Autotrader EchoPark Autmotive 500 pre-race favorites
Denny Hamlin (+550)
Hamlin has been steadily trending up since a disastrous start to his season had him outside the playoff bubble for most of the spring. His ninth-place finish at Bristol last Saturday was his fifth Top 10 in the past seven races, with four of those results landing him in the Top 5. He's a two-time Texas winner, but both of those came way back in 2010.
Kyle Larson (+600)
The defending champ in this race, Larson has been consistent down the stretch this year, if not as outright dominant as he was to close last season. Indeed, this NASCAR campaign has seen a lot more parity between drivers, but Larson remains within striking distance of a Cup Series back-to-back, currently sitting fourth in the standings.
Christopher Bell (+700)
Bell, currently seventh in the standings, has been heating up and putting himself in a position to win. In the past 10 races, he has a victory (New Hampshire), with six other Top-10 finishes, five of which in the Top 5. As a younger driver, he doesn't have a ton of history at Texas, but has come third in both of his Cup Series starts on this track.
How to bet on NASCAR
The most popular way to bet on NASCAR is by simply picking the winner of a race, which is also referred to as an outright. There are plenty of other ways to wager, including betting on whether or not a driver will finish in the Top 3 or Top 10 of a race.
Another popular betting option is head-to-head matchup betting, where sportsbooks pair up two drivers and you choose who you think will finish better in the race, which is far easier than trying to select someone to win out of a field of approximately 40 drivers.
