The NASCAR Cup Series will continue on Sunday with the 2023 Enjoy Illinois 300. The green flag will drop at 3:30 p.m. ET and the race is scheduled to go 240 laps around the 1.25-mile oblong oval referred to as "Gateway." Despite a 30th-place finish and a DNF last week in Charlotte, Kyle Larson is the 4-1 favorite in the 2023 Enjoy Illinois 300 odds from Caesars Sportsbook. William Byron is 11-2 in the 2023 NASCAR at Illinois odds, while Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr. are all 8-1.

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), 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 Kyle Larson's wins during his historic season in 2021. All told, the model has nailed a whopping 12 winners since 2021. Anyone who followed its lead on those NASCAR picks saw HUGE returns.   

Now, the model has dialed in on the Enjoy Illinois 300 2023 and released its projections.

World Wide Technology Raceway was formerly known as Gateway Motorsports Park and it's been a on-again, off-again host for the NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series since 1997. It hosted its first NASCAR Cup Series race last season, with Joey Logano capturing the victory after leading 22 laps. Logano was one of seven drivers who led at least 10 laps, with Kyle Busch leading a race-high 66 laps on his way to finishing second.

We can tell you the model is high on Tyler Reddick, even though he's a 15-1 longshot in the latest 2023 NASCAR at Gateway odds. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday. And a massive shocker: William Byron, one of the top Vegas favorites at 11-2, stumbles big-time and doesn't even crack the top five! There are far better values in the 2023 Enjoy Illinois 300 starting lineup.

The model is also targeting two other drivers with 2023 NASCAR at Gateway odds longer than 12-1 to make a serious run at the checkered flag! Anyone who backs these drivers could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any NASCAR picks.
