Event Preview

The EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix is one of the newest races on the NASCAR Cup Series, and it will be staged for the fifth time this weekend.

Drivers will complete a total of 95 laps, with the first stage consisting of 20 laps, before 45 and 30 laps are contested in the second stage and final stage, respectively.

There is already a wide-open feel to the Cup Series this year, with Ryan Blaney holding a slender advantage at this early stage. Blaney finished last weekend’s Ambetter Health 400 in fourth.

Christopher Bell was the slight shock winner of the race last weekend, with Joey Logano leading for the most laps, and A J Allmendinger claiming the fastest lap.

William Byron looks like a solid contender once again this weekend, despite failing to back up his Daytona 500 win after claiming 27th in the Ambetter Health 400 last weekend.

Kyle Larson looked back to his best last weekend after finishing third. However, Larson is yet to claim victory at the COTA, and that could be a concern.

EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix Picks

An unpredictable race is likely this weekend. Qualifying could be essential for this race.

However, William Byron’s dominance at the track last year makes him a very solid contender if he is able to replicate the pace that he showed.
