Tyler Reddick will attempt to continue his surge when he gets behind the wheel for the 2023 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix on Sunday at Circuit of the Americas in Austin on Sunday. The 27-year-old was 15th or worse in his first three starts of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season, but then finished third at Phoenix and fifth last weekend at Atlanta. Reddick owns the best average finish on road courses among active drivers at 12.93 in 15 starts and is one of four with top-10s in the first two NASCAR at COTA races.

Reddick is +1000, while Kyle Larson is the +650 favorite in the latest 2023 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Kyle Busch and Ross Chastain, who won this race last year, are +800, while William Byron and A.J. Allmendinger round out the top 2023 NASCAR at Austin contenders at +1200. The EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix 2023 is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. ET. You'll want to check out the NASCAR at Austin predictions from Micah Roberts, the legendary Vegas bookmaker who pioneered wagering on racing, before locking in any 2023 EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix 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, Chase Elliott, won the YellaWood 500 last October at +1200 odds.

He also correctly predicted Elliott to win the Jockey Made in America 250 in 2021, nailed the 2021 Coca-Cola 600 winner by hitting Larson's victory at +550 odds and was on point by targeting Elliott as the winner of the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix at +160 odds the previous week. Anyone who has followed his picks has cashed tickets.

Now, Roberts has analyzed the field and odds for Sunday's NASCAR at Austin 2023 race. He's sharing his winner and projected 2023 EchoPark Automative Grand Prix leaderboard right here.

One shocker: Roberts is fading Kyle Larson, even though he is the 2023 NASCAR at Austin favorite at 13-2. In fact, Roberts says Larson, who recorded the most road-course wins in a Cup Series season with three in 2021, doesn't even crack the top 10.

"His statistics say he's one of the best road-course drivers in NASCAR," Roberts told SportsLine. "But he experienced a lot of car failures for multiple reasons last year, finishing 29th, 15th and 35th twice." See who else to fade here.

Another curveball: Roberts is high on Austin Cindric, even though he is a long shot at 30-1 in the latest NASCAR at Austin odds 2023. Since taking the checkered flag in the season-opening Daytona 500 last year for his first Cup Series victory, the 24-year-old has posted only nine top-10 finishes in 40 starts. Cindric has performed well on road courses over his career, however, recording five top-10s in nine Cup Series outings and 16, including five victories, in 20 Xfinity Series starts. The 2022 Cup Series Rookie of the Year led a total of 15 laps in his first two starts at COTA and finished eighth in last year's event.

"Road courses are why he's in NASCAR," Roberts told SportsLine. "Roads are where Cindric earns his money. He proved it in the Xfinity Series with five wins on the courses." See who else to back here.

Roberts is high on a huge longshot who was in the top 10 in his last five road races of 2022. This driver is being underestimated by oddsmakers, and anyone who backs him could hit it big. You can only see who it is here.
