2023 Verizon 200 odds, picks: Projected NASCAR at the Brickyard leaderboard, predictions from proven model
The NASCAR Cup Series season continues on Sunday with the 2023 Verizon 200 at the Brickyard, run at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Grand Prix Circuit. The green flag is scheduled to drop at 2:30 p.m. ET and there are only three races remaining until the start of the 2023 NASCAR Playoffs. Points leader Martin Truex Jr. is the 4-1 favorite in the latest 2023 Verizon 200 odds followed by defending Indy Grand Prix winner Tyler Reddick at 5-1. Chicago Road Race winner Shane Van Gisbergen is back to make his first start since his historic win and he's listed at 11-1 in the NASCAR at Indy 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 Verizon 200 at the Brickyard and released its projections.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway is one of the most famed track on earth but NASCAR decided to take a different look at the Brickyard when it began running road races on the Indianapolis Grand Prix Circuit in 2021. The road setup uses almost the entire main straightaway and then ducks into the infield, with 14 turns on a course that measures 2.439 miles. Allmendinger and Reddick won the first two NASCAR Cup Series races on the Indianapolis Grand Prix Circuit and Allmendinger also won the Xfinity race on the Indy Road Course last season.
For the 2023 Verizon 200, we can tell you the model is high on A.J. Allmendinger, even though he's a 15-1 longshot in the latest 2023 NASCAR at the Brickyard odds. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday. And a massive shocker: Christopher Bell, one of the Vegas favorites at 19-2, stumbles big-time and barely cracks the top 10! There are far better values in the 2023 Verizon 200 at the Brickyard starting lineup.
The model is also targeting TWO OTHER driverswith 2023 NASCAR at Indianapolis odds of 15-1 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.
