NASCAR Cup Series Championship odds: Betting lines updated after Coca-Cola 600

The odds for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series title have been updated following the rain-shortened Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway over Memorial Day weekend.

Christopher Bell was the beneficiary of another Nature’s wrath, as he captured the victory at Charlotte due to the rain choosing not to cooperate with NASCAR. In addition to shortening the Coca-Cola 600, the rain also thwarted Kyle Larson’s plan of running the double on Sunday, as he never even got to run a lap in Charlotte after arriving just as the rain came. 

Moving onto next weekend, the NASCAR Cup Series is hoping for the rain to stay away from Gateway Motorsports Park, as we’ll be racing in Madison, Illinois. As the campaign continues forward, here are the full updated NASCAR Cup Series title odds, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.

Denny Hamlin (+450)

Another week, another top five finish for Denny Hamlin. While he would’ve loved to get back to victory lane in Charlotte, Hamlin continues to be one of NASCAR’s more consistent drivers, as he finished P5 on Sunday evening.

As the Cup Series returns to World Wide Technology Raceway, Hamlin will be looking to avenge his P2 finish from last season. He already has enough wins to last until the Cup Series playoffs begin, but the No. 11 will be trophy hunting throughout the summer.

Kyle Larson (+450)

Kyle Larson made it to Charlotte Motor Speedway, but it was too little, too late. He never got to race in the Coca-Cola 600 due to his prior obligations, running the Indianapolis 500 earlier on Sunday afternoon.

Thankfully, Larson can forget about it all and turn his attention to World Wide Technology Raceway this weekend. He came home P4 at the track last season, so there’s some merit to believing he’ll have another strong showing this weekend.

William Byron (+500)

William Byron had an impressive showing during the Coca-Cola 600. He completed his own version of the pass in the grass, which brought the crowd to their feet, and he would’ve had something for Christopher Bell if it weren’t for the rain, but the No. 24 was still happy with a P3 finish.

Last season at World Wide Technology Raceway, Byron finished with a top ten, coming home P8. He’s looking to establish himself as a favorite week-in and week-out, and a win would do that for the No. 24 at Gateway.

Christopher Bell (+850)

While many groaned when they saw the rain at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Christopher Bell wasn’t one of those people. The Joe Gibbs Racing wheelman took the lead and was able to keep it, eventually hoisting the trophy when NASCAR called the Coca-Cola 600.

Can Bell make it back-to-back wins with a victory at World Wide Technology Raceway? Time will tell, but the No. 20 came home P11 last season at the track, so he’ll have a shot at winning in Illinois over the weekend.

Chase Elliott (+900)

Chase Elliott wanted to win the Coca-Cola 600, but he didn’t get a shot at battling the leaders for the win due to the rain. However, he can take solace in the fact that he captured a solid result, finishing P7 on the evening.

The fans in Illinois have been dying to see Elliott, as he missed last season’s race. The No. 9 wheelman was suspended due to an altercation with Denny Hamlin, so Elliott will be looking for some vengeance in 2024 at the track.

Martin Truex Jr. (+1100)

Martin Truex Jr. is always a name thrown out there to potentially dominate when it comes to Charlotte Motor Speedway, but that wasn’t the case for the No. 19 on Sunday. Still, he finished P12, which is more than commendable.

Last season, Truex Jr. finished P5 at World Wide Technology Raceway. He’s still looking to secure his first win of 2024, so we’ll see if the No. 19 wheelman can get the job done and secure his spot in the playoffs.

Ryan Blaney (+1200)

Ryan Blaney couldn’t defend his Coca-Cola 600 crown on Sunday, and it was a disastrous evening for the No. 12. The reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion finished P39 on the evening, a DNF ruining Blaney’s Memorial Day weekend.

Now, it’ll be up to Blaney to shake it off at World Wide Technology Raceway. He finished P6 at the track last season, so the Team Penske wheelman will certainly be among the more popular choices to win this weekend.

Tyler Reddick (+1200)

Tyler Reddick continues to ramp up the consistency on his 2024 campaign. The 23XI Racing wheelman brought the No. 45 home P4 during the Coca-Cola 600, after battling for the lead for much of the evening.

At World Wide Technology Raceway last season, Reddick didn’t finish the race, ending up P35 due to a DNF. That would be a disastrous result for Reddick this season, so the No. 45 wheelman will be looking for some better luck on Sunday.
