Byron vs. Harvick Prediction on April 2, 2023

Match info

For the men’s stock car event, the NASCAR Cup Series Toyota Owners 400 in Richmond, Virginia, which begins on Sunday, April 2, at 3:30 PM local time, Bookmaker-Expert offers its best analysis and bet recommendations, with the assistance of the odds presented by online bookies with top deposit bonuses. The annual race, which is a part of the NASCAR Cup Series, the top racing series of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR), is to be held at Richmond Raceway.

Meeting statistics

This Sunday, NASCAR returns to an oval. The second official race in the new low-downforce short-track package will take place on Richmond’s small, flat track. The new racing package has a promise for variation, but Richmond is frequently exceedingly chalky.

During Circuit of The Americas last Sunday, tempers flared up during the three extra periods. William Byron and Tyler Reddick, the race winner, politely competed for the lead throughout the majority of the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix. But once the event hit overtime, the respect was over. In the end, Daniel Suárez pursued Alex Bowman, but he probably ought to have also approached Ross Chastain. Suárez might be suspended by NASCAR’s disciplinary committee. Chastain was the focus of Kyle Busch, but that’s nothing new. Will Richmond Raceway’s heated exchanges continue?

In view of the Richmond race, it’s questionable whether will 23XI Racing continue to support a struggling Bubba Wallace, as he suggested after making another “rookie” error, or they will “replace” him.

Road courses are known for producing competitive drivers like AJ Allmendinger. He wasn’t at COTA because of a crash on Lap 60 that caused him to leave the mountainous, winding track. The driver for Kaulig Racing will try to improve at Richmond's short track after finishing in 34th.

The irritation level of Brad Keselowski is rising. In COTA, the co-owner and racer for RFK Racing experienced numerous spin-outs and was once more unable to compete. He parked his car after 56 laps due to engine issues. Will he shock everyone at Richmond? Well, on September 2020, he triumphed there. Always believe the spreadsheet, but also believe what you see. Here are the biggest favorites for that race.

Kevin Harvick

This is really simple to understand. At Richmond’s spring 2022 race, Harvick came very close to winning. He did triumph in Richmond’s fall race. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver was leading the first race with the low-downforce Gen 7 car after the Phoenix race and was seemingly headed for a comfortable victory when a late-race yellow came out. The SHR Fords were still very competitive at the short, flat tracks in 2021, despite Harvick’s difficulties.

William Byron

This season’s most reliable pilot for the series is Byron, who has two victories and three top-five finishes. He led for 28 laps during most of the race at COTA on Sunday against Tyler Reddick. However, in the final overtime, he reverted to position P5. At Richmond, bet on Hendrick Motorsports’ racer to once again run with the front group.

Kyle Larson

Larson is without luck. He was driving the fastest car in Fontana with his Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 but a mechanical problem wrecked his day. At Las Vegas and Phoenix, the Hendrick Motorsports racer had the fastest car, but late-race restarts weren’t in his favor. Bubba Wallace collided with him last week. Larson accumulated 52 fast lap points between Fontana and Phoenix. William Byron is the next closest driver, with 49. Ross Chastain and Denny Hamlin finished third with only 16 fast lap points. This season, the brand-new low-downforce package will be used a second time. Larson was the only driver to complete 316 of 316 laps inside the top 5 in its official debut at Phoenix.

Christopher Bell

Richmond is frequently a lap-turner on the green. The favorites are favored. Bell was a star in the Xfinity Series at Richmond, and he came very close to winning the Cup Series race there last fall. This is one of his greatest tracks, and he’s one of the top short-track racers in the business. Bell completed 72% of the race in Phoenix by finishing among the top 5 (third-most).

Match analytics

Harvick and Byron are close as designated favorites by bookies to win the Richmond race. We’d suggest trying your luck in placing wagers on the latter for which BetOnline set odds of 6.00.
