NASCAR will gear up for its season with the 2023 Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum on Sunday. The track has been constructed at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which is the home field of USC Trojans football. The green flag drops on the 23-car, 150-lap exhibition race at 8 p.m. ET. Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson are 8-1 co-favorites in the 2023 Clash at the Coliseum odds from Caesars Sportsbook.

Our proven projection model has simulated the 2023 Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum 10,000 times and come up with a surprising leaderboard.

Developed by daily Fantasy pro and SportsLine predictive data engineer Mike McClure, this proprietary NASCAR prediction computer model takes into account a slew of factors including track history and recent results.

In the 2021 season, McClure's model nailed Truex Jr. to win at Martinsville for a strong 3-1 payout. Then it called Elliott to win at Road America for a 5-2 payout. McClure's model also called Larson's win at Texas for an 11-4 payout and his win at Kansas for a 9-4 payout in back-to-back weeks before nailing Larson to win the season finale in Phoenix to claim the 2021 NASCAR Cup Championship. In total, it nailed five of Larson's wins during a historic season. 

In 2022, it was high on Ross Chastain to win in Austin, giving him a far better shot to win than his 40-1 odds implied. The model was also high on Joey Logano before he won as a 15-1 underdog at Darlington and high on Logano again when he returned 14-1 on his win in St. Louis. In early August it was much higher on Kevin Harvick than his 17-1 odds implied and Harvick went on to capture the win at Michigan and it was high on Tyler Reddick when he won at Texas for a 12-1 payout. Anyone who followed its lead on those plays saw HUGE returns.

Now, the model has dialed in on the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum 2023 and released its projections.

The quarter-mile track is specially built into Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, a 102-year-old mixed-use stadium that has hosted the Olympics, Super Bowl and World Series. Last year's race was the first of its kind, and Joey Logano captured the victory after Kyle Busch led 65 laps from pole position. Logano won the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series Championship and now returns as one of the favorites again in the 2023 NASCAR Clash at the Coliseum starting lineup.

For the 2023 Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum, we can tell you the model is high on Tyler Reddick, even though he's a 15-1 longshot in the latest 2023 NASCAR at Los Angeles odds. He's a target for anyone looking for a HUGE payday. And a massive shocker: Kyle Busch, one of the Vegas favorites at 8-1, stumbles big-time and barely cracks the top five! There are far better values in the 2023 Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum starting lineup.

The model is also targeting TWO OTHER drivers with 2023 NASCAR at Los Angeles odds of 15-1 or longer to make a serious run at the checkered flag! Anyone who backs these drivers could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in any NASCAR picks.
