Event Preview
The huge action on the NASCAR Cup Series continues this weekend, as EchoPark Speedway hosts the Autotrader 400. This weekend’s race will cover a total of 260 laps, with the field completing a distance of 400.4 miles.
Fans will be hoping for another enthralling contest following a gripping renewal of the Daytona 500 last time out. Ultimately, it was Tyler Reddick who claimed victory, making a final-lap overtake to take the win. Joey Logano finished third, while Ricky Stenhouse Jr once again delivered an excellent drive to take second.
Chase Elliott has an excellent record at EchoPark Speedway, winning twice at the venue since 2020. Elliott enjoyed a fine run in the opening Classic of the season last time, before eventually finishing fourth. However, his form this season has already been eye-catching after landing the America 250 Duel 2 last week.
Kyle Larson will also have strong claims despite a frustrating Daytona 500. The reigning Cup Series champion eventually finished 16th in the overall standings.
Autotrader 400 Picks
This weekend’s race could set the tone for the season ahead, and plenty will have leading chances. However, Elliott’s form at the start of the new season has been reliable, and his record at the track could ensure that he is the value play at the odds available.
