Kyle Busch is the odds-on-betting-favorite Sunday as he goes for a tripleheader sweep at Texas Motor Speedway. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver qualified 16th for today's race (3 p.m. ET, FOX, PRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio), but enters the O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 having won the NASCAR Gander Outdoors Truck Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series races already this weekend. Busch is listed at 3-1 odds, slightly better than his opening line of 7-2. The "3-1" simply meaning if a bettor places a $100 bet on Busch to win, he or she would win $300 (plus his initial $300 back) should "Rowdy" repeat his 2018 victory today.

Other betting notes: The biggest movers on the board belong to Hendrick Motorsports. William Byron, at 125-1 on the opening line, is now 50-1 after qualifying second. Seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson is listed at 12-1 Sunday morning after opening at 28-1. Johnson led the opening practice session at the 1.5-mile quad oval and won the Busch Pole Award. Two of Busch's Joe Gibbs Racing teammates have slipped down the board. Erik Jones is posted at 22-1 (he opened at 16-1) and Martin Truex Jr. is 11-1 (he opened at 7-1).
