Hollywood Casino 400: Race Odds, Top 3 to Win & Final Pick in the Cup Series

The first round of the Cup Series playoffs is over, with 12 drivers moving on to the next stage of the proceedings.

With his win last weekend in the final race of the Round of 16, Kyle Larson is back on top of the driver standings, but when it comes to the playoffs, you need to forget about the last race and focus on the next.

4. Christopher Bell | 3032 points

My Cup Series Hollywood Casino 400 Analysis

Each of the remaining drivers will be more than well aware that a single win means an automatic berth in the Round of 8, so you can bet that they will all be pushing for that checkered flag this weekend.

The next race up is the Hollywood Casino 400, which will go off at 3 PM EST this coming Sunday, so let’s take a look at some of the drivers who should be in the hunt.

Kyle Larson +350

It’s always good to get a win, but when it comes to the playoffs, taking that checkered flag becomes all the more important.

Kyle Larson would have made it to the Round of 12 regardless of last weekend’s result, but winning the final race in the opening round was still sweet, plus it put him on top of the driver standings.

At this point, it would be nothing short of shocking for him not to move on again, but he would still like to get the win that would give him an automatic berth in the next round.

He won in Kansas earlier this season, so it’s tough to be against him here.

Denny Hamlin +400

Over the years, Hamlin has had some very close calls, but he has yet to win his first Cup Series championship.

He is very much in the hunt again this season, although he would love to move up from his current 6th position, and this might well be the track where he can make that happen.

This is a track that he seems to love, as he has been on the podium in 3 of his last 4 runs in Kansas, which includes a win and a pair of 2nd place finishes in this particular race.

He is a very good bet to land in the top 3.

Tyler Reddick +700

After going out in the Round of 8 last season, you get the sense that Reddick came into 2024 looking to take care of some unfinished business.

Thus far, things are going relatively well, but he will be looking to snap out of a bit of a slump that has seen him finish well off the pace in each of the last 2 races.

He did win this race last season, so while Reddick’s form might not be much to write home about at the moment, I would not count him out of this race.

Christopher Bell +1000

This is only the 5th full season in the Cup Series for Bell, but he is already knocking on the door of winning it all.

He had made it to the Championship Round in each of the last 2 seasons, coming up short both times, but with that kind of consistency, you do get the feeling that it is only a matter of time before he gets his first title.

Bell has had a pair of top 5 finishes in then playoffs this season and has been consistent in Kansas, which makes him a good top 5 pick here.

The Cup Series Playoffs have begun, with the first race in the Round of 16 already in the books. There are 2 more races to come before we get to the next cut, with the first of those races coming this Sunday at the Kansas Motor Speedway. The only driver who can really relax at the moment is Kyle Larson, as he has already punched his ticket into the next round with his win last weekend. While the pressure is off for now, he will still want to keep building some momentum that could potentially lead to another championship. As always, though, there is going to be some stiff competition at the Hollywood Casino 400, but who will come out on top? Let’s take a quick look at who the bookies have atop their board for this race to consider in your Cup Series betting odds.

Denny Hamlin

Over the last 4 seasons, Hamlin has made it to the final four on 3 separate occasions, while just missing out in the other. He has come close to a championship so many times but has been unable to get over the top and get that final win. He is very much in the hunt again this season and looks like a good bet to move on to the next round this weekend given how good he has been on this Kansas track. He finished 2nd in this race in the 2022 season, while winning at Kansas earlier this year. I’d definitely be prepared to take a shot at him at these odds.

Kyle Larson

As we mentioned at the top of this piece, Larson has already secured his spot in the Round of 12 with his win last weekend. This sport, like so many others, is all about momentum when it comes to the playoffs, so look for him to try and build on that win with another strong performance on Sunday in Kansas. While he finished outside the top 5 in this race last season, he did have a 2nd place run in Kansas earlier this year. I’m not so sure he will go out and make it back-to-back wins this weekend, but a top 5 finish looks to be a good bet.

Martin Truex Jr.

If we are going to talk about momentum, then we need to talk about drivers heading in the wrong direction, which is what seems to be happening with Truex Jr. at the moment. His last 2 performances have not been great, and while he will almost certainly survive the upcoming cut, he does need to snap out of his current form and get back up among the leaders in these big races. The good news is that he has been in the top 10 in each of his last 2 races in Kansas, so perhaps he can deliver something better this weekend.

William Byron

You have to say that Byron is picking up some steam as we head deeper into the playoffs, coming into this race on a run that has seen him have 3 straight top 10 finishes, which includes a win at Watkins Glen a few short weeks ago. This is his 3rd straight foray into the postseason, and he has progressed well with each passing year, culminating in a 6th place overall finish in 2022. He will, of course, be looking for better this year, which looks to be possible given that he is 2nd overall right now.
