The NASCAR Cup Series returns to the track following a two-week break for the Olympics, with the 2024 Cook Out 400 set for 6 p.m. ET on Sunday at Richmond Raceway. This is a historic race for NASCAR since Richmond will feature a two-tire option for every driver. Teams can choose between a “Prime” tire that has less grip and more longevity or an “Option” tire that has more grip but less longevity. Tire management will play a critical role in the outcome of Sunday’s NASCAR at Richmond race, so which drivers should you back with your 2024 Cook Out 400 prediction?
Denny Hamlin won the first race at Richmond this season and will be on the pole Sunday. Accordingly, he is a 4-1 co-favorite with Christopher Bell in the 2024 Cook Out 400 odds. Hamlin has five career wins at Richmond, and all three of his wins this season have come on short tracks. Before entering any 2024 Cook Out 400 props or NASCAR predictions on sites like PrizePicks, DraftKings Pick6, Sleeper Fantasy, and Underdog Fantasy, you need to see what elite expert auto racing handicappers Phil Bobbitt and Steve Greco have to say.
Bobbitt and Greco built a predictive engine that consistently beats the books. They find huge value and aren’t afraid of volume. Over the past three years, their followers are up more than $26,100 on $100 plays.

The duo began 2024 by calling Hamlin to win the Clash at the Coliseum at +1100 and hit on three of its four top-five wagers. Three weeks later at Atlanta, they predicted Daniel Suarez’s victory at +3500 and were 10-2 on matchup plays. They went 9-3 on head-to-head plays in the Toyota Owners 400 in March, going +13.58 units in that article alone. Their 2024 NASCAR All-Star Race preview nailed Joey Logano at +1100 and went 4-0 in matchup picks, and they hit Austin Cindric at +2800 in the Enjoy Illinois 300. Anyone following Bobbitt and Greco has seen huge returns.

2024 Cook Out 400 prop picks
One of Bobbitt and Greco’s top NASCAR bets: They are backing Joey Logano to finish ahead of Chase Elliott in a head-to-head prop that pays -120. While Elliott (No. 2) ranks drastically higher than Logano (No. 15) in the current Cup Series standings, there are multiple factors that point to Logano in this prop. The two-time Cup Series champion picked up his first win of the season at Nashville Superspeedway at the end of June and added a fifth-place finish at Pocono Raceway two races ago.
Logano also won the All-Star Race with the “Option” tires in play, so he is comfortable with the unique dynamic that they present. Meanwhile, Elliott has finished ninth or worse in his last five races, failing to crack the top 15 in three of those races. Logano (6.3) has a better average finishing position than Elliott (8.8) at Richmond, another reason why Bobbitt and Greco are targeting Logano on Sunday.
