2024 Richmond NASCAR odds, lineup, predictions, start time: Model reveals surprising Cook Out 400 picks

Kyle Larson became the first driver of the season to reach four wins after taking the checkered flag in the Brickyard 400 last month. After enjoying two weeks off, he'll try to extend his lead in the NASCAR standings on Sunday. The 2024 Cook Out 400 at Richmond Raceway will mark the return of the NASCAR Cup Series after a summer break and there are only four events remaining in the regular season. Larson has a 10-point lead over teammate Chase Elliott in the points race with Tyler Reddick lingering just five points behind Elliott. Larson is 13-2 in the 2024 Cook Out 400 odds, while Elliott is 14-1 and Reddick is 18-1.
Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell are the 4-1 co-favorites in the 2024 NASCAR at Richmond odds and the green flag drops at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday. Before making any 2024 NASCAR at Richmond predictions, entering any NASCAR DFS lineups on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, or locking in NASCAR prop picks on sites like PrizePicks and Underdog Fantasy, be sure to see the latest 2024 Cook Out 400 picks from SportsLine's proven projection model .
Developed by daily Fantasy pro and SportsLine predictive data engineer Mike McClure, this proprietary NASCAR prediction model simulates every race 10,000 times, taking into account factors such as track history and recent results.
It called its first winner of the 2024 season with Kyle Larson in Las Vegas for a 21-5 payout and predicted Denny Hamlin's wins in Bristol at 5-1 and Richmond at 17-4. It also impressively nailed five of Larson's wins during his historic season in 2021. All told, the model has nailed a whopping 18 winners since 2021, including nine last year and three in the first seven races this season. Anyone who followed its lead on those NASCAR picks saw huge returns.
For the second 2024 NASCAR at Richmond race, the model is high on Ty Gibbs, even though he's a 20-1 longshot in the latest 2024 Cook Out 400 odds. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. The 21-year-old is the grandson of team owner Joe Gibbs and he's been pegged for stardom for years, winning 12 times in the NASCAR Xfinity Series over the last three seasons and piling up 18 ARCA Menards Series wins before that.
Gibbs was the NASCAR Cup Series Rookie of the Year in 2023 after piling up 10 top-10 finishes and finishing 18th in the standings. Now he's up to 11th in the standings and has already been top 10 on nine occasions over the first 22 races. Gibbs is currently 42 points clear of the NASCAR playoff bubble but he'll be eager for a strong finish in Richmond and possibly even a win to lock up his postseason spot.
Another massive shocker: Christopher Bell, one of the Vegas co-favorites at 4-1, barely cracks the top five. There are far better values in the 2024 NASCAR Richmond starting lineup. Bell is coming off back-to-back seasons where he's made the season finale with a shot at the NASCAR Cup Series championship and he's piled up three wins already this season.
