I was off the grid yesterday afternoon and evening for a night on the town with my wife, so I missed NASCAR odds for Richmond reopening following practice and qualifying.
It appears that I missed a lot of the good numbers on outrights, though there is one NASCAR betting prediction for Richmond available right now that I'm grabbing ahead of this afternoon's Cook Out 400 (3 p.m. ET, USA).
So if you're late to NASCAR odds party like me, or simply looking to add to your existing betting card for Richmond, here's my favorite betting prediction for Sunday's race in Virginia.
NASCAR Prediction for Richmond
*NASCAR odds as of Sunday
I really like the Toyotas today.
I know, I'm not really going out on a limb there considering that Martin Truex Jr. is the race favorite at +400 and Denny Hamlin is tied with Kevin Harvick (both at +550) for the second-best odds at FanDuel Sportsbook.
In addition, Toyota driver Tyler Reddick will start on pole with 23XI teammate Bubba Wallace rolling off fifth.
In fact, five of the six Toyotas (Reddick, Hamlin, Wallace, Ty Gibbs and Truex) are all starting in the top 10 with Christopher Bell back in 29th.
However, Bell was one of the fastest cars in practice, and with a track like Richmond that produces significant tire falloff, the driver of the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota shouldn't have a problem slicing his way to the front if the car is as good today as it was on Saturday.
This all points me toward Toyota as the winning manufacturer at +160 odds.
And, as always, be sure to shop for the best NASCAR odds if taking this bet as well.
For example, this line is +115 at DraftKings and +120 at Caesars, but it's +160 at bet365.
The bet: Winning Manufacturer – Toyota (+160) via bet365
