It’s a Mother’s Day treat this weekend, as the NASCAR Cup Series is headed to Darlington Raceway on Sunday for the Goodyear 400, and betting lines for the entire field to win have been released.

Last season’s winner of the spring race was William Byron, who’s looking to bounce back after a tough performance at Kansas. However, his teammate Kyle Larson left Kansas City as the victor, and he was also the winner of the last time the Cup Series ventured to Darlington, which was last fall.

It should be an awesome race regardless, with some big names looking for their first win of the season, coinciding with a trip to a track where it should be a wide-open event. Here are the full betting line for the Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.

Kyle Larson (+450)

Kyle Larson has been close to numerous wins throughout 2024, and he’s still managed to accumulate his fair share of trophies. By virtue of the closest finish in NASCAR Cup Series history, Larson won at Kansas, a highlight that’ll live on for generations.

Larson will have a chance to continue his winning ways this weekend. He won the last time the Cup Series traveled to Darlington, which was in the playoffs last fall.

Denny Hamlin (+550)

Everyone is talking about Kyle Larson and Chris Buescher’s battle for the win, but it was Denny Hamlin in the best position during most of the final stage. However, a late yellow and trouble on the final restart took the win away from him, but Hamlin will take a P5 finish.

Ahead of this weekend’s race at Darlington, it’s a track the No. 11 wheelman knows well. He didn’t run too great there in 2023, but Hamlin has four wins at the track, with the last one coming in 2021.

Martin Truex Jr. (+700)

Without the late restart that bunched up the field, Martin Truex Jr. looked like he was going to catch and pass Denny Hamlin for the win at Kansas. Instead, the No. 19 decided to take four tires on his final stop, starting him further back in the field, but Truex Jr. still salvaged a P4 finish.

He’s still looking for his first win of 2024, but Truex Jr. has won at Darlington twice, in 2016 and 2021. Some would say he’s more than due, and what better track to get back to victory lane at than this one.

William Byron (+850)

William Byron had success at Kansas during previous seasons, but Sunday’s race wasn’t his strongest effort. The No. 24 finished P23 on the afternoon, a disappointing finish at a track where he’s usually strong.

Alas, a strong bounce-back could be on the way for the No. 24. He was the victor during last season’s spring race at Darlington, so Byron will be hoping to add another trophy to his list on Mother’s Day.

Tyler Reddick (+850)

Tyler Reddick has proven to be among the elite in NASCAR, but Sunday’s race at Kansas was nothing to write home about. The No. 45 came home P20 on the afternoon, not a strong day at a track he usually runs well at.

Historically, Darlington has been a tremendous track for Reddick. He’s finished P2 twice, and P3 once in South Carolina. Perhaps that win that’s eluded him will come on Mother’s Day for the No. 45 wheelman.

Christopher Bell (+1000)

After some tough luck over the last month, Christopher Bell rebounded nicely at Kansas. The Joe Gibbs Racing wheelman was able to secure a P6 finish, as it looks like he’s finding his groove once again. 

He’ll be looking for another strong performance at Darlington. Bell hasn’t run historically well there, only finishing in the top five once (fall 2022), so we’ll see if the No. 20 wheelman can turn his fortunes around in South Carolina.

Ross Chastain (+1300)

His ride has been looking snazzy throughout the 2024 campaign, and Ross Chastain is starting to put together some impressive performances. He led a bunch of laps at Kansas, but the No. 1 wasn’t able to become a factor when it was all said and done.

Darlington has been a difficult track for Chastain in the past, as he’s finished P28 or worse at the track five times. However, he does have a P3 and a P5 finish, the latter coming last season, so there’s precedent for him to punch above his weight class and get the job done.

Chase Elliott (+1400)

While Kyle Larson and Chris Buescher battled it out for the win, Chase Elliott was able to get to the podium at Kansas. The former NASCAR Cup Series champion came home P3, a strong evening for the Hendrick star.

Elliott’s never won at Darlington, but he’s come close on many occasions. He finished P8 and P3 at the track in 2023, so he’s run well the last couple of times the Cup Series has journeyed to the course.

Betting lines for the entire field to win at Darlington continued:

  • Kyle Busch (+1600)
  • Brad Keselowski (+1700)
  • Ty Gibbs (+2400)
  • Ryan Blaney (+2400)
  • Joey Logano (+2600)
  • Chris Buescher (+2600)
  • Bubba Wallace (+2800)
  • Alex Bowman (+3600)
  • Erik Jones (+4400)
  • Noah Gragson (+5500)
  • Chase Briscoe (+9000)
  • Josh Berry (+10000)
  • Daniel Suarez (+10000)
  • Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (+10000)
  • Michael McDowell (+12000)
  • Austin Dillon (+15000)
  • Austin Cindric (+15000)
  • Carson Hocevar (+22000)
  • John Hunter Nemechek (+22000)
  • Ryan Preece (+34000)
  • Todd Gilliland (+34000)
  • Justin Haley (+34000)
  • Corey LaJoie (+34000)
  • Harrison Burton (+34000)
  • Zane Smith (+34000)
  • Daniel Hemric (+50000)
  • Kaz Grala (+50000)
  • Derek Kraus (+50000)

As it usually goes with Darlington, the victory at the track will be one of the more sought-after from the field, so there’ll be plenty of competition in South Carolina this weekend. We’ll see who gets the job done during the Goodyear 400.
