Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum will host the Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum 2023 exhibition, marking the sophomore edition of the race. Joey Logano went wire-to-wire last season, kicking off the campaign that resulted in his second NASCAR Cup Series championship. He is listed at 8-1 to win Sunday's race for the second year in a row, according to the latest 2023 Busch Light Clash at the Coliseum odds at Caesars Sportsbook. Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson are 15-2 co-favorites on the NASCAR odds board. Should you back either of them with your 2023 Busch Light Clash bets?

2023 Clash at the Coliseum expert picks
One of Bobbitt and Greco's top NASCAR prop bets: They are backing Chase Elliott to finish higher than Kyle Larson, a bet that returns -114 (risk $114 to win $100).
Over the last three years, nobody has had a better driver rating than Elliott on short tracks, and courses don't get any shorter than the quarter-mile loop at the Coliseum. On such a small course, those who maximize their opportunities are the drivers best equipped to take advantage of the tight layout. On all short tracks last season, Elliott had the sixth-best rate of laps per race among all drivers in which he improved his position (8.09), while Larson finished at 7.46.
Conversely, Elliott had a lower rate of laps in which his position worsened on short tracks (3.71) to Larson's 4.79. Although Larson had the better finish of the two in last year's Clash, Elliott showed his comfort level in the leadup to the race, with the best average speed (66.89) and lap time (13.455) among all drivers in practice.
