NASCAR Cup Series Opener's Betting Prospects Kick Off with Shane Van Gisbergen
In the upcoming NASCAR Cup Series race, the Toyota Save Mart 350, taking place at the Sonoma Raceway, Shane van Gisbergen is the clear favourite among bettors. This comes after the New Zealander's impressive performance in both NASCAR road races this season, including a dominating victory in the Viva Mexico 250 with a 16.567 second margin and leading for 26 laps.
The Toyota Save Mart 350, a road-style race with a unique course, is the next event on the Cup Series schedule. Shane van Gisbergen is the only driver at the top of the odds board on NASCAR betting sites, with odds of approximately +125[1].
Kyle Larson, despite having the second shortest odds to win the Toyota Save Mart 350, has struggled in previous road races. His performance in the last two road races, the Viva Mexico 250 and the Grant Park 165, has been less than impressive, with finishes in 13th place last week in Chicago and 36th in Mexico, and not leading for a single lap in either race.
Other top contenders for the Toyota Save Mart 350 include Ty Gibbs, Michael McDowell, William Byron, and Chris Buescher. While their odds are higher than Shane van Gisbergen's, they still present potential value picks. Christopher Bell, with odds of +1800, is considered a good sleeper pick due to his solid road course record[3][5]. Ty Gibbs, who has been strong recently on road courses, also offers competitive odds of +1100[3][5]. Michael McDowell and William Byron have odds around +1100 and +1200, respectively[1].
Bettors are advised to exercise caution when considering backing Kyle Larson to win the Toyota Save Mart 350, as his odds are considered full of smoke. However, with Shane van Gisbergen's consistent performance and the unique challenges of the Sonoma Raceway, he remains the clear favourite for the 2025 Toyota Save Mart 350 NASCAR Cup Series race.
