NASCAR 2023: Preview and odds for Wurth 400 at Dover Motor Speedway

The Wurth 400 marks the 11th race of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season. The green flag is set to drop at 2:11 pm ET Sunday, April 30, at the Dover Motor Speedway.

A total of 36 drivers will be competing over 400 laps in this week’s Cup Series race. This will be the 54th annual Wurth 400 hosted by the Dover Motor Speedway in the history of the NASCAR Cup Series.

They are followed by Denny Hamlin 7-1, Christopher Bell 8-1, Kevin Harvick 10-1, and Martin Truex Jr. 10-1 in the top-five highest odds.

Kyle Busch, who won last week’s race at the Talladega Superspeedway and is now tied with Larson and Byron for multiple wins this season. Richard Childress Racing has the seventh-highest odds at 14-1 to win this weekend in Dover.
