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 horizontal track in Phoenix for the fourth race of the year.

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

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

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

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

But unlike in those previous races, all drivers will be using a new automobile setup implemented by NASCAR, one different from that which we saw the previous two weeks at Atlanta and Las Vegas. Teams may utilize a tapered spacer — and no ducts — for the first time. They’ll use a 750-horsepower engine at Phoenix instead of the engine at Vegas. NASCAR hopes to find a well-handling car with a quicker response time around the throttle. The package could close the gap Harvick and Busch have experienced on the area.

So much in 2 races with NASCAR differing rules package, Ford has five consecutive period wins and has led 65 percent of their laps. Harvick’s teammate, ford driver Aric Almirola, will be a sleeper motorist. He was third at New Hampshire’s similar design final season, fifth at Richmond and fourth last season’s fall race in Phoenix. Almirola is 20/1 to win on Sunday and he is liked by us .
