Chase Elliott and Martin Truex Jr. will try to continue their success on road courses on Sunday when the green flag drops on the 2020 Go Bowling 235 at the Daytona International Speedway Road Course. In the last 10 NASCAR Cup Series races on road courses (Charlotte Roval, Sonoma and Watkins Glen), Elliott and Truex lead all drivers with three wins apiece. Ryan Blaney, Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick have one win each in that span.
Elliott and Truex are 4-1 co-favorites in the current 2020 Go Bowling 235 odds from William Hill. They are followed by Harvick (6-1), Hamlin (13-2) and Kyle Busch (13-2) in the 2020 Go Bowling 235 starting grid, and the green flag drops at 3 p.m. ET. With drivers unable to practice or qualify before the race on Sunday and most drivers having never raced on the course, you'll want to check out the Go Bowling 235 predictions from SportsLine's Micah Roberts, the legendary Vegas bookmaker who pioneered wagering on racing, before locking in any 2020 Go Bowling 235 picks of your own.
Roberts is the nation's premier NASCAR betting expert, and his top pick won the first two races of the 2020 season. In the season-opening Daytona 500, he nailed Denny Hamlin's win at 10-1 odds, and he hit eventual winner Joey Logano at 13-2 odds in the Pennzoil 400 a week later. He also nailed Hamlin's victory in the Toyota 500 in May, even though he wasn't one of the top three favorites.
Roberts also crushed the 2019 NASCAR season. Those who wagered $100 on his predicted winner in each of the 40 NASCAR races last year (an investment of $4,000) finished with a strong profit of $2,100.
In addition, those who put down $50 on each of Roberts' top four picks in those races (an investment of $8,000) were up a head-turning $3,400. Anyone who has followed his NASCAR picks is up huge year after year.
Now, Roberts has analyzed the field and odds for Sunday's Go Bowling 235. He's sharing his winner and leaderboard only at SportsLine.
2020 NASCAR at Daytona expert predictions
One shocker: Roberts is fading Harvick, even though he's one of the top favorites at 6-1 behind only Elliott and Truex. The Cup Series leader has six wins, 15 top-fives and 19 top-10 finishes this season. He is coming off back-to-back wins last weekend at Michigan International Speedway.
"With six wins on the season, Harvick should be a logical bet, but I'm not backing him because of the low price and also because none of his wins this season came using this week's race package," Roberts told SportsLine.
Another curveball: Roberts is high on Brad Keselowski, a massive 13-1 long shot. He's a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Keselowski has three wins, nine top-fives and 16 top-10s this season. He sits in second in the NASCAR standings.
"Keselowski has never won on a road course but has been runner-up three times," Roberts told SportsLine. "I will have a bet on him this week because of his attractive odds and, most of all, because of the race package being used. He's won two of the five races this season using the package featuring engines with 750 horsepower."
How to make 2020 NASCAR at Daytona picks
Roberts also is high on a double-digit underdog who is "a strong road course driver." This driver is being underestimated by oddsmakers, and anyone who backs him could hit it big. You can only see who it is here.
