Through The Gears: NASCAR Betting Odds for Texas

Saddle up your bets this week, because it’s Texas time!

While Carson Hocevar rode the Dente to his first career NASCAR Cup Series win last week at Talladega Superspeedway, we’re joining him in putting the cowboy hat on as NASCAR heads to Texas Motor Speedway, a track just as unpredictable as the superspeedways for bettors in the Next Gen era. The reigning Texas polesitter enters the weekend with +1,800 odds.

While former Texas winners Denny Hamlin (+525), Kyle Larson (+650) and Tyler Reddick (+600) top the boards as favorites to win, historically winners come from deeper in the field as cautions and chaos have dominated in years past.

Wyatt Watson and guest Tino Pattigno guide you through what you need to know going into the weekend and get you set with the best bets for the Wurth 400 presented by LIQUI MOLY on Sunday (May 3).
