in 59 career starts in the Xfinity Series but has yet to make his way to Victory Lane in 54 Cup Series races. The 21-year-old posted one top-10 in 15 outings in 2022 but had 10 in 36 starts en route to earning Rookie of the Year honors last season.
Gibbs has been 10th or better in two of this year's three races thus far, finishing 10th at Atlanta on Feb. 25 before placing fifth last weekend at Las Vegas. The grandson of team owner Joe Gibbs was unable to crack the top 20 in his two Cup Series starts at Phoenix last season but enjoyed success there while in the Xfinity Series. He was runner-up in his lone outing at the track during his 2021 Rookie of the Year campaign and finished sixth in March 2022 before capturing the checkered flag and the series championship eight months later.
