There are a lot of great stories happening in the Cup Series right now, but I think it’s fair to say that the one everyone is keeping an eye on is the Chase Elliott situation. The former champion is essentially behind the 8-ball after missing 7 races this season through injury and suspension. He has been granted a playoff exemption, which means that he can still get in, but time is running out for him to make that happen. We are down to the final 4 races of the regular season, which means that time is running out quickly for Elliott, as well as all the other drivers currently sitting below the cut line. This weekend, the drivers will be in Michigan for the Firekeepers Casino 400, so let’s take a look at our current favorites to consider in your NASCAR betting odds.

Denny Hamlin
NASCAR Betting Pick: +620
The goal of every driver is to walk away at the end of the season as the champion, but it’s all about getting into the playoffs first. Hamlin had a bit of a shaky start to the season, but he has since put things together and comes into this weekend on a very good run of form. He won his second race of the year at the Pocono Raceway a couple of weeks ago, and then followed that up with a 2nd place finish in Richmond last weekend, all of which has helped him move up to 3rd in the driver standings. Hamlin has finished in the top 5 in his last 3 races in Michigan, so well worth a look here.

Kyle Larson
NASCAR Betting Pick: +690
When you compare what Larson is doing this season to how he performed in his championship winning year in 2021, he looks to be well off the pace. The reality, though, is that he is very much in this thing, coming into this weekend sitting 5th overall. His 2 wins this season came close together in the early part of the year, and while he hasn’t won since, he has done a good job of staying in races and racking up points. He has not been great over the last 2 races, and with a 7th place finish in this race last season, I might look elsewhere for the winner.

Kevin Harvick
NASCAR Betting Pick: +810
This is the final season for Harvick, who announced his pending retirement at the start of the year. He would love to go out on a high, and while he seems like a longshot to win it all at this point, it’s all about getting into the playoffs and hopefully making some noise. He has not won a race this season and is having a very similar year to what he did in 2022. If that holds, then we might be looking at the winner of this race, as Harvick won here last season in the first of back-to-back wins that launched him into the playoffs. Could this be the start of a run?

Martin Truex Jr.
NASCAR Betting Pick: +810
Given how things went last season, and his age, where Truex finished 17th and missed out on the playoffs, it seemed like his time in the spotlight might be about to come to an end. Truex has proven all the naysayers wrong, though, and heads into the final month of the regular season on top of the driver standings. He has finished in the top 10 in each of his last 2 races in Michigan, so he might be worth a look as a top 5 finisher on Sunday.
