EchoPark Grand Prix Best Bets_ Toyota is eyeing a hat-trick of victories in the NASCAR Cup Series as the action shifts to Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas this Sunday.
Leading the odds chart for the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix is Tyler Reddick (+450), with seven-time road course winner and 2021 COTA champion Chase Elliott closely trailing at (+700).
COTA has witnessed three different winners in as many years, with Reddick, Elliott, and Ross Chastain vying for their second victory at the track, while others aim for their maiden triumph in Austin.
Here are the drivers to watch and the bets I’m placing for the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at COTA, airing at 3:30 p.m. ET Sunday on FOX.
Best Bets:
To Win: Ty Gibbs (+1200, FanDuel)
At just 21 years old, Gibbs is on the cusp of clinching his first Cup Series victory. With four consecutive top-10 finishes under his belt, Gibbs displayed impressive speed at Bristol last week. Despite finishing ninth in his sole COTA start, Gibbs’ potential extends beyond that race. His performance in road courses last season, including the second-fastest car at Watkins Glen and the Charlotte Roval, sets a promising stage for his breakthrough win.
Tyler Reddick Top-3 Finish (+150, FanDuel)
While Reddick has experienced inconsistency this season, his prowess at COTA is undeniable. With a victory at last year’s race after leading 41 laps, Reddick has established himself as the driver to beat on the track type in the Next-Gen era. His speed rankings affirm his dominance on road courses, making a top-three finish a viable outcome for the talented driver.
AJ Allmendinger Top-5 Finish (+230, FanDuel)
Returning to a part-time schedule this year, Allmendinger remains a force to be reckoned with on road courses. Despite limited appearances, his three Cup Series victories, including last year’s race at the Charlotte Roval, underscore his expertise in this domain. While his COTA record may not reflect his capabilities accurately, Allmendinger has consistently showcased top-tier performance, positioning him as a contender for a top-five finish.
Alex Bowman Top-10 Finish (+150, bet365)
Bowman’s recent top-five finish at Bristol injects confidence as he heads to COTA, a track where he has excelled in the past. Despite not being renowned for road course racing, Bowman’s track record at COTA speaks volumes. With back-to-back top-three finishes and an eighth-place finish in 2021, Bowman has demonstrated his potential to contend at the front. Expect him to secure a top-10 finish and continue his success at the track.
The upcoming EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas promises an exhilarating showcase of NASCAR talent on the challenging road course in Austin, Texas. With Toyota aiming for a third consecutive victory, drivers like Ty Gibbs, Tyler Reddick, AJ Allmendinger, and Alex Bowman are poised to make their mark on the race. From Gibbs’ pursuit of his maiden Cup Series win to Reddick’s dominance at COTA, the stage is set for a thrilling battle among NASCAR’s finest. As the anticipation builds for Sunday’s race, fans can expect high-speed action and intense competition as drivers vie for glory at one of the most demanding tracks on the calendar.
