Betting Insights for Würth 400
Hendrick Motorsports not only has the winningest driver of the Würth 400 ever with the now-Indycar driver Jimmie Johnson but is also the winningest race team ever for this race with 11 wins. Alex Bowman claimed victory here in 2021 in a historic win for Hendrick Motorsports as the team claimed the top four spots at the finish line with Bowman winning, followed by Kyle Larson, Chase Elliott, and William Byron. This was the first time this feat had been accomplished since Roush Racing did it in 2005 at the Ford 400.
Before 2021, Joe Gibbs Racing had won three of the previous five races, each with a different driver behind the wheel of a JGR Toyota.
Defending NASCAR Cup Series champion, Kyle Larson, won the first two stages in 2021 before Bowman took the lead late and pulled away for the victory. Larson led for 263 of the 400 laps after qualifying to start in the fourth position.

How To Read NASCAR Betting Odds
Before you bet on a NASCAR race, there are different ways to bet on NASCAR races. Futures bets, where you place a wager on a result to be determined later such as “who will win the cup series”. Then, there are weekly wagers on who will win the race or driver match-ups where you wager on which driver will place ahead of the other.
When wagering on NASCAR, you might notice the favorite will almost always have a plus sign next to their odds. In other sports, the favorite is usually shown with a minus sign next to the odds. If the favorite has a minus sign such as -120, you have to wager that number to profit $100. As an example, you have to bet $120 to win $220, a profit of $100. If the race favorite has a plus sign next to his name, like +120, then that is what you would profit by betting $100.
Futures Betting
Futures bets are a type of prop bet which entails betting on the future results of a certain driver or team. Common examples could be; will Ryan Blaney repeat as the NASCAR Cup Champion? Or which race team will finish with the most wins in 2024?
History of Würth 400 race
Hendrick Motorsports has the most race wins all-time here with 11 with their first one coming since 2017 just last year as Alex Bowman brought it home for Hendrick, followed by his three teammates in a 1, 2, 3, 4 finish not seen in NASCAR since 2005 in the Homestead Ford 400. This re-established Chevrolet’s grip as the dominant manufacturer at Dover.
Toyota had been making a bid for the new king of Dover with consecutive wins in 2019 and 2020 with Joe Gibbs Racing as well as holding three of the four fastest races ever held at Dover Motor Speedway.
Since its opening in 1969, there have been many drivers with multiple victories at the Monster Mile, but only two active drivers can claim that, Kyle Busch (2008, 2010) and Martin Truex, Jr. (2007 and 2019). Only the 2007 race won by Truex, Jr. was not in a Toyota as he was racing with Dale Earnhardt Inc. at the time.

NASCAR Würth 400 Betting tips
Each week you can wager on which driver will win that week’s race. Also, many sportsbooks will allow you to be a little more cautious and choose whether a driver will finish in the top three, top five, or other options.
Picking a racer to win a race is a risky task as there are crashes, car failures, and even problems on pit road. To get beyond that and run the perfect race over all the other drivers is very difficult indeed and that’s why the odds have a good value of +300 (3:1) or more for the favorite of each race and then higher odds for all other drivers following. It’s not unusual to win with a driver that pays +1000 (10:1) on any given race as the level of difficulty to win is so high.
Head-to-head matchups allow bettors to focus on a certain head-to-head battle between two racers, rather than the more general wager of winning the race. These matchups are typically between two drivers or a group of four drivers. Bettors select which driver will have a better result in the race.
NASCAR prop bets are when you wager on specific racing scenarios that may occur. Examples of this could be; how many caution flags will be thrown? Which manufacturer will win the race? The number of crashes in a race. And the list goes on. A fun way to enjoy the market and get away from the seriousness of winning the race.
