The surviving drivers have one race left to find themselves within the Top 4 of the points standings... and a spot in the NASCAR Championship.
With the second Round-of-8 race in the books, here are the latest odds to win the NASCAR Cup Series.

NASCAR Cup Series favorites
After a small stumble (at least by his standards) in the Round of 12, Kyle Larson (+150) claimed victory in each of the past three races to bolster his NASCAR points lead. Larson has dominated the Cup Series all season, leading all drivers with nine wins and 19 Top-5 finishes. He's finished seventh or better in nine of his last 11 races, so he just continues to set the standard for excellence in 2021.
While Larson is the clear favorite, Chase Elliot (+350) has had a great season himself. He's won twice this year, and has racked up 14 Top-5 finishes and 20 Top-10 finishes. Elliot finished second at the Hollywood Casino 400 this past weekend catapluting himself into second place in the standings.
Denny Hamlin (+400) has had a great playoff push and refuses to go quietly. Hamlin hadn't won a race in the 2021 season... then the playoffs happened. He's already claimed two victories in seven postseason races and has finished inside the Top 10 in all but one race.
Moving into the top half of the remaining odds board is Martin Truex Jr. (+800). Treux Jr. finished seventh at the Hollywood Casino 400 and has put together a solid season to this point with four wins, 11 Top-5 finishes, and 18 Top-10 finishes.
One last notable is Ryan Blaney, who has fallen out of the top betting favorites after the Hollywood Casino 400. A week ago, he sat second on both the Cup Series odds board as well as in the Cup Standings, but after not finishing the race in Kansas, drops to fifth in the Cup Standings, and sixth here on the odds board.
