NASCAR Cup Series favorites
Kyle Larson (+550)
Kyle Larson hasn't had a bad 2026, per se, but one Top 5 through seven races does not a Cup Series champion make.
If he wasn't the defending NASCAR champion, he probably wouldn't be getting this kind of love in the market right now.
Denny Hamlin (+550)
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.
