Denny Hamlin hopes to pull even with Kyle Busch and Joey Logano for most NASCAR Cup Series wins at Phoenix Raceway among active drivers when he competes in the 2024 Shriners Children's 500 on Sunday. Hamlin has captured two checkered flags in 37 series starts at Phoenix, winning this race in 2012 and the penultimate event of the 2019 season. A triumph on Sunday would tie him with Busch, Logano and Dale Earnhardt Jr. for the third-most career Cup Series victories at the track. The 43-year-old Hamlin has posted top-10 finishes in 22 of his 37 starts at Phoenix and five of the last seven. He also has registered 16 top-fives at the dogleg oval and has a 10.8 average finish there.
Sunday's 2024 NASCAR at Phoenix race is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. ET. Hamlin is 8-1 and Kyle Larson is the 11-2 favorite in the latest 2024 Shriners Children's 500 odds. Reigning Cup Series champion Ryan Blaney is 7-1 and William Byron, who won this race last year, is 15-2. Christopher Bell and Ross Chastain round out the top six 2024 NASCAR at Phoenix contenders at 10-1.

2024 Shriners Children's 500 expert picks
One of Bobbitt and Greco's top NASCAR bets: They are backing Ty Gibbs to post a top-10 finish in the 2024 Shriners Children's 500. Gibbs registered 12 victories in 59 career starts in the Xfinity Series but has yet to make his way to Victory Lane in 54 Cup Series races. The 21-year-old posted one top-10 in 15 outings in 2022 but had 10 in 36 starts en route to earning Rookie of the Year honors last season.
Gibbs has been 10th or better in two of this year's three races thus far, finishing 10th at Atlanta on Feb. 25 before placing fifth last weekend at Las Vegas. The grandson of team owner Joe Gibbs was unable to crack the top 20 in his two Cup Series starts at Phoenix last season but enjoyed success there while in the Xfinity Series. He was runner-up in his lone outing at the track during his 2021 Rookie of the Year campaign and finished sixth in March 2022 before capturing the checkered flag and the series championship eight months later.
