2023 Bass Pro Shops Night Race odds, picks: Projected NASCAR at Bristol leaderboard, predictions from proven model
The 2023 NASCAR Playoffs will continue on Saturday as the NASCAR Cup Series descends on Bristol Motor Speedway for the 2023 Bass Pro Shops Night Race. The green flag is scheduled to drop at 7:30 p.m. ET. Kyle Larson is the 5-1 favorite in the 2023 Bass Pro Shops Night Race odds. He's followed by Denny Hamlin at 15-2 and then William Byron, Brad Keselowski and Christopher Bell are all 17-2 in the NASCAR at Bristol odds.
Our proven NASCAR projection model has simulated the race 10,000 times and came up with a surprising leaderboard. Developed by daily Fantasy pro and SportsLine predictive data engineer Mike McClure, this proprietary NASCAR prediction model takes into account a slew of factors including track history and recent results.
McClure's model is off to a red-hot start this season, already nailing Martin Truex Jr.'s Clash win (20-1) as well as his win in New Hampshire (11-2), Joey Logano's Duel win (8-1), Kyle Busch's Fontana victory (10-1), Denny Hamlin's triumph in Kansas (6-1) and Kyle Larson's wins at Martinsville (6-1) and the NASCAR All-Star Race (13-2). In Austin, it listed Tyler Reddick as one of its best values and he went on to win for a 10-1 payout. It also impressively nailed five of Larson's wins during his historic season in 2021. All told, the model has nailed a whopping 13 winners since 2021! Anyone who followed its lead on those NASCAR picks saw HUGE returns.
Now, the model has dialed in on the 2023 Bristol Night Race and released its projections.
Bristol Motor Speedway first hosted the NASCAR Cup Series in 1961 and Saturday's race will be the 123rd Cup race held on the steeply-banked 0.533-mile concrete oval. It will be the second race of the season at Bristol, though the first was held under markedly different circumstances with the track converted to a dirt track for the spring race beginning in 2021. Chris Buescher is the defending champion of the Bass Pro Shops Night Race and he's gone on to add career-best three victories during the 2023 season. Buescher is priced at 12-1 in the Bristol Night Race odds.
For the 2023 Bass Pro Shops Night Race, we can tell you the model is high on Martin Truex Jr., even though he's a 14-1 longshot in the latest 2023 NASCAR at Bristol odds. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday. And a massive shocker: The model says Brad Keselowski, one of the Vegas favorites at 17-2, stumbles big-time and barely cracks the top 10! There are far better values in the 2023 Bristol Night Race starting lineup.
The model is also targeting two other driverswith 2023 NASCAR at Bristol odds of 12-1 or higher to make a serious run at the checkered flag!Anyone who backs these drivers could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who they are before locking in any NASCAR picks.
