NASCAR Cup Series favorites
Denny Hamlin (+400 to +500)
Hamlin has fallen to as low as +400 following his third victory of 2024 at Dover, though he had a mirror full of Larson at the wire.
Hamlin produced another solid season in 2023 with three wins and 14 Top 5s with 998 laps led, but time is running out for the 43-year-old driver to capture that elusive championship.
William Byron (+450 to +500)
Byron is part of a three-way tie at most sites with Hamlin and Larson despite wrecking at Dover. The 33rd-place result snapped a five-race streak of finishing seventh or better.
Byron's versatility has been on full display in 2024. Though he's only sixth in laps led to this point, he was second in laps led in 2023 while ranking first in wins, Top 5s, Top 10s, and average rating.
Kyle Larson (+450 to +500)
Kyle Larson picked up his Cup Series-best fifth Top 5 of the year at Dover by running second to Hamlin.
Larson dominated proceedings at Las Vegas — one of the staple 1 1/2-mile ovals on the NASCAR circuit and also a playoff venue — earlier this year. The No. 5 Chevrolet pilot is tops in laps led (570) at this stage of the season.
Christopher Bell (+650 to +850)
Oddsmakers varied in their approach to resetting the title odds following Christopher Bell's breakthrough at Phoenix, with some slashing his odds almost in half while others dropped him just a point or two while bringing some of his competition closer to him.
Owning a win over the course that the championship race will be contested on will loom large throughout the march to November, but he's understandably risen a couple of points across the board after failing to be much of a factor on a weekly basis since that March 10 victory.
