Favorites to win Ruoff Mortgage 500

Kyle Larson (+350)

After a disappointing 32-place finish in the high-variance Daytona 500, Larson has picked up right where he left off last season, winning the Auto Club 400 before a second-place finish in last weekend's Pennzoil 400. He finished seventh in the Phoenix spring race last season, while ultimately winning the Cup Series championship on this track in November. 

Martin Truex Jr. (+700)

The defending champ in this race, Truex gets to ride shotgun on the odds table as one of the second-favorites. His second-place finish at Phoenix in the Cup Series final only bolsters his strong recent track record here (pun intended) and provides a confident spot for him to bounce back, having posted zero Top-5 finishes thus far in 2022.

Kyle Busch (+700)

2019 Ruoff (then known as the TicketGuardian 500) champ, Busch finds himself as the other second-favorite, posting a string of solid finishes so far this season. Busch was a disappointing 25th in this race last year, but that was his first finish outside the Top 5 in this event since 2014, making him a fairly safe bet to contend in Phoenix.

Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin, Chase Elliott (+800)

Rounding out the Top 5, we find a three-way tie between 2020 event champ Joey Logano, 2020 Cup Series champ Chase Elliott, and Denny Hamlin, who has posted no Top-10 finishes so far this season and will be looking to reassert himself in the Winner's Circle.
