Top NASCAR Pick6 Picks for the South Point 400
Denny Hamlin | Finishing Position: 3.5
Pick6 Play: Better
The No. 11 JGR Toyota starts on the pole Sunday. It’s the same spot he started from when he won here last fall. His last two races at this track both ended in victory. Hamlin has four wins this season (five counting the Dover All-Star Race). Three of the races were in a row, but in June. That was a long time ago, but four of his five wins came at intermediate tracks. Hamlin started sixth and finished third at Kansas last week. He’s second in the Chase standings. Only Hamlin holds back Larson in a lap turner in Las Vegas.
Kyle Larson | Finishing Position: 3.5
Pick6 Play: Better
A win at Kansas last week stretched his points lead to 26. Both of his wins this season have come in the Chase (Gateway and Kansas). Larson is locked in and Hendrick is hitting on all cylinders. Las Vegas has been kind to Yung Money as well. That’s an understatement. Similar to last week at Kansas, Larson is the all-time lap leader in Sin City. Larson won at Vegas in 2024, 2023 and 2021. He was a runner-up last fall and led 62 laps in this spring’s race. Four of his last five starts at this track have ended in the top 10. Fade Larson at your own risk.
