South Point 400 Betting Predictions
OPTION 1: Kyle Busch (+1200)
Back in March of this year, Busch finished 14th at Las Vegas, which was somewhat disappointing given his starting position was fifth. That said, in his two starts here in 2022, he placed third and fourth, respectively, after starting 18th and 37th, respectively. In fact, in his last six starts at Vegas, Busch finished 14th, 3rd, 4th, 3rd, 3rd and 6th. He also has one victory on this track, although that came in 2009.
OPTION 2: Ross Chastain (+1600)
In his first seven career starts at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Chastain never finished higher than 20th and finished as low as 33rd. That said, over his last three starts here, he’s finished 3rd, 2nd and 12th, respectively. He’s inside the top-10 today at No. 10, which is important considering six of the last seven Las Vegas winners have started in the top-10.
OPTION 3: Joey Logano (+2500)
Looking for a wildcard today? Try Logano at +2500. Back in March, he finished 36th here despite starting in the pole position. If you go back to October of last year, however, he won at Las Vegas Motor Speedway after starting fifth. In his last 20 starts on this track, Logano has 12 top-10 finishes, seven top-5s and has won at Las Vegas Motor Speedway three times.
