2022 NASCAR at Road America race picks, Kwik Trip 250 odds, starting lineup, predictions from legendary expert

After recording only nine top-10 finishes in 115 starts over his first five seasons in the NASCAR Cup Series, Ross Chastain finally is enjoying success this year. He has posted his first two series wins to tie for most this campaign, leads all drivers with eight top-five finishes, and shares the top spot for top-10s with 11. Chastain will try to take the lead in victories when he gets behind the wheel for the 2022 Kwik Trip 250 at Race America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin on Sunday. The 29-year-old, who was seventh in this race last year, is coming off a fifth-place finish at Nashville last weekend.

Chastain is 7-1 and Chase Elliott is the 9-2 favorite in the latest 2022 Kwik Trip 250 odds from Caesars Sportsbook. Reigning Cup Series champion Kyle Larson is 5-1, while Kyle Busch and A.J. Allmendinger round out the top 2022 NASCAR at Road America contenders at 10-1. You’ll want to check out the NASCAR at Road America predictions from Micah Roberts, the legendary Vegas bookmaker who pioneered wagering on racing, before locking in any 2022 Kwik Trip 250 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 this race when it was known as the Jockey Made in America 250 last season.

He also correctly predicted the 2021 Coca-Cola 600 winner, hitting 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 Road America 2022 race and just locked in his picks and predictions. He’s only sharing his winner and projected leaderboard at SportsLine.

2022 Kwik Trip 250 expert picks

One shocker: Roberts is low on Kyle Busch, even though he’s one the top 2022 Kwik Trip 250 contenders. In fact, Roberts says Busch, who finished third at Road America last year, doesn’t even crack the top 15.

“The new car hasn’t been good to him on road courses this year,” Roberts told SportsLine. “He was 30th at Sonoma four weeks ago. He may be a driver I look to bet against in driver matchups.”

Another curveball: Roberts is high on Daniel Suarez, even though he’s a 15-1 long shot in the latest 2022 NASCAR at Road America odds. The 30-year-old was unable to build momentum off his first career Cup Series victory on June 12 at Sonoma, finishing 15th at Nashville last weekend. In addition to his win, Suarez has had success on road courses, as he has posted two other top-10 finishes in the Cup Series and a pair of top-fives in the Xfinity Series.

“He dominated at Sonoma last month, leading a race-high 47 laps to win his first career Cup Series race,” Roberts told SportsLine. “Suarez should be in single-digits here.” See more Kwik Trip 500 expert picks here.
