    BetMGM: Chase Elliott, AJ Allmendinger headline COTA driver matchups

    There are 41 active drivers with at least one career NASCAR Cup Series start at a road course. Forty of those drivers not named Chase Elliott have combined for 20 wins in 781 starts.

    Elliott has seven wins in 19 starts, including a staggering six in 12 starts since 2019, and he‘s back at Circuit of The Americas this weekend looking to remove “arguably” before “the greatest road-course driver in NASCAR history.”

    Ten months after Elliott won a rain-shortened EchoPark Automotive Texas Grand Prix, the 26-year-old is BetMGM‘s favorite to win in Austin, where mid-80s and clear skies are forecasted.

    And while it‘s obvious why Elliott is favored to increase his career road-course winning rate to a staggering 40%, it‘s anyone‘s guess — including his own — why he‘s dominated on these tracks.

    “I really have no idea,” Elliott said last July about the road-course success. “I feel like it‘s just good cars. Our team as a whole has been good at road courses the whole time, too. Kyle (Larson) won at Sonoma. I feel like drivers are only as good as what they have to drive. Fortunately, I feel like I‘ve got the best stuff and just got to make it work.”

    To earn a seventh road-course win in the last four years, Elliott must, at minimum, finish ahead of road-course ringer AJ Allmendinger and Kyle Larson, who finished second last year in Austin and is the only other driver with multiple road-course wins since 2019.

    Elliott and Allmendinger are paired in one of BetMGM‘s four Featured Matchups for NASCAR betting this weekend:

    Chase Elliott (-200) and A.J. Allmendinger (+165)

    Chase Elliott sits atop BetMGM‘s odds for race winner, top-2 finish, top-3 finish, and top Chevrolet car.

    None of those positions are surprising for arguably the best road-course driver in NASCAR history, nor is his position as a heavy favorite over Allmendinger, who finished fifth last year at COTA and is one of only four other drivers with a road-course win since 2019.

    The public is willing to pay the price for Elliott, too. As of Wednesday, he was receiving 80% of the bets and 99% of the handle in the head-to-head matchup with Allmendinger. Elliott also has 11.1% of the tickets to win the race, the highest share in the field.

    Kyle Larson (-200) vs. William Byron (+165)

    If the 2021 race wasn‘t stopped after 54 (of a scheduled 68) laps, Kyle Larson might‘ve won, overtaking Elliott from his second-place position.

    Larson returns to Austin seeking his second win of the year after disappointing starts at Phoenix and Atlanta. With three road-course wins and five top-five finishes in 10 races since 2019, he‘s the best active road-course driver outside of Elliott.

    Larson, however, is not the public‘s pick against William Byron, who‘s dominating the tickets (80%) and handle (96%) in this matchup. Byron also ranks second in race-winner handle, 10.8% to Larson‘s 3.7% (ninth).

    Kyle Busch (-150) vs. Denny Hamlin (+125)

    Only Elliott and Larson have higher average road-course finishes than Denny Hamlin since 2019 (minimum two starts), yet Hamlin hasn‘t won over that time; he has seven top-five finishes, a driver rating of 100, and 85 laps led.

    Despite the sustained success, Hamlin is an underdog to Kyle Busch, who finished 10th last year but has 404 laps led and four wins in 41 career road-course races. And bettors are taking the dog; Hamlin has 63% of the tickets and 59% of the handle against Busch.

    Martin Truex Jr. (-125) vs. Austin Cindric (+105)

    This matchup pits one of the Cup Series‘ most experienced road-course drivers in Martin Truex Jr., against one of the least experienced in Austin Cindric.

    Among active drivers, only Kurt Busch, Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick have more career starts than Truex. His 39 starts dwarf the three career starts for the 23-year-old Cindric, who finished third in qualifying, fifth in Stage 1, and fourth in Stage 2 last year before dropping well out of contention.

    Truex has the second-highest race-winner handle (14.2%) but has smaller ticket (20%) and handle (39%) shares than Cindric in their matchup.
