EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix 2023 Betting Preview
23 March 2023
The EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix is now the new name of the Texas Grand Prix, and it’s always a big race on the NASCAR circuit. The EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix is set to take place this weekend, and that presents a number of great betting opportunities.
This is a road course, and so that means that it will play out a bit differently than some of the other races that take place throughout the year. Sunday, March 26th, is the date on which this event will be held, and nearly all of the top drivers in the world are set to start their engines.
Here is a look at some of the betting odds for this event, and a Dunkel pick and prediction is included.
Loaded Group of Favorites
Since this is going to be a race that is run on a road course, the betting favorites might be a bit different. Driving on the road is a bit different than driving on a normal race course, but oddsmakers still give the nod to some of the best overall drivers.
Here is a look at the betting favorites to win the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix this weekend:
- Kyle Larson +650
- Ross Chastain +800
- Kyle Busch +800
- Tyler Reddick +900
- William Byron +1,200
- A.J. Allmendinger +1,200
At this point, it’s pretty much a given that Kyle Larson and Kyle Busch are going to be among the group of leaders, regardless of the race or course. Those two drivers just continue to rack up the wins, or they are at least in the mix in most of the races.
It wouldn’t be a surprise to see any of this group of drivers come away with a win.
Contenders in the Mix
Just like with any NASCAR race, you have to take a close look at the group of contenders as well. Since nearly all of the best drivers are going to be taking on the track this weekend, that’s going to lead to a great battle.
Here are some of the top contenders this weekend and the odds that are attached with them:
- Ryan Blaney +1,500
- Daniel Suarez +1,500
- Christopher Bell +1,500
- Austin Cindric +1,500
- Alex Bowman +2,000
- Joey Logano +2,500
- Denny Hamlin +2,500
- Chase Briscoe +2,500
- Michael McDowell +3,000
- Martin Truex Jr. +3,000
- Kevin Harvick +3,000
- Chris Buescher +3,000
- Brad Keselowski +3,000
- Jordan Taylor +4,000
Hamlin Picks Up Victory
There might be some great drivers on the road course in Austin this weekend, but only one of them can come out on top. There is a loaded group of betting favorites, and backing any of those drivers wouldn’t be a terrible idea.
You wouldn’t be making a big mistake if you back any of the drivers from the group of favorites, but you should be looking further down the list. There might be a small surprise that earns the checkered flag this weekend, but it won’t be a huge surprise when you see the name.
Bet on Denny Hamlin +2500 to win the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix this weekend.
