The Ambetter Health 400 marks the fifth race of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season. The green flag is set to drop on Sunday, March 19, at 3:00 pm ET at the Atlanta Motor Speedway.

The 1.54-mile-long asphalt quad-oval intermediate speedway features 28 degrees of banking in turns and five degrees straightaway.

A total of 36 drivers will be contesting over 260 laps in this week’s Cup Series race. This will be the 65th annual event hosted by the Phoenix Raceway in the history of the NASCAR Cup Series.

Heading to Georgia, the defending champion of the event William Byron stands at the top of the betting odds at +900 odds to win Sunday’s Cup race, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. He is followed by Kyle Larson at +900 and Kyle Busch at +1200 for the second-highest betting odds.

The four drivers tied the third-highest betting odds to win the race on Sunday at +1200 are Ryan Blaney, Ross Chastain, Joey Logano, and Denny Hamlin. They are followed by Christopher Bell at +1500 odds and Tyler Reddick, Brad Keselowski, and Alex Bowman all stand at the fifth-highest betting odds.

Byron will look to continue his momentum this month with a third straight win. The 25-year-old started 12th but managed to win the first stage and took the checkered flag on the final lap of the race, beating Ross Chastain and Kurt Busch.
