The Round of 12 in the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs begin Sunday with the 2022 AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. Reigning series champion Kyle Larson remains alive for a chance to repeat as he is fourth in the playoff standings with 3,019 points - 21 behind leader Chase Elliott. Larson, who won this race last season, trails Ross Chastain by one point for third place and Joey Logano by six for second.
Larson is listed at +650 while Denny Hamlin, who is sixth in the standings, is the +550 favorite in the latest 2022 AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 500 odds from Caesars Sportsbook. The 2022 NASCAR at Texas green flag drops at 3:30 p.m. ET.
Before making any 2022 AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 500 picks, you NEED to see what SportsLine's Micah Roberts has to say. A former Vegas bookmaker, Roberts was the first to offer expanded NASCAR betting and now hands out NASCAR winners to his followers on SportsLine.
Roberts is the nation's premier NASCAR betting expert, and his top pick, Elliott, won the Jockey Made in America 250 last season. He also correctly predicted the 2021 Coca-Cola 600 winner, hitting Larson's win at 11-2 odds, and was on point by targeting Elliott as the winner of the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix at 8-5 odds the previous week. In addition, Roberts nailed last year's GEICO 500 when he predicted Brad Keselowski to win at 14-1 odds. Anyone who has followed his picks has cashed tickets.
Now, Roberts has analyzed the NASCAR at Texas 2022 starting grid for Sunday's AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 500. We can tell you he's fading Larson, even though he is one of the favorites. In fact, Roberts says Larson barely cracks the top 10!
However, Roberts is high on a HUGE longshot who has "come alive on these types of tracks." This driver is being underestimated by oddsmakers, and anyone who backs him could hit it BIG! You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making any picks.
