NASCAR Cup Series odds movement
-
The gap has increased significantly between Tyler Reddick (+450 to +350) and Denny Hamlin (+450 to +600) over the last month.
-
Joey Logano (+1100 to +1500) has grown longer in this market as he’s fallen to 18th in the points standings.
NASCAR Cup Series favorites
Tyler Reddick (+350)
While Tyler Reddick’s pace has slowed down with “only” two wins over his last 10 races following a 3-for-3 start, he’s still leaps and bounds ahead in the points standings.
Not only has the No. 45 driver not recorded any DNFs this season, but he’s yet to miss the Top 20. It would take a stunning collapse for him to miss the postseason.

Denny Hamlin (+600)
Denny Hamlin is a clear-cut leader in laps led (624) through 12 races. He’s got only one win so far, but he’s had a couple of wins “stolen” late by Chase Elliott.
Factoring out road courses and superspeedways, Hamlin has hit the Top 10 in all but one race in 2026.
Kyle Larson (+700)
Kyle Larson is the defending NASCAR champion, but he hasn’t won in over a year.
However, he’s led 499 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.
