The NASCAR Cup Series will finish out the Round of 12 in many team’s backyard, as the Charlotte Motor Speedway Road Course will be the site of the Bank of America ROVAL 400 this weekend.

Last season, AJ Allmendinger spoiled the playoff party with a win, outlasting William Byron and Kyle Busch. He’s only racing part-time in the Cup Series in 2024, but he’s returning this weekend to try and reclaim his crown in North Carolina, and the competition is stiffer than ever.

Looking ahead, FanDuel Sportsbook tried to make sense of the competition, providing betting lines for the entire field to win the Bank of American ROVAL 400. Check them out below, as the Cup Series will bring the Round of 8 to a close on Sunday evening.

Shane Van Gisbergen (+700)

Shane Van Gisbergen looked far from out of place during this past weekend’s trip to Talladega. While superspeedway racing isn’t exactly his forte, SVG was leading for a bit and drew rave reviews from Chevy teammate Chase Elliott as a pusher as well, as he continues to get acclimated to NASCAR’s more traditional tracks.

The road course racing superstar hasn’t yet raced at the Roval in the Cup Series, so it’s a testament to his abilities that he’s the favorite at the moment. He was a late addition to the field, but SVG will be looking to continue striking fear into his peer each time he suits up for a road course on Sunday afternoon.

AJ Allmendinger was contending for the win at Talladega before an ill-timed pit stop and subsequent wreck ruined his momentum. The veteran wheelman went from fighting for a surprising victory to finishing P28 on the afternoon instead.

In four tries at the Roval, Allmendinger has three finishes within the top seven, with a win in last season’s iteration of the race. While SVG gets a lot of praise as a road course racing savant, Allmendinger knows a thing or two as well, and he’ll be looking to defend his crown from all competitors in Charlotte.

Kyle Larson (+900)

Kyle Larson doesn’t always have great luck at tracks like Talladega, but the Hendrick Motorsports star got through “The Big One” unscathed. He had a chance to get the win in Alabama, but he still finished with a more than solid P4 on the afternoon, something he’ll sign up for over and over again.

Moving ahead to the Roval, Larson has a win at the track in the past, which came back during the 2021 iteration of the race. He’s all but locked into the Round of 8, but he’ll still be looking to avoid disaster on Sunday afternoon.

William Byron (+1100)

William Byron has continually turned it on throughout the playoffs after an up-and-down summer. Talladega saw him get back to the podium, as Byron brought the No. 24 to P3 when the checkered flag waved in Alabama.

Byron came close to winning at the Roval last season, but he came in second to AJ Allmendinger. H’es only finished worse than P16 once in six tries at the track, so there’s plenty of merit for the Hendrick star to continue his successful ways in Charlotte.

Christopher Bell (+1300)

Christopher Bell has seemingly mastered the art of capturing solid finishes at superspeedway races. Once again, Bell avoided wrecks throughout the afternoon, and while he wasn’t able to fight for the win, the Joe Gibbs Racing star put himself in tremendous position to advance to the Round of 8 with a P6 finish.

This will be the fifth time racing at the Roval for Bell. He’s won at the track in the past, back in 2022, so there’s some merit for the Joe Gibbs Racing wheelman to have success on Sunday afternoon.

Tyler Reddick (+1300)

After winning the spring race at Talladega, many had confidence that Tyler Reddick could repeat over the weekend. It wasn’t meant to be for the No. 45 wheelman, as Reddick came home P20 at a track he’s usually better at.

While Reddick hasn’t won at the Roval, it’s become one of his better tracks in the Cup Series. He’s never finished below P12 in four tries, and he actually came home P2 back in 2021, while racing for Richard Childress Racing.

Chris Buescher (+1400)

Chris Buescher is beginning to gain a reputation as one of the more solid superspeedway racers in the Cup Series. He won Stage 1 over the weekend, but it his day went downhill afterwards, as the RFK Racing wheelman ended up finished P17 in Alabama.

While Buescher’s time at the Roval started slow, with three straight finishes below P17, he’s been phenomenal in his last three tries, not finishing below P7 since 2021. Perhaps this is the time he finally breaks through with a win at the track.

Chase Elliott (+1500)

Chase Elliott was leading a bit during the YellaWood 500, but the Hendrick Motorsports star was collected in “The Big One” on Sunday afternoon. His car looked beautiful with his baby blue Kelly Blue Book paint scheme, but it got torn up as he finished P29 on the day.

While Talladega didn’t end up being kind to Elliott, the Roavl has been in the past. He has two wins, which came in 2019 and 2020, and he’s only finished below P12 once in six attempts in Charlotte.

Alas, a playoff driver might not win at the Roval, but there’s still plenty on the line as the Cup Series returns to Charlotte. We’ll see if a non-playoff driver like Shane Van Gisbergen or AJ Allmendinger is victorious, or if someone like Kyle Larson or Ryan Blaney locks themselves into the Round of 8 with a win.
