Top Goodyear 400 Predictions for 2023

One surprise: The model is high on Chase Elliott, even though he has an unlikely odds of 14-1 in the last NASCAR 2023 at Darlington. It’s a go-to for anyone looking for a big payday. The 27-year-old missed six weeks after suffering an injury in a skiing accident, but has shown glimpses of returning to his form as the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series champion.

Elliott has finished 12th or better in his four races since returning from injury and is coming off seventh in the AdventHealth 400 last week. The 18-time winner has also had recent success at Darlington, finishing fifth and seventh in his last two spring races. But Elliott is still chasing his first win at Darlington. At 14-1 in NASCAR at Darlington, he might have value in a top driver at a price like that to record his first win at the track. See who else to endorse on SportsLine.

And a big surprise: Tyler Reddick, a Las Vegas favorite at 17-2, stumbles big and barely cracks the top five. The 2020 NASCAR Rookie of the Year runner-up earned his first playoff appearance in 2021 and then had a three-win season in 2022.

However, he finished 14th in the standings last year after a disappointing start to the postseason that included a 35th-place finish at Kansas and a 25th-place finish at Bristol. Reddick finishes sixth this weekend, but his average finish has been 16th in his last four starts and he hasn’t led a lap in three of those four races.
