Pennzoil 400 field

Kyle Larson sees himself as a clear favorite this weekend, twice as likely to win the Pennzoil 400 as the next-closest contender. It makes sense — Larson's arguably been the most consistent driver in the Cup Series on standard tracks over the past few seasons, and has been nothing short of dominant at Vegas. Aside from wrecking out in 35th in the fall of '22, he's won two of five races here, finishing 2-2-10 in the other three. That's nothing to trifle with. 

A tier below Larson, we find a predictable glut of NASCAR household names: William Byron, defending Pennzoil 400 champ, who started this season hot by winning the Daytona 500. Denny Hamlin, a consummate veteran and 2021 Vegas winner. Defending Cup champion Ryan Blaney, coming off a runner-up finish last weekend. And up-and-comer Christopher Bell, who enjoyed finishes of fifth and second at Vegas during his breakout 2023 season.

With Larson a shorter-than-normal favorite, several other drivers priced better than 10:1, and a crowded third tier just north of +1,000, we'd expect to see a fairly steep dropoff down the board. However, there's a particularly drastic split in the Pennzoil 400 odds, with a huge plummet after Erik Jones just about halfway down the field. 

There's only a very thin tier of moderate longshots separating the clear favorites from the extreme long-shots, a somewhat abnormal distribution for NASCAR odds, so be sure to check back later this week and see how our best bets want to attack the field.

Larson looks to continue his dominance at Vegas with a third win here in four seasons. Joey Logano and Brad Keselowski are also two-time champs among the viable winners.
