NASCAR betting: Kyle Busch sits near top of Vegas oddsboards

Kyle Busch finished last in the first three races of the Cup Series playoffs. He is the favorite to win the South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday at 7 p.m. ET. The two-time champion has two wins and two second-place finishes on ovals this year. He's been running better than his teammates at these tracks. His teammate, Kyle Larson, is also a favorite. They are the only two drivers still in contention for the 2021 Cup Championship.

Kyle Busch is one of the top NASCAR betting options.

Kyle Larson has won on all the tracks he's been on this season. He won in Vegas in March.

Team Penske drivers all rate near the top of the field in recent Vegas history. Brad Keselowski has a Cup-leading 4.86 average finish over the seven most recent races at this track. Ryan Blaney owns a 8.57 average and 101.3 rating. Joey Logano’s 113. 3 average rating ranks second to Kevin Harvick (114.2).

Kevin Harvick is the highest-rated driver at Vegas. He finished 20th there in March. Last year he finished 10th. Harrvck finished second at Bristol last week.
