Event Preview

The NASCAR action rolls on this weekend, as Dover Motor Speedway hosts the Wurth 400. This race has been a part of the Cup Series calendar since 1969, with drivers completing 400 miles. The first two stages are both made up of 120 laps apiece, while the final stage will see the final 160 laps contested.

Chase Elliott landed victory in the race for the first time last year, which was also the second straight year that Hendrick Motorsports had claimed victory. Elliott comes into this race after finishing 12th in the GEICO 500 last weekend, and could be a solid contender to claim the race win on Sunday.

Kyle Larson heads the betting for the race this weekend, as he sits fourth in the Drivers’ Standings. He finished down in 33rd in the GEICO 500 last weekend, but he has still won two from his previous four starts. A renewed effort is likely this weekend, as he chases a first career victory in the Wurth 400.

Alex Bowman may be a serious contender at a bigger price, as he looks for a second victory in three years in the Wurth 400. Bowman is yet to win a race this season, but he has finished in the top ten on six occasions already this term.


NASCAR 2023: Wurth 400 Prediction

Another thrilling round of NASCAR action is likely this weekend. It may be hard to look away from Kyle Larson. He endured a difficult weekend at the GEICO 500 last time out, but we expect him to get back on track with a dominant success in Dover on Sunday.
