NASCAR Cup Series odds movement
- Denny Hamlin (+600 to +225) has seen a dramatic move in price after two straight wins where he looked dominant at times.
- Christopher Bell (+700 to +900) and William Byron (+800 to +1100) have been mostly mediocre on track over the last few weeks, and that's reflected in their recent shift in odds.
NASCAR Cup Series favorites
Denny Hamlin (+225)
Denny Hamlin is a clear-cut leader in laps led (796) through 15 races.
He was struggling to seal the deal late in races in 2026 with just one win through 13 races, but he's put it all together now with back-to-back checkered flags.

Tyler Reddick (+350)
Tyler Reddick is on a season-long six-race losing streak, but he still enjoys a significant cushion in the standings over Hamlin.
The No. 45 driver recorded his first DNF this season at Michigan on June 7. It would take a stunning collapse for him to miss the postseason.
Kyle Larson (+650)
Kyle Larson is the defending NASCAR champion, but he hasn't won in over a year.
However, he's led 573 laps this season, so it's not like he isn't bringing fast cars to the track every week.
If there's any driver that seems "due" for a run of good luck in the second half of the season, it's the No. 5 pilot.
