Ambetter Health 400 Predictions

After Close Call Last Year, Kyle Busch Looks to Break Long Losing Streak

Kyle Busch knew he would have a fast superspeedway car for last Sunday’s Daytona 500, and that proved to be the case.

Busch ran near the front of the field for much of the race, before a late wreck not of his making knocked him out of contention.

The car Busch will drive at Atlanta should be as good as his Daytona Camaro, if not better. In last year’s Ambetter Health 400, Busch was third in the closest finish among three drivers in NASCAR history.

Daniel Suarez won the race by 0.003 seconds over runner-up Ryan Blaney and 0.007 seconds over Busch.

At Daytona, Busch’s career-long winless streak reached 58 races. Though we don’t think he’ll get a breakthrough win on Sunday, we think he’ll beat Joey Logano head-to-head at +120 via bet365 Sportsbook.

Joey Logano May Have the Top Ford, But Is That Good Enough?

There have been six NASCAR Cup Series races at Atlanta since the 1.54-mile track was repaved in 2021. Since then, NASCAR has used its superspeedway competition package there.

Joey Logano has won two of those races, most recently last year’s Playoff event in September. The driver of the No. 22 Team Penske Ford also won the 2023 spring race from the pole.

Logano is the oddsmakers’ second choice for Sunday’s Ambetter Health 400 at +900 to teammate Ryan Blaney’s +800 via bet365.

It’s true that Logano had a strong car last Sunday at Daytona, overcoming debris in the throttle body to run up front before a late wreck sidelined him.

Before last year’s win, however, Logano was 17th and 28th in the two previous races at the track, and we’re not convinced he’ll challenge for the victory on Sunday. Hence, our pick of Kyle Busch to beat him head-to-head at favorable odds.

After Daytona 500 Win, William Byron Promises to Maintain Momentum

Last year, William Byron won three of the first eight NASCAR Cup Series races, starting with the Daytona 500.

After the eighth race, however, Byron didn’t win again, and though he qualified for the season-ending Championship 4 race on points, he was third in the title race behind Joey Logano (who dominated) and Ryan Blaney.

Last Sunday, Byron again won the Daytona 500, becoming only the fifth driver to win the Great American Race back-to-back. As he climbed from the car at the finish line, Byron promised that there would be no letdown this year.

There would be no better place for Byron to continue his hot hand than Atlanta, where the driver of the No. 24 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet has won twice in the last six races and led 173 laps in the process.

Byron is our pick to win Sunday’s race at +1200 via bet365. And if you really want to take a flyer, you can bet BOTH Byron and Daytona 500 runner-up Tyler Reddick to finish in the top three at +4500 odds via bet365.
