NASCAR at Richmond odds, key stats, bets to consider: Handicap Toyota Owners 400 with similar race tracks

Following an exciting race in Tennessee, NASCAR heads to Richmond Raceway Saturday night (6 p.m. CT, FOX) to its third short-track race that the Cup Series season.

Richmond, the website of the Toyota Owners 400, is 0.25 miles longer than Bristol and Martinsville, but NASCAR still categorizes it as a brief track. It is actually most similar in banking to New Hampshire and Phoenix’s 1-mile apartment monitor and it’s no surprise drivers who’ve had success at these monitors have been contenders in Richmond.

Kyle Busch, who won Sunday’s race in Bristol as the race-favorite, once more has the shortest chances (2/1) on the plank at the Westgate SuperBook because he seeks his seventh win in Richmond. Busch has finished in the top 10 in each race this year and owns a series-best 6.9 average finish in the Richmond. Busch won and directed a race-high 177 laps in Phoenix layout at March and has finished first and second at the prior two races at New Hampshire.

Recent results, richmond rules package

Teams will utilize the 2019 rules package tailored for short paths (less than 1.33 miles) and street courses. A 1.17-inch tapered spacer is going to be used as it was earlier this season at Phoenix, Martinsville, and Bristol, with engines expected to generate about 750 horsepower. When handicapping the 400-lap race of Saturday, results from Phoenix should be bettors’ priority before exploring the results of last year from Richmond and New Hampshire, since different packages were used.

Pole-sitter Ryan Blaney (94) and Aric Almirola (26) also led laps in Phoenix in March, as did Denny Hamlin (7), Jimmie Johnson (4), and Daniel Hemric (4). Busch won Stage 1 and Blaney won Phase 2, and the duo was joined by Martin Truex Jr. (moment ), Almirola (third), and Hamlin (fifth) at the top five in the checkered flag.
