NASCAR at Phoenix betting odds, props, key stats to help bettors win TicketGuardian 500

After back-to-back Team Penske wins, NASCAR heads to ISM Raceway’s one-mile flat trail in Phoenix for the fourth race of the season.

Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano are riding streaks of eight top-12 endings dating back to last season, but both drivers are going to take a backseat to the current dominating performances of Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch in Phoenix.

Harvick (9/4) and Busch (7/2) have the shortest odds to win Sunday’s TicketGuardian 500 and won at the track last season. This weekend, even if Harvick were to win, he’d join an elite team, becoming only the sixth driver in series history to win 10 or even more Cup Series races in one track; joining Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip, Jimmie Johnson, David Pearson and Dale Earnhardt.

In three of the last four Phoenix races, Busch has headed 359 laps, including 117 in his win during last season’s playoffs — the first under the new arrangement of this track.

Phoenix’s monitor is comparable to Richmond and New Hampshire and it is no surprise both Harvick and Busch have experienced similar success at these racks. Busch has won the previous two races at Richmond and 2017’s fall race in New Hampshire. Harvick won the most-recent race in New Hampshire and has finished in the top five in five of the past six races at Richmond.

But unlike in these preceding races, all motorists will be using a new automobile setup implemented by NASCAR, another from that which we saw the previous fourteen days at Atlanta and Las Vegas. This season teams will use a tapered spacer — and no ducts that are aero — for the very first time. They will use a 750-horsepower engine at Phoenix rather than the engine at Vegas. NASCAR hopes to see a car using a faster response time on the throttle. The new bundle could close the gap Harvick and Busch have experienced on the field.

So much in two races with the slightly differing rules package of NASCAR, Ford has five stage wins and has led 65 percent of their laps. Ford motorist Aric Almirola, Harvick’s teammate, will be a sleeper driver. He was third in New Hampshire’s similar design last season, fifth at Richmond and fourth last season’s fall race in Phoenix. Almirola is 20/1 to win on Sunday and we enjoy him in a matchup with Kyle Larson in -110.
