Kyle Busch attempts to extend his streak of top-10 finishes to five when he competes in the 2023 Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway on Sunday. The two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion was runner-up at Sonoma two weeks ago after tying William Byron for most victories this season with his third in the previous race at World Wide Technology Raceway. Busch leads all drivers in 2023 with five top-two finishes and is first among active drivers with 11 Cup Series wins on concrete tracks.
Busch is listed at +750, while 2021 race winner Kyle Larson is the +500 favorite in the latest 2023 Ally 400 odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Martin Truex Jr. is +600, Denny Hamlin is +750, while Byron and Chase Elliott, who won this race last year, round out the top 2023 Ally 400 contenders at +800. The Ally 400 2023 is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. ET. You'll want to check out the NASCAR at Nashville predictions from Micah Roberts, the legendary Vegas bookmaker who pioneered wagering on racing, before locking in any 2023 Ally 400 picks.
Roberts was the first to offer expanded NASCAR betting and now hands out NASCAR winners to his followers on SportsLine. Roberts is the nation's premier NASCAR betting expert, and his top pick, Larson, won the NASCAR All-Star Race last month at +650. He also nailed the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix winner in March by hitting Tyler Reddick's victory at +1000.
In addition, the expert correctly predicted Elliott to win the YellaWood 500 at +1200 last October and the Jockey Made in America 250 in 2021, nailed the 2021 Coca-Cola 600 winner by hitting Larson's victory at +550 and was on point by targeting Elliott as the winner of the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix at +160 the previous week. Anyone who has followed his picks has cashed ticket after ticket.
Now, Roberts has analyzed the field and odds for Sunday's NASCAR at Nashville 2023 race. He's only sharing his winner and leaderboard right here.
2023 Ally 400 expert picks
One shocker: Roberts is fading Busch, even though he is one of the favorites at +750. In fact, Roberts says Busch, who is tied for first with nine top-10 finishes this season -- including a victory and a runner-up in his last two starts, barely even cracks the top 15 at Nashville.
"He led 54 laps in the Cup Series race there last season but finished 21st and was 11th in 2021 after leading 10 laps," Roberts told SportsLine. "With nine drivers priced at +1000 or lower, I had to remove a few from my wagering plan this week." You can see who else to fade here.
Another curveball: Roberts is high on Tyler Reddick, who is listed at +1600 in the latest Ally 400 odds. The 27-year-old Californian is hoping the week off helps him break out of a slump during which he has posted 35th and 33rd-place finishes. Reddick was in good form prior to the funk, recording top-10 finishes in seven of his previous 11 starts - including a win at Circuit of the Americas in late March.
"Reddick was 18th in each of the previous two races at Nashville, but that was with RCR," Roberts told SportsLine. "I expect Reddick to have his best career finish at Nashville on Sunday night." You can see who else to back here.
How to make 2023 Ally 400 predictions
Roberts is high on a longshot whom he expects to "let loose and go hard for the win." This driver is being underestimated by oddsmakers, and anyone who backs him could hit it big. You can only see who it is here.
