NASCAR 2024 Cup Series Championship: Betting lines for the entire field to win at Phoenix Raceway

The stage has been set for the Championship 4, and the NASCAR Cup Series will crown their 2024 champion during this weekend’s race at Phoenix Raceway.

Following a controversial finish at Martinsville Speedway this past weekend, it’ll be Tyler Reddick, Joey Logano, Ryan Blaney and William Byron duking it out for the honor of being the top driver for this year’s campaign. Byron and Logano have wins at the track, while Reddick and Blaney haven’t been to Victory Lane, but the latter did win last season’s title with a P2 finish to Ross Chastain.

As highlighted during 2023’s trip to Phoenix Raceway for the title-deciding race, the champion does not have to win in Arizona to be crowned. The entire field will still be racing their butts off, and DraftKings Sportsbook has us covered with lines for each driver. Check them out below, before the finale of the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series season gets underway.

Ryan Blaney (+400)

For the second-straight season, Ryan Blaney won his way into the Championship 4 at Martinsville. He didn’t dominate the race, but he was the car to beat on the long-run, and he capped off the final stage by chasing down Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson. Now, he’ll race to defend his title.

It’s easy to see why Blaney is the odds-on favorite to win the title at Phoenix. While he didn’t win the race in 2023, he came in P2 to Ross Chastain, and that was the best of all his fellow Championship 4 wheelmen. If he wins back-to-back championships, he’ll continue authoring an incredible story in the Cup Series.

Christopher Bell (+500)

Christopher Bell might be motivated to spoil the Championship 4 party at Phoenix Raceway on Sunday. After all that transpired this past weekend at Martinsville Speedway, nobody would blame him for being a bit annoyed with his situation.

Instead of racing for the title once again, Bell’s tremendous season can only end with a fifth-place finish at best in the point standings. Still, he can sweep the season in Arizona in 2024, if he’s able to follow up his spring victory with another this coming Sunday.

William Byron (+600)

William Byron had to wait about a half hour to know if he was headed to the Championship 4 after Martinsville, but the No. 24 will race for the title at Phoenix Raceway for the second-straight season. He came up short in 2023, but he performed well until the final stage. He’ll be looking to deliver Hendrick Motorsports another title this time around.

The No. 24 wheelman has won at Phoenix before, so there’s some merit to him getting the job done. He went to Victory Lane in March of 2023, and if he can return there, he’ll leave a champion this time around.

Joey Logano (+650)

Joey Logano was in the midst of a disappointing 2024 when the summer months began to roll around, and then the veteran wheelman flipped a switch. Now, after an Alex Bowman disqualification and a win at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the two-time Cup Series champion has an opportunity to make it three titles in his career.

Logano has proven to shine when the lights are brightest and the pressure is on, and this coming weekend will be no different. Bet against the No. 22 Ford wheelman at your own risk, as he’ll look to continue proving his detractors wrong in Arizona.

Tyler Reddick (+750)

Tyler Reddick was thanking his lucky stars he won at Homestead-Miami Speedway, as he didn’t have a car to compete at Martinsville this past weekend. How much of that was Reddick’s team looking ahead to Phoenix remains to be seen, and whether it pays off or not will be the question answered in Arizona.

Regardless, Reddick is the newbie in the Championship 4, as all three other drivers racing for the title at Phoenix Raceway have dealt with the pomp and circumstance before. The regular season champion is a bit of an unknown coming into the weekend in that sense. He’s performed well at Phoenix in the past, but he’s never won in Arizona, finishing third twice in nine races at the track.

Kyle Larson (+800)

Kyle Larson won seven races in 2024, and he’ll be hoping to win his eighth on Sunday afternoon. Still, it stings that he’s not a part of the Championship 4, even though he had a shot late in the race at Martinsville, leading as the laps continued to wind down in Virginia.

In the end, his third-place finish simply wasn’t enough to get the job done. Larson has performed well at Phoenix in the past, and an eighth win would still be something sweet for his Hendrick Motorsports team to enjoy in Arizona.

Denny Hamlin (+1200)

Another season will go by without Denny Hamlin standing tall at the end of it all. The Joe Gibbs Racing wheelman will continue chasing his first NASCAR Cup Series title, as he came up just short at Martinsville over the weekend.

Hamlin looked primed to strike in Virginia, but a crash in practice coupled with not being able to match the speed of Ryan Blaney and the Hendrick Motorsports cars doomed him. He finished P5 on the afternoon when the dust settled, and Hamlin will be hoping to finish strong at Phoenix this weekend.

Chase Elliott (+1400)

Chase Elliott gave it all he could at Martinsville, but he came up just short, finishing second to one of his best friends in Ryan Blaney. The No. 9 Chevrolet was simply no match for the No. 12 Ford on the long run, and Elliott never got a green-white-checkered to be able to bump and bang for a chance at the win.

Regardless, 2024 has been a great bounce-back season for Elliott, who’s been arguably the most consistent wheelman week-in and week-out. However, it hasn’t always ended up with him in Victory Lane, so gaining a second win on the season could give the Hendrick Motorsports star some much needed momentum for next season.

Betting lines for Phoenix Raceway continued:

• Ross Chastain (+1600)
• Martin Truex Jr. (+2200)
• Ty Gibbs (+3000)
• Kyle Busch (+3500)
• Chase Briscoe (+3500)

• John Hunter Nemechek (+25000)
• Todd Gilliland (+30000)
• Erik Jones (+30000)
• Corey LaJoie (+30000)
• Zane Smith (+35000)
• Justin Haley (+50000)
• Jimmie Johnson (+50000)
• Harrison Burton (+50000)
• Kaz Grala (+100000)
• JJ Yeley (+100000)
• Derek Kraus (+100000)
• Daniel Hemric (+100000)
• Chad Finchum (+100000)

As you can tell, the Championship 4 will be heavily favored in Sunday’s race, but there’s a bevy of other drivers who have reasons to win in Arizona, like Martin Truex Jr. racing in his final start, and Kyle Larson looking for his seventh win of 2024. Regardless, we’ll have a winner and a champion at the end of the race at Phoenix Raceway, and it’s more than likely it’ll be the same person, but not guaranteed.
