2026 NASCAR Pennzoil 400 odds, picks, props: best bets from proven racing experts

Ryan Blaney will look to stretch his winning streak to two races when he competes as one of the favorites at Sunday's NASCAR Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Blaney led for 28 laps last week en route to the win at the Straight Talk Wireless 500 at Phoenix Raceway. He nosed out Christopher Bell, who finished 0.399 seconds behind to take second. Kyle Larson is the Pennzoil 400 favorite at +500 (risk $100 to win $500) at FanDuel.

Among the other favorites are Bell (+600), Denny Hamlin and Blaney (+850). William Byron is at +900, followed by Tyler Reddick (+1000), who had his three-race win streak stopped last week, Joey Logano (+1100), Chase Briscoe (+1200) and Ross Chastain (+1300). Sunday's race is set to start at 1:30 p.m. ET.

For the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, we can tell you Bobbitt and Greco are backing Carson Hocevar over Josh Berry (-115, Caesars) in a head-to-head matchup. "This matchup looks closer on the board than it does in the data," Bobbitt said. "Berry did win the spring Vegas race last year, which is something the broadcast will remind us of approximately every seven minutes for the rest of our natural lives. But when you zoom out and look at the full intermediate-track sample from 2025, that win sticks out like a roulette wheel landing on green. Across the 10 comparable intermediate races last season, Berry averaged 7.2 fastest laps and 6.2 laps led. The bigger story is his race pace. Berry's average running position across those races was 20.1, and he spent just 39.2% of his laps inside the top-15. That profile screams 'occasionally sneaky result,' not 'weekly contender.'

"Hocevar's numbers tell a different story. Across the same comparable races, Hocevar averaged 8.0 fastest laps and 7.0 laps led while carrying a much stronger 15.8 average running position. More importantly, he spent 60.2% of his laps inside the top-15. That gap in sustained pace matters at a place like Las Vegas, where long green-flag runs tend to expose who actually has speed and who is just hanging on."
