Kyle Busch has had plenty of success at New Hampshire Motor Speedway during his career, posting three wins, 11 top-five finishes and 16 top-10s in 30 NASCAR Cup Series starts. The two-time series champion also recorded six victories and nine top-fives in 12 Xfinity Series races on the track and registered three wins and six top-10s in eight Truck Series starts there. Busch will attempt to add to his resume on Sunday when he returns to the venue for the 2022 Ambetter 301 on Sunday. The 37-year-old is one of eight drivers to win this race multiple times since it debuted in 1993, capturing the NASCAR at New Hampshire checkered flag in both 2006 and 2015.

Busch is the 5-1 favorite in the latest 2022 Ambetter 301 odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Ryan Blaney is 6-1, Chase Elliott and Joey Logano are 7-1 and Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr. round out the top 2022 NASCAR New Hampshire contenders at 9-1. You'll want to check out the NASCAR at New Hampshire predictions from Micah Roberts, the legendary Vegas bookmaker who pioneered wagering on racing, before locking in any 2022 Ambetter 301 picks of your own.

Roberts, a former Vegas bookmaker, was the first to offer expanded NASCAR betting, and now hands out NASCAR winners to his followers on SportsLine. Roberts is the nation's premier NASCAR betting expert, and his top pick, Elliott, won the Jockey Made in America 250 last season.

He also correctly predicted the 2021 Coca-Cola 600 winner, hitting Kyle Larson's victory at 11-2 odds, and was on point by targeting Elliott as the winner of the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix at 8-5 odds the previous week. In addition, Roberts nailed last year's GEICO 500 when he predicted Brad Keselowski to win at 14-1 odds. Anyone who has followed his picks has cashed tickets.

Now, Roberts has analyzed the field and odds for Sunday's NASCAR at New Hampshire 2022 race and just locked in his picks and predictions. He's only sharing his winner and leaderboard at SportsLine.

Top 2022 Ambetter 301 expert picks

One shocker: Roberts is low on Chase Elliott, even though he's one of the top 2022 Ambetter 301 contenders. In fact, Roberts says Elliott, who has won two of the last three races this season, doesn't even crack the top 15.

"Elliott has recorded just one top-five finish in eight starts at NHMS," Roberts told SportsLine. "Flat tracks aren't his thing, and he's proven it all season, with his best result being 10th place at Martinsville."

Another curveball: Roberts is high on William Byron, even though he's a long shot at 15-1 in the latest 2022 NASCAR at New Hampshire odds. The 24-year-old North Carolinian, who has posted a career-high two victories this season, is looking to bounce back after crashing out last weekend at Atlanta. Byron hasn't fared well at New Hampshire in the Cup Series, finishing no better than 11th in four starts, but won his only Truck Series race there in 2017 and was third a year later in an Xfinity Series start.

"This is his kind of track, and he proved himself on it by winning a 2015 K&N Pro Series event and a 2016 Truck Series race," Roberts told SportsLine. "He'll be fast and the price is right." See who else to pick here.
