NASCAR at Texas: Betting expert reveals AAA Texas 500 picks

As a Vegas bookmaker, Micah Roberts was the first to offer expanded NASCAR betting. Now he hands out NASCAR winners to his followers.

Roberts nailed last week's NASCAR Playoffs race, calling for Joey Logano to take the checkered flag at Martinsville despite being a 12-1 underdog. Logano bumped Martin Truex Jr. out of the way on the final lap for the huge victory.

Roberts also picked the winner in first two races of the NASCAR playoffs, calling for Brad Keselowski to win at Vegas at 12-1 odds and for Kyle Busch to secure his seventh win of the season, which he did in Richmond after starting from the 11th spot.

Robert is capping off an amazing 12-month run picking NASCAR. Recently, he said Kevin Harvick would dominate at Michigan, and he did just that for his seventh win this season. He was all over Busch at Pocono, pointing to not only his 26 career starts there but his motivation to win after a late bump from Harvick the week before. Busch rallied from 28th to win the checkered flag.

Roberts' uncanny picks come as no surprise. In the 2017 NASCAR playoffs, Roberts picked nine of the 10 winners. In 2016, he backed Denny Hamlin (15-1) at the Daytona 500 and took him again at 40-1 at Watkins Glen later that year: Two more victories with epic payouts.

Now Roberts has analyzed Sunday's AAA Texas 500 field. He's released his top 20 finishers in order, and there are plenty of surprises.

We can tell you he's not picking Busch, the race favorite at 7-2 odds who won the spring stop at the track. Instead, Roberts is backing a driver with double-digit odds to shock the field by winning the AAA Texas 500. He also has two other drivers with double-digit odds making strong runs at the checkered flag. Anyone who backs them could hit it BIG.
