NASCAR continues its journey West as the action moves from Texas to Phoenix this week for the 2026 Straight Talk Wireless 500 at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale, Ariz. Tyler Reddick is off to a dominant start to the season, winning all three races thus far. He showed his versatility last week, winning at a road course after his first two victories came on speedways. Despite that red-hot start, Reddick is +1600 in the 2026 Straight Talk Wireless 500 odds via FanDuel Sportsbook.

Ryan Blaney is the favorite at +380, followed by pole-sitter Joey Logano (+500), Kyle Larson (+750) and Christopher Bell (+850) on the NASCAR at Phoenix odds board. The race begins at 3:30 p.m. ET on Sunday.

2026 NASCAR at Phoenix predictions

For NASCAR at Phoenix 2026, McClure is not picking Reddick, who has won the first three races of the season, saying he doesn't even finish in the top 5. One more win would tie Reddick for the modern record of most consecutive NASCAR races won, but his track history at Phoenix is concerning. He has just two top-five finishes at Phoenix in his 12 career races, and he finished 20th and 26th in the two Phoenix races last year. He'll start in eighth this year. 

Another surprise: Chase Elliott, a +2500 longshot, makes a strong run this week. He's a driver to target if you're looking for a big payout. Elliott has 11 top-10 finishes at Phoenix in his career, including a win in 2020. His average finish position this year is 7.3, so even though he's starting in 26th on Sunday, he's shown the speed to move towards the top of the leaderboard. See which other drivers the model is backing at SportsLine.
