The first street race in the history of the NASCAR Cup Series will take place on Sunday (5:05 p.m. ET) with the 2023 Grant Park 220 in Chicago. There is plenty of uncertainty surrounding this unique race, which has left road-course experts Chase Elliott and Tyler Reddick atop the NASCAR odds board. Elliott is the 11-2 favorite in the 2023 Grant Park 220 odds at Caesars Sportsbook, while Reddick is 13-2. Elliott is winless this season, but he has won three inaugural races since 2020, which all came on road courses.

Reddick has been outstanding on road courses as well, but he has not finished inside the top 30 in his last three races. Should you be fading him with your 2023 Grant Park 220 bets? Before scouring the 2023 NASCAR at Chicago starting lineup and making any 2023 Grant Park 220 predictions, be sure to see the latest 2023 NASCAR at Chicago picks from elite auto racing handicappers Phil Bobbitt and Steve Greco.

Bobbitt and Greco built a predictive engine that consistently beats the books. They find huge value and aren't afraid of volume. Over the past two years, their followers are up nearly $23,000 on $100 plays. In fact, Bobbitt and Greco have nailed 14 outright NASCAR winners each of the past two years.

Last season, they called 150-1 longshot Chris Buescher winning at Bristol Motor Speedway and Erik Jones winning at Darlington at 60-1. Earlier this season, they nailed Kyle Busch as the outright winner in Fontana for an 11-1 payout, and then they pegged Truex Jr. as the 12-1 winner at Dover. Anybody following them has seen huge returns.

Now, Bobbitt and Greco have analyzed the field and odds for Sunday's NASCAR at Chicago 2023 race. They're sharing their NASCAR best bets at SportsLine.

2023 NASCAR at Chicago expert picks

One of Bobbitt and Greco's top 2023 Grant Park 220 prop bets: They are backing AJ Allmendinger to finish ahead of Kyle Busch at -114 odds. Allmendinger led Kaulig Racing to a Xfinity Series win at Nashville last week, claiming his first oval race victory of the season in double overtime. He is one of the few drivers in the Cup Series who has driven on a street circuit before, so he knows how to maneuver this type of course.

Allmendinger has the third most average fast laps at road courses since the Next-Gen car was introduced, and he has the fourth best average finishing position in that same data set. Busch has finished second in both road course races this season, but he ranks behind Allmendinger in the Next-Gen road course stats. Bobbitt and Greco think Busch would need a near-perfect performance to finish ahead of Allmendinger on Sunday, making this a profitable head-to-head prop. See what other NASCAR picks they like at SportsLine.
