NASCAR Cup Series odds movement
- Ryan Blaney has gone from +750 to +550 over the last month. He continues to overcome pit road incidents to be a factor nearly every time.
- The three top pilots at Hendrick Motorsports are all trending the wrong way over the last month. Kyle Larson (+450 to +500), William Byron (+600 to +800), and Chase Elliott (+650 to +800) are all getting further from the top of the board.
NASCAR Cup Series favorites
Tyler Reddick (+400)
The wins haven't exactly come easy for Tyler Reddick, who needed late-race heroics to take the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas, but you can't argue with results.
The No. 45 driver has five victories from nine races. It would take a stunning collapse for him to miss the postseason.
Denny Hamlin (+450)
Denny Hamlin picked up his first win of 2026 at Las Vegas, and he had the dominant car at Martinsville, but just couldn't hold off Chase Elliott late.
He's not had a truly bad day at the track since Daytona (31st), and that consistency will always have him as a popular bet in this market.
Kyle Larson (+500)
Kyle Larson is the defending NASCAR champion, but he hasn't won in nearly a year.
However, he's getting closer, running third and second in consecutive weeks heading into Talladega.
