Vegas next week
@BigJay
First impressions?
First impressions is Larson is running in the O’Reilly’s series in the #88 JR Motor Sports Car.
It wasn’t really a winning car last weekend at Phoenix even with Byron driving it. Was more a top-5 car at best. Larson will, however, obviously be a short-price fave at Vegas in the O’Reilly’s Series.
My man Allgaier, last week’s winner in Phoenix, is the defending race champ in O’Reilly’s Vegas and will be second fave again behind Larson.
Larson has the most recent success in Vegas Sunday Cup with two wins and four top fives in the past six races. Byron and Hamlin also solid. And yes Logano has won four total races in Vegas (2019, 2020, 2022 and 2024 - in either the spring or fall).
So I may have to fade my own fade Larson philosophy at Vegas.
But lightning struck last spring when Josh Berry won his first career Cup race in Vegas at long odds.
I’ll start to dig deeper later in the week.
