Another week in the books in the Cup Series and another new leader at the top of the driver standings, with Chase Elliott back in the top spot.
This has been the way things have gone all season, so you have to wonder how many more lead changes we will see before the field is cut down for the Round of 16 in the playoffs.
Betting NASCAR Odds this Weekend, Favorites at Brickyard 400 | |
| 1. Denny Hamlin | 683 points | |

| 4. Ryan Blaney | 627 points | |
| 3. Brad Keselowski | 599 points | |
Let’s look at the current odds for this race.
^Denny Hamlin NASCAR betting Pick +380
Over the past few years, this event has been held on the road course, but this weekend it’s back to the oval for the first time since 2020.
That might be good news for Denny Hamlin, given that he has had a couple of top 5 finishes on this track in his last 3 runs there.
That said, as much as I like to look at a driver’s history on a specific track, you also need to look at the current form.
Hamlin has been on a bit of a rough patch of late, but he may have broken out of that with a 2nd place run at Pocono last weekend.
I’m still not sure if he can repeat that. He might be worth a top 5 look.

Kyle Larson NASCAR betting Pick +600
Larson has spent a fair amount of time at the top of the driver standings this season, but he is now just a few points behind Elliott at the top.
We do have to keep in mind, though, that he has had one less race than the rest of the pack.
He has also had a rough time of it over the last couple of weeks, failing to crack the top 10 in the last 2 races.
His last 2 runs on this track have not been great, but again, those came several years ago.
Larson can never be counted out and could be a good top 3 pick this weekend.
^Ryan Blaney NASCAR betting Pick +760
After going a long stretch without a win this season, Blaney has suddenly come to life, winning twice in the last 5 races, including a checkered flag at Pocono last weekend.
He has been in the top 10 in 5 of the last 6 races, so this is a guy that is very much on an upward swing right now.
He will want to keep that rolling as he looks to move up from his current spot in 7th.
I think he is more of a top 5 pick here than a potential winner.
^Brad Keselowski NASCAR betting Pick +810
Whenever I see a driver that we haven’t discussed much this season suddenly appear among the favorites for the next race, my interest is always piqued.
Keselowski is down in 9th in the driver standings, and while he hasn’t exactly set the world on fire this season, he does have a win to his name, with that one coming in Darlington.
He is also one of the few drivers who has won on this track, which makes him very dangerous.
I might just be tempted to play Keselowski to win.
