DuraMAX Drydene 400 pre-race favorites

Kyle Larson (+450)

Larson led last year's Drydene 400 for the most laps, ultimately finishing second. The defending Cup Series champion has had a very up-and-down 2022 thus far, finishing 19th or worse in five of this season's 10 races, and Top 5 in the other five, including a win in the Wise Power 400.

Larson's Hendrick Motorsports team swept the Top 4 in this race last year, and represents all of the Top 4 on this year's pre-race odds board.

William Byron (+900)

With two wins among four Top 5s on the young campaign, Byron's looking like a new Cup Series contender, and had a fourth-place finish in this race last year, bolstering his prospects for continued success this weekend.

Chase Elliott (+900)

Elliott's been consistent if unspectacular so far this season. While he leads the overall points standings, he also has just one Top 5 despite seven Top-10 finishes. Elliott's one of the circuit's most prolific drivers and will find his way into contention eventually, finishing third in this race last year.

Alex Bowman (+1,000)

Bringing up the rear of the HMS quartet is Bowman, despite being the reigning Drydene champ. Bowman also has a win this season in Vegas, along with a runner-up at COTA, currently sitting fifth overall in the Cup Series standings.

Five tied at +1,200

Lagging behind the HMS favorites at +1,200 are five of NASCAR's brightest stars: Ryan Blaney, Martin Truex Jr, Joey Logano, Kevin Harvick, and Denny Hamlin.
