Martin Truex Jr. will eye another Mother's Day victory when he participates in the 2023 Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway on Sunday. Truex led 248 laps in a dominant performance in 2021 before finishing fourth in the Southern 500. He crashed up front in the closing laps of this race last year, but is expected to be one of the 2023 Goodyear 400 contenders. Truex is 7-1 in the 2023 Goodyear 400 odds at Caesars Sportsbook, putting him behind Kyle Larson (4-1) and Denny Hamlin (11-2) atop the 2023 NASCAR in Darlington odds board.

Truex has notched four top-eight finishes in the last five weeks after posting just one in the previous seven weeks.

2023 NASCAR at Darlington expert picks

One of Bobbitt and Greco's top 2023 Goodyear 400 prop bets: They are backing Ross Chastain to finish ahead of Tyler Reddick at -110 odds. Chastain loves this track type, ranking second overall in the Next-Gen races at Auto Club, Dover and Darlington. He is first in average fast laps per race during that data set and is second in average laps led.

Chastain has a dynamic pit crew that will give him plenty of opportunities to gain ground during Sunday's race. Reddick ranks 10th in the same data set that Chastain ranks second, creating immediate value on the Trackhouse Racing member. Bobbitt and Greco are thrilled to take Chastain at low odds in this prop.

"Reddick has also been known to not be the best-tire saver, so we can see our sides start to dominate the longer this race goes on," Bobbitt and Greco told SportsLine. See what other NASCAR picks they like at SportsLine.
