Daniel Suarez aims to defend his title after winning the Toyota Save Mart 350 last year. He'll have to fend off a strong field featuring Cup Series contenders like Kyle Larson and Tyler Reddick, though. Which NASCAR racer will be the one to cross the finish line in first place on Sunday afternoon?

Toyota Save Mart 350 Odds 2023

Kyle Larson and Tyler Reddick are tied as the current Toyota Save Mart 350 favorite on FanDuel Sportsbook's NASCAR odds at +450. Chase Elliott checks in right behind those two drivers with +550 odds, while Kyle Busch (+900) and William Byron (+1000) round out the top five contenders.

Toyota Save Mart 350 Prediction 2023

Backing Kyle Larson may seem like an easy choice given has won the Save Mart 350 before (2021). However, I find myself avoiding the favorite and backing Chase Elliott to cross the finish line in first place, instead. Elliott has won seven of the last 15 road course races, which speaks to his talent.

Not only that, but Elliott's average finish of 7.7 over his 20 road course race starts is the best mark in NASCAR. He finished ninth at the 2022 Save Mart 350 and recently told reporters that "I felt like it was the best I’ve ever been there." It certainly seems like he will be aiming to improve on that showing.

Winner: Chase Elliott (+550)

Toyota Save Mart 350 Best Bet 2023

There's one driver that sticks out toward the middle of the pack and that is Martin Truex Jr. The 42-year-old has a big edge on the rest of the field via the fact that he has won the Save Mart 350 three times in the past (2013, 2018 & 2019). He knows what it takes to get ahead at Sonoma Raceway and posted a top-3 finish as recently as 2021. Backing a top-10 finish at plus odds lines up as a steal.

Bet: Martin Truex Jr. Top 10 Finish (+105)
