Top 5 best bets for the Ruoff 500 at Phoenix Raceway

The best place to bet NASCAR is right here! On to week four of the Nascar season at Phoenix Raceway this Sunday. Look for Phoenix to be another exciting week of racing, providing fans with some prime entertainment. We are only three weeks into the Nascar season, and we have already seen 25 different drivers with at least one top 10 finish. Nascar’s Next Gen cars are continuing to be a challenge for teams and drivers to master, with some of the sports top drivers struggling to get a handle on the new car. Phoenix Raceway is a 1-mile, fast, low banked track which will prove to put the best drivers to the test. Don’t forget to join Steve Risley and Joe Spilman on The Grueling Truth Nascar Show each week as they recap all the action from the previous week and give you their top picks for the next race.

Top 5 best bets for the Ruoff 500 at Phoenix Raceway

• Kyle Larson is again the favorite for this week’s race at Phoenix. Larson would currently be in my top 5 at any racetrack on any surface, in any car from dirt modifieds all the way through Nascar’s top circuit. Larson is simply just the best there is right now in the world of auto racing. Larson is +400 to win, -110 to finish in the top 3, and -225 to finish in the top five.

• Denny Hamlin is off to a rough start in 2022 with his best finish being 15th at Fontana. Hamlin has proven to be one of Nascar’s elite drivers, and I look for him to have a strong finish this week at Phoenix, a track that he historically drives well at finishing 3rd twice there in 2021. Hamlin is +800 to win, +174 to finish in the top three, and –120 to finish in the top five.

• Chase Elliot has driven well this year, but he has run into some bad luck keeping him out of finishing in the top 5, most notably being wrecked by his teammate Kyle Larson at Fontana. Despite the bad luck however, Elliot has managed to secure two top-ten finishes in three races and is a past winner at Phoenix Raceway. I look for Elliot to run a strong race this week and be in contention to win. Elliot is +800 to win, +175 to finish in the top three, and –125 to finish in the top five.

• Martin Truex Jr has not been in my top five yet this season, however, this week is different. Truex historically finishes well at Phoenix winning the Ruoff 500 in 2021. This season Truex’s best finish came last week at Las Vegas with an 8th place finish. Look for Truex to continue his momentum this week in Phoenix with another strong finish. Truex is +750 to win, +150 to finish in the top three, and –140 to finish in the top 5. Check out more NASCAR news here!

• Kevin Harvick has competed in 38 cup races at the Phoenix Raceway and has won there a staggering 9 times. To say Harvick historically drives well at Phoenix would be an understatement. Look for Harvick to be competing for his 10th win at Phoenix toward the end of the race. Harvick is +1800 to win, +450 to finish in the Top3, and +180 to finish in the top 5. A strong finish from Harvick this week could pay off big.
