Kyle Larson’s phenomenal 2021 continues, as he won the NASCAR All-Star Race on Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway. Larson made his move with eight laps to go, as he and Brad Keselowski, who would finish second, split Chase Elliott’s car to push forward. Larson got to the front of the field, and Keselowski could do nothing more than get up to Larson’s bumper. The race had six segments and ran 100 laps. Can Larson pull off yet another win this week as the Cup Series moves to Nashville Superspeedway?
Let’s take a look at the online NASCAR betting odds for the field as well as our suggestions for your wager cards.

Kyle Larson led 264 laps at Dover, with an average running position of first place, which is not something that happens often at all. If Nashville Superspeedway turns out to run like Dover, then Larson could keep his dominance going.
Denny Hamlin led the Richmond race for 208 laps, although Phoenix, Darlington and Dover may provide better reference points for the experience at Nashville. When you combine results from all four of those tracks, Hamlin emerges with the best overall average in this field.
Martin Truex Jr has three wins on low downforce, high horsepower tracks this year. He looked ready to take the win at Richmond, but in Stage 3, a pit penalty taking place under green kept him from contending — although he did manage to remain in the lead lap somehow.
Kyle Busch won the Nashville race and then broke the “guitar” awarded him as a trophy, which caused him to spend a week singing the praises of Gibson guitars. He won this race 10 years ago, but he has not had much to show for things at this track since then.
Joey Logano averaged more laps in the top five when racing in this package last year than any other driver, and so far in 2021 he has kept that trend going. In this package, his average finish is sixth, making him an interesting value pick.
Alex Bowman won both Richmond and Dover, so he’s a smart pick no matter which track ends up resembling Nashville more. There were other drivers who had more speed, but he used a flawless pit and restart strategy to finish at the top each time.
William Byron has the second best average finish at the other high horsepower, low downforce tracks (Phoenix, Darlington, Dover and Richmond) in 2021.
Ryan Blaney is an expert when it comes to managing wear on his tires, although high horsepower tracks have not been a place he has done well this year. He won at Atlanta by managing tread wear, but the last three high horsepower races haven’t given him more than a pair of hog points.
Chase Elliott came in 12th at Richmond, but that track has caused him problems for years now. The other low downforce races in 2021 saw him finish second, third, fifth and seventh. Can he jump past the likes of Truex, Hamlin and Larson?
Brad Keselowski was a terrific high horsepower driver in 2020, but in 2021, his oval track average finish using this package has been 19th, and his overall average finish has been 13th. Is his career on the downturn now?
Kevin Harvick is having a tough 2021. If he swipes a race or two this year, that will have to be good enough, as he is not racing like a lap leader this year.
