Before we take a look at the top contenders and get into the analysis and predictions for this race, check out our how-to bet on NASCAR page.

Kyle Larson (+300)

In his last 11 NASCAR Cup Series starts Larson has three wins and five top-10 finishes. Displaying his versatility, Larson won on the road course at The Brickyard, on Bristol's short track and on the Charlotte Roval.

It isn't merely his back-to-back wins on the track that make Larson such a compelling pick in the NASCAR odds at Las Vegas. Since 2017, his average finish around the track is 4.4. Over the past five races at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Larson has never finished worse than second.

Denny Hamlin (+750)

Hamlin owns a win in this race in 2021. He's still chasing his first NASCAR Cup Series title.

At the moment, that dream isn't looking like becoming a reality. Hamlin is in a 21-race winless drought. He's gone 15 races without recording a top-three finish.

Tyler Reddick (+800)

As the NASCAR regular-season champion, Reddick was entering the playoffs in good spirits. Unfortunately, things haven't gone as swimmingly in the playoffs.

Reddick's 11th-place finish at the Charlotte Roval last week was his first time cracking the top-20 in six races. He barely qualified for the top eight.

William Byron (+800)

Byron won threee of the first eight races of the season, including the coveted Daytona 500. He hasn't driven down Victory Lane since, but you have to think he's due to do so soon.

In the last three races, he was third at Charlotte, third at Talledega and second at Kansas. In 31 starts this season, Byron has 11 top fives and 17 top-10 performances. He also was a winner at Las Vegas in the spring 2023 race, the last time Larson didn't win there.

Best NASCAR South Point 400 Prop Bets

Larson is the +110 chalk to record a top-three finish in NASCAR South Point 400 race props. Considering how well he's run at Las Vegas, getting positive odds on Larson seems like a play you must make.

Larson, Bell Best Bets In NASCAR Cup Series Futures

Larson's win last week at Charlotte pushed him atop the NASCAR Cup Series standings. However, oddsmakers aren't ready to anoint the 2021 champion with his second title in NASCAR futures betting.

There's four races still on the docket and it's Larson and Bell who are both given co-favorite status at +300 to be the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series champion. While Larson already has a title to his credit, Bell is still searching for his first season championship.

They are two distinctly different drivers. Larson goes for the gusto and leads the Cup Series with six wins this season. However, Bell is often in his rear-view mirror. He's the most consistent NASCAR Cup Series driver, with 20 top-10 finishes.

NASCAR South Point 400 Betting Pick

If you want to be that guy, you could bet Hamlin, who won here in 2021, or go with Byron, the last driver other than Larson to win at Vegas. But why think that hard?
