Catch Up on the Latest Results from Ambetter Health 400 race
Before we make a selection from our drivers on the Ambertter Health 400 odds, we need to review the Ambetter Health 400 race stats and recent results. There are six previous Cup Series winners in Atlanta in the field and among the betting favorites.
Kevin Harvick (+2300)
Stewart-Haas Racing-Ford’s Kevin Harvick (+2300) sits atop the NASCAR standings after four weeks and has won this race twice in 2018 and 2020. Harvicks alternated wins with RFK Racing-Ford’s Brad Keselowski (+2000), who won this race in 2017 and 2019.
William Byron (+900)
Last week’s winner, Hendrick Motorsports-Chevrolet’s William Byron (+900), looks to make it three straight Cup Series wins in 2023 and going back-to-back in Atlanta, having won this race in 2022.
Kyle Busch (+1000)
A pair of long-time fan and betting favorites, Richard Childress Racing’s Kyle Busch (+1000) and Joe Gibbs Racing-Toyota’s Denny Hamlin (+1200), have each won this race, with Busch winning in 2013 and Hamlin winning in 2012.
Ryan Blaney (+1200)
Team Penske-Ford’s Ryan Blaney (+1200) aims to follow a second-place finish at Phoenix with a second win in Atlanta, having won the 2021 edition.
Analysis of Top Performers and Strategies
Byron’s win at the 2022 Ambetter Health 400 ended a five-year streak of Ford machinery landing on victory road.
Although Fords traditionally run well in Atlanta, we’re not as hot on Joey Logano (+1200) this weekend, who only has one top-five finish this season. However, Logano is a driver you have to consider to win every weekend.
Hendrick Motorsports Kyle Larson (+900) is the betting favorite sitting atop the Ambetter Health 400 odds and is one of our picks to finish in the top five.
Other Contenders for a Top-Five Finish
We like Larson and Kevin Harvick to finish in the top five: Harvick has two fifth-place finishes, while Larson is overcoming a poor start to the season with two top-four finishes in the last two races.
Alex Bowman (+2000) is a sneaky pick to finish in the top five and win his first race of 2023. Bowman has finished in the top ten in all four races this season, with two top-five finishes.
Joe Gibbs Racing-Toyota’s Christopher Bell (+1400) is the only Toyota ride we’d be interested in betting on. Bell has finished in the top six in three of four races this season and is likely to compete for a top-five finish and potentially the race win in Atlanta.
NASCAR Cup Series: Ambetter Health 400 Betting Picks
If we are making one pick from the Ambetter Health 400 odds to win the race, we’re taking Kyle Larson to get his first win this season.
