Reddick led 53 laps last week at the Autotrader 400 as he nosed out Chase Briscoe for the win. Reddick now has 10 career wins and 94 top-10 finishes. Shane Van Gisbergen is the race favorite at +115 (risk $100 to win $115) at FanDuel. 

Among the other favorites are Connor Zilisch (+380), Christopher Bell (+1100), William Byron (+1200), Reddick (+1600) and Chase Elliott (+2000). Bell won last year's race, the second of three in a row. He finished the season with four wins overall. Sunday's race is set to begin at 3:30 p.m. ET.

For the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series DuraMax Texas Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, we can tell you Bobbitt and Greco are backing Chase Elliott to beat William Byron (+155, Bet365) in a head-to-head matchup. "We project Elliott at 7.5 and Byron at 5.1 overall. On paper, that favors Byron. The price is what changes the equation. Both drivers recorded four Top-10 finishes on road courses in 2025 and averaged 2.2 fastest laps per event. Elliott actually posted the stronger average finish at 10.0 compared to Byron's 12.3, and the gap in raw pace metrics between the two is minimal.

"This matchup is far closer than the +155 implies. When the statistical separation is thin and the market stretches the number this far, we are obligated to take a position. We are not betting certainty here. We are betting that this is closer to a coin flip than the price suggests."
