The model correctly predicted winners in two playoff races as well, with Ryan Blaney scoring a 12-1 payout at Talladega and Larson winning at 9-2 in Las Vegas.
It also called its first victory of the 2024 season with Larson winning again in Las Vegas for a 21-5 payout then predicted a Denny Hamlin's wins in Bristol at 5-1 and Richmond at 17-4. It impressively nailed five of Larson's wins during his historic season in 2021 too. All told, the model has nailed a whopping 18 winners since 2021 and hit nine last year alone! Anyone who followed its lead on those NASCAR picks saw HUGE returns.
Now, the model has dialed in on NASCAR at Texas and released its projections.
The model knows Texas Motor Speedway is a 1.5-mile quad oval with that opened in 1996 and began hosting the NASCAR Cup Series in 1997. Jimmie Johnson was a seven-time winner in Texas and Hendrick Motorsports has once again been the dominant force at TMS of late, winning two of the last three races. Byron won the only race there last season and Larson led for 256 laps on his way to victory in 2021. All four Hendrick Motorsports drivers are currently top 10 in the 2024 NASCAR standings with Larson sitting in first with a 14-point lead over Martin Truex Jr.
For the 2024 EchoPark Automotive 400, we can tell you the model is high on Ty Gibbs, even though he's a 15-1 longshot in the latest 2024 NASCAR at Texas odds. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday.
