Wurth 400 Odds, Prediction & Best Bet for 2023 NASCAR Cup Series Race (Can Larson Overcome Former Champions?)

The 2023 NASCAR season continues on Sunday afternoon with the Wurth 400 at the Dover Motor Speedway in Dover, Delaware. This will be the 11th race of the 2023 season so far.

Wurth 400 Race Info 2023

Date: Sunday, April 30, 2023
Start Time: 1 p.m. ET
Laps: 400 (400 miles)
2022 Winner: Chase Elliott
Coverage: FS1

Chase Elliott aims to defend his title after winning the 400-lap event for the first time last year. He'll have to fend off a strong field featuring past winners like Denny Hamlin (2020), Martin Truex Jr. (2007, 2019), and Kyle Busch (2008, 2010).

Wurth 400 Odds 2023

Kyle Larson is currently the Wurth 400 favorite on FanDuel Sportsbook's NASCAR odds at +490. Defending champion Chase Elliott and William Byron are tied for the second-best odds (+750) while past winners Denny Hamlin (+800) and Kevin Harvick (+900) round out the top five.

Wurth 400 Prediction 2023

Although the odds-on favorite isn't guaranteed to win, it's hard to bet against Kyle Larson. He already has three top-three finishes this season, which includes winning the NOCO 400 and Toyota Owners 400. Although he's yet to win the Wurth 400, he has eight top-five finishes in 14 previous trips to Dover and even won the 2019 Drydene 400 when it was held at Dover International Speedway.

His first-ever Wurth 400 victory on Sunday would hardly be shocking given his history.

Wurth 400 Best Bet 2023

Although there's value to be had with a Larson win at +490 odds, some bettors might be looking for more value. Keeping that in mind, Kyle Busch at +1600 is a valid option. Not only is he a two-time Wurth 400 champion, but he's finished as either the winner or runner-up in seven of 34 previous races at Dover International Speedway.

With momentum on his side following last week's GEICO 500 victory, Busch is a threat to win in Dover.
