The NASCAR Cup Series continues on Sunday with the 2022 Pennzoil 400 from Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The green flag drops at 3:30 p.m. ET and defending NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson is the 7-2 favorite in the latest 2022 Pennzoil 400 odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Our proven projection model has simulated the NASCAR Las Vegas race 10,000 times and come up with a surprising leaderboard.

Developed by daily Fantasy pro and SportsLine predictive data engineer Mike McClure, this proprietary NASCAR prediction computer model takes into account a slew of factors including track history and recent results.

In the 2021 season, McClure nailed Martin Truex Jr. to win at Martinsville for a strong 3-1 payout. The model also nailed Kyle Larson winning the NASCAR All-Star Race at 5-2 in Texas and hit Larson again at the Ally 400 for another 5-2 payout. Then called Chase Elliott to win at Road America for a 5-2 payout.

It also called Larson's win at Texas for an 11-4 payout and his win at Kansas for a 9-4 payout in back-to-back weeks before nailing Larson to win the season finale in Phoenix to claim the 2021 NASCAR Cup Championship. In total, it called five of Larson's wins during a historic season and has also nailed all four of its head-to-head matchup predictions to start the season. Anyone who followed its lead on those plays saw HUGE returns.

Now, the model has dialed in on NASCAR at Las Vegas 2022 and released its projections. 

We can tell you the model is high on Alex Bowman, even though he's a 20-1 long shot in the latest 2022 NASCAR at Las Vegas odds. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday. And a massive shocker: Chase Elliott, one of the Vegas favorites at 7-1, stumbles big-time and barely cracks the top five! There are far better values in this open 2022 Pennzoil 400 field.

The model is also targeting two other drivers with 2022 Pennzoil 400 odds of 14-1 or longer to make a serious run at the checkered flag. Anyone who backs these drivers could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who they are before locking in any NASCAR picks.

So who wins the 2022 Pennzoil 400? And which triple-digit long shot is a MUST-BACK? ... Join SportsLine right now to see the full projected NASCAR at Las Vegas leaderboard, all from the model that nailed five of Kyle Larson's wins last season!
