2025 Ambetter Health 400 Preview: Top Picks and Longshots at Atlanta Motor Speedway

The NASCAR Cup Series continues its 2025 season with the Ambetter Health 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The race, which begins at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, will feature drivers competing over 260 laps on the 1.54-mile asphalt track. As the series shifts from Daytona to Atlanta, William Byron will look to extend his momentum after winning back-to-back Daytona 500 titles. Despite his recent success, Byron enters the Ambetter Health 400 as a 22-1 longshot.

Meanwhile, at the top of the odds for this race is Ryan Blaney, who is listed at 15-2. Blaney won this race in 2021 and will start on the pole, giving him a clear advantage. Just behind him is Joey Logano, who won the Atlanta race in 2023, with 10-1 odds. As the defending race winner, Daniel Suarez enters the field with 22-1 odds, making him a strong sleeper pick for fans making their bets.

Top Sleepers to Watch at the 2025 Ambetter Health 400

While the favorites may grab the spotlight, there are some hidden gems worth considering for those looking for valuable longshot bets. According to SportsLine’s advanced NASCAR model, four drivers with odds of 16-1 or longer have a solid chance of contending for the win. Here’s a closer look at some of the top sleeper picks:

William Byron (22-1)
Byron’s impressive victory at Daytona makes him an intriguing contender for this race. He is not only the Daytona 500 champion but also a former winner at Atlanta Motor Speedway. In fact, he has won twice at this track in his last six starts. With a solid average finish of 7.0 over his last four races at Atlanta, including three top-10 finishes, Byron has the ability to surprise the field again. Despite being a 22-1 longshot, his past performance at Atlanta gives him great potential.

Christopher Bell (20-1)
Bell has had a near-championship run over the past three seasons, with third, fourth, and fifth place finishes. He also has a strong track record at Atlanta, finishing fourth in the 2024 fall race and third in the 2023 spring race. With 10 top-10 finishes in his last 13 races at any track, Bell is a consistent contender. He also benefits from being part of Hendrick Motorsports, which has won the Ambetter Health 400 a record 10 times.

Daniel Suarez (22-1)
Suarez stunned many last year when he won the Ambetter Health 400 as a 35-1 longshot. After a memorable victory in 2024, his odds have dropped, but there’s still considerable value at 22-1. Suarez has finished top-2 in his last three races at Atlanta, with his average finish at this track sitting at an impressive 7.3. Given his current form, he could make another run for victory.
