NASCAR heads west to desert of Phoenix Raceway to kick off the first short track race of the season after Tyler Reddick made history with a season-opening threepeat completed in dominating fashion over Shane van Gisbergen to cash pre-qualifying +1,600 odds, cashing a big win for those tuned into Through the Gears last weekend.
Reddick enters Phoenix at +1,800 odds but will have to defeat strong competitors at the 1-mile track and use the dogleg to his advantage as he faces defending Phoenix winner and favorite Ryan Blaney (+500 odds) and Joe Gibbs Racing duo Christopher Bell and Denny Hamlin (both at +650 odds) in order to make it happen.
Wyatt Watson and Stock Car Scoop‘s Eric Schneck dive into the sportsbooks to lay out the best options for bettors for this weekend’s racing in the desert.
