NASCAR Cup Series betting favorites
Christopher Bell (+400)
Christopher Bell led the second-most laps while taking home three race victories in 2024, but that campaign will most likely be remembered for the "wall ride" at Martinsville that got him DQ'd from participating in the Championship 4.
That bitter playoff exit has fueled the 30-year-old Joe Gibbs pilot in a major way, as he threatened for the win at Daytona before taking the checkered flag at both Atlanta and COTA.
Kyle Larson (+500)
Kyle Larson had a series-high six wins in 2024 but his "checkers or wreckers" results doomed him to a premature exit in the Round of 8.
Larson is off to a slow start in 2025, tallying only one Top 10 with a mere 12 laps led.
William Byron (+600)
William Byron led mere 357 laps last year en route to three trips to Victory Lane in 2024, but he was third among full-time drivers in average finish.
Byron navigated the chaos to win the 2025 Daytona 500, buoying his first-place status in the driver standings.
