Before making any NASCAR picks, be sure to see what CBS Sports NASCAR writer Steven Taranto has to say.

Taranto is the lead NASCAR writer for CBSSports.com, and he chronicles stock car racing with the same thoroughness and passion that he's had since becoming a full-time race fan in 2001. He has an annual NASCAR media credential and also publishes a popular weekly NASCAR predictions column, famously calling Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez's breakthrough wins in 2022. Taranto started this season with a bang by nailing William Byron as a 16-1 longshot in the Daytona 500, Kyle Larson at 4-1 in the Pennzoil 400 and Denny Hamlin at 5-1 in the Food City 500! He also moonlights as a sim racer and has 20 career wins in iRacing.  

For the 2024 Toyota Owners 400, we can tell you Taranto is high on Chris Buescher, even though he's an 11-1 longshot. Another curveball: He's fading last week's winner, William Byron (11-1). "This is a bit of a bold move considering that Byron is coming off of a performance where he dog-walked the field at Circuit of the Americas, but his history at Richmond prevents me from betting on him with any sort of optimism. Outside of a third-place run here in the spring of 2022, Byron has only one other top-10 finish in his Richmond career, and he's had three-straight finishes of 11th or worse," Taranto told SportsLine.

Taranto also locked in five more Toyota Owners 400 best bets and is also high on a major dark horse priced at 100-1! You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks before locking in any NASCAR picks of your own for the 2024 Toyota Owners 400.
