The 2021 NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs head into the second week at Richmond Raceway. The green flag drops on the Federated Auto Parts 400 on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET. This will be the fourth time that Richmond Raceway has hosted the second race of the playoffs. A total of 13 different drivers have won the second race of the Playoffs, but no non-Playoff driver has ever earned a victory in the second postseason event. 

Denny Hamlin, listed at 4-1 odds in the latest Federated Auto Parts 400 odds from Caesars Sportsbook, ended a 31-race winless streak last week with his victory at Darlington. He has guaranteed himself a spot in the next round of the playoffs and now will compete at one of his best tracks. He is a three-time winner at Richmond with an average finish of 9.0 and a driver rating of 107.8, both of which are third-best among active drivers. Kyle Busch, listed at 7-1 odds, leads in average finish (6.8) and driver rating (110.1) at Richmond. 

Before making any 2021 Federated Auto Parts 400 picks, you NEED to see what SportsLine's Micah Roberts has to say. Roberts, a former Vegas bookmaker, was the first to offer expanded NASCAR betting, and now hands out NASCAR winners to his followers on SportsLine. Roberts is the nation's premier NASCAR betting expert, and his top pick, Chase Elliott, won the Jockey Made in America 250 in early July at 2-1 odds. 

He also correctly predicted the Coca-Cola 600 winner in the final event of May, hitting Larson's win at 11-2 odds. The previous week, he was on point at the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix, targeting Elliott as the winner at 8-5 odds. 

Now, Roberts has analyzed Saturday's Federated Auto Parts 400 starting grid. We can tell you he is fading Chase Elliott, even though he is listed at 10-1 odds. In fact, he says Elliott barely even cracks the top 15!

Instead, Roberts is high on a long shot who has been dominant at Richmond in the Xfinity series! This driver is being underestimated by oddsmakers, and anyone who bets on him could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making any picks.

So who wins the Federated Auto Parts 400 2021? And which enormous long shot stuns NASCAR? ... Join SportsLine right now to see Micah Roberts' full projected leaderboard for the Federated Auto Parts 400, all from the nation's premier NASCAR betting expert!
