NASCAR returns to an oval this Sunday. The short, flat track in Richmond will see the second official race in the new low-downforce short-track package. There is a chance for variance in the new racing package, but Richmond tends to be very chalky.

NASCAR changes the rules package at the road courses every year. The DFS NASCAR winning lineups never look the same. This season is no different. The rules package changed (less downforce) and the rules changed (no more stage break cautions). This should be an exciting weekend across the three DFS NASCAR racing series.

It’s only the fifth race of the 2023 NASCAR season and the Cup Series is going pack racing again. Atlanta isn’t quite Daytona or Talladega, but the newly configured track is awfully close. With that being the case, it’s time to fire up some long shot super speedway NASCAR bets.

There are certain races on the NASCAR annual schedule that command more attention from the betting markets than others. Obviously, the Daytona 500 is king. However, the two events in which the Cup Series travels to Las Vegas each year are right up there as well. At VSiN, we take special interest in these two races because of the affiliation our friends at South Point Hotel & Casino have with the sport. They’ve been the title sponsor of the last five fall races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. With that in mind, with the circuit coming to town this weekend for the Pennzoil 400, I figured it would be prudent to offer up an expanded betting preview for the event, including a more detailed breakdown of the key factors that go into my race simulation, as well as my early race predictions.
