NASCAR Cup Series Championship odds: Betting lines updated after Las Vegas

The odds for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series title have been updated following the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway over the weekend.

Kyle Larson made it back-to-back wins in Sin City, as he backed up his win last fall in Las Vegas with a dominating performance over the weekend. Tyler Reddick made it interesting over the final stage, but the Hendrick Motorsports star showed the world why he’s such a talented driver over the course of a statement-making afternoon.

Elsewhere, some other major contenders had solid performances, like Ryan Blaney, Ross Chastain and William Byron securing top ten finishes on the afternoon. As the campaign moves to Phoenix this weekend, here are the updated NASCAR Cup Series title odds, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.

Kyle Larson (+550)

Kyle Larson officially clinched his spot in the Cup Series playoffs at Las Vegas. He was in command of the race for almost the entire afternoon, and in the end he captured the checkered flag, celebrating with his family on the track.

The Hendrick star will now turn his attention to Phoenix, where he was able to win the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series title with a victory at the track. He seems to be the driver to beat this season, and that’s reflected in FanDuel’s odds.

William Byron (+550)

William Byron battled all day long to secure a top ten finish in Las Vegas. It wasn’t an easy day for the Hendrick Motorsports star, but he proved that even in tough conditions, he can get the job done.

The last time Byron was at Phoenix, he was hoping to capture his first NASCAR Cup Series title, and he looked to have the car to beat. Alas, it went away as the race went on, so Byron will be hoping to learn some lessons for a potential Championship 4 appearance in November.

Denny Hamlin (+800)

Denny Hamlin was far from satisfied with his P8 performance on Sunday. The Joe Gibbs Racing wheelman believed he had a car that should’ve finished at least in the top three, but he’ll take the top ten after a rough start to the season.

In the past, Hamlin’s won at Phoenix twice, so he’ll be hoping to clinch his spot in the playoffs this weekend. Regardless, he’s expected to be a part of the dance, and have a shot at his first title in the Cup Series.

Chase Elliott (+800)

Chase Elliott has started his rebound campaign in solid fashion, even if he’s been slightly overshadowed by the aforementioned Larson and Byron. Even though he didn’t have the speed to run up front at Las Vegas, Elliott came home with a P12 finish on the afternoon.

Still, the sport’s most popular driver is hoping to get back to Victory Lane sooner rather than later. He won the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series title at Phoenix, so it’s a fitting track to complete his comeback, if he’s to get it done this weekend.

Ryan Blaney (+1100)

The reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion is off to a fantastic start on the season. While his luck ran out in Daytona, he came within seconds of winning in Atlanta, and came home P3 in Las Vegas.

Now, he’ll look to clinch his spot in the playoffs back at Phoenix, where he celebrated in the desert last season. The Team Penske wheelman has entered the upper echelon of drivers, and he’s looking to stay there in search of back-to-back titles.

Christopher Bell (+1100)

Christopher Bell had some rough luck in Las Vegas after a blistering start to the 2024 campaign. The Joe Gibbs Racing wheelman came home with a P33 finish, which he was far from satisfied with.

Phoenix hasn’t been good to Bell, especially during his trips to the Championship 4 over the last two seasons. However, there’s some solid tracks for him coming up in the schedule, as he looks to prove he belongs among the best in the sport.

Joey Logano (+1200)

The two-time NASCAR Cup Series champion has been incredible in qualifying, but luck hasn’t been on his side come race day. Joey Logano at least was able to secure a top ten in Las Vegas though, after wrecking in Daytona and Atlanta.

Phoenix is where Logano was able to win the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series title. The Team Penske wheelman has been fantastic at the track, and will look for a more complete weekend during the fourth week of the season.

Martin Truex Jr. (+1400)

Martin Truex Jr. has had a relatively quiet start to the 2024 Cup Series campaign, but he can dominate a race at any turn. Phoenix is one of those tracks he’s pulled off a caper in the past, so it slots in as the perfect track for him to assert his dominance.

He came home P7 in Las Vegas, just missing out on a top five. The Mayetta, New Jersey native will be looking to get back to the driving style that made his last year’s regular season champion over the next couple of weeks.

Brad Keselowski (+1400)

The former NASCAR Cup Series champion hasn’t been able to replace last season’s success in 2024 thus far. Whether it’s bad luck or some miscalculations, Brad Keselowski isn’t off to the start he expected during this season’s campaign.

Nevertheless, a P13 finish in Las Vegas was encouraging, even if his teammate Chris Buescher came home with a DNF. The RFK Racing wheelman and team co-owner has a lot on his plate, but when he finally captures his first win in the No. 6 and clinches his playoff spot, it’ll be a huge weight lifted off his shoulders. Perhaps Phoenix is the spot.
