Last weekend saw the Round of 16 in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs come to an end, with the field now down to 12. We now have 3 more races to come before the next cut, which will take the number down to 8. It’s all about amassing enough points to stay alive and move on, but every driver will also be well aware that a win is an automatic ticket into the next round, which always makes for an exciting battle. This weekend, we see the action shift to the Texas Motor Speedway for the running of the AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400, the first race in the Round of 12. The bookies have released the odds for this one, so let’s take a look at some of the drivers who might make an impact the NASCAR odds in Texas.

Denny Hamlin
While he didn’t need to win to make it to this point in the postseason, Hamlin still went out and got the win in the final race of the Round of 16. It may well have been that victory that propelled Hamlin to the top of the bookies board for this race, but I’m not so sure it’s where he should be. Over the last 2 seasons in Texas, Hamling finished 10th and 11th, respectively, which does not really inspire me with a whole deal of confidence when thinking about taking him to win this weekend. That said, he has been top 2 in the last 2 races, so perhaps his current form could lead to a better showing in the Lone Star State.

Kyle Larson
In any sport, the goal is simply to get to the playoffs, as you just never know what will happen when you get in. Kyle Larson had a bit of an up and down regular season, but he has upped the ante in the playoffs, finishing in the top 5 in all 3 races, which includes a pair of podium finishes in that mix. That form suggests he could be a real threat this Sunday, but you also have to consider that he won this race back in the 2021 season, which just so happened to be the year that he won the Cup Series championship. I think he is a legit threat this weekend and a great bet at these odds.

Tyler Reddick
No matter what happens from this point on, this will still go down as Reddick’s best season in the Cup Series. Prior to this season, he has made the playoffs but failed to move out of the Round of 16. If the next cut were made now, he would be into the final 8 by the skin of his teeth, so being that close to the cut line means that the pressure is on. On a positive note, he won this race in 2022, so he has to be optimistic heading into the weekend.

William Byron
There are zero guarantees in racing, but right now, you do have to say that Byron looks to be a good bet to move onto the next round given that he is sitting atop the driver standings. Byron has 4 wins this season, and with a 2nd place finish in Texas a couple of years ago, this might be the track where he could get his first win in the playoffs.
