2025 NASCAR Cup Series Championship odds: Betting lines updated after Dover

The odds for who will stand above the field as the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series champion have been updated following this past weekend’s races at Dover International Speedway.

Denny Hamlin continued his push for his first championship, notching his circuit-leading fourth win of the season last weekend in Delaware. He’s right on Kyle Larson’s tail to become the favorite for the title in 2025. Perhaps he can pass him if he wins another race this weekend in Indiana.

With that in mind, DraftKings Sportsbook has released its updated betting lines for which driver will stand above all at the end of the year as champion after all of the action in Delaware. Here’s where each wheelman stands entering the Brickyard 400 in Indianapolis this coming weekend.

Kyle Larson (+350)

Kyle Larson made an effort to get to P1 in the final laps at Dover, but he couldn’t get past the Joe Gibbs Racing tandem of Denny Hamlin and Chase Briscoe. Still, a P4 finish isn’t anything to scoff at, and the Hendrick Motorsports star will take it after struggling a bit over the past few weeks.

Indianapolis has been a mixed bag for Larson, especially considered his time at the track in IndyCar. He won last season’s race though, so another trip to Indiana that ends in kissing the bricks would be something to behold for the former champion.

Denny Hamlin (+400)

Back to back in Dover for Denny Hamlin. The Joe Gibbs Racing wheelman held off his teammate Chase Briscoe in impressive fashion, notching his fourth win of the season to lead the circuit.

A win in the Brickyard 400 has long eluded Hamlin. His best finish is P3, which came in 2018. Perhaps he can continue his hot streak and kiss the bricks this weekend.

Christopher Bell (+550)

Christopher Bell finished P18 on Sunday after spinning twice. That would sound like an awesome run for many drivers, but the Joe Gibbs Racing wheelman had a car capable of winning. He came up short throughout his time at Dover.

It’s been a minute since Bell has gone to Victory Lane by his standards, so he’s hoping to end his mini-drought at Indianapolis. He finished P4 there last year.

Ryan Blaney (+550)

Ryan Blaney was hoping to bounce back after a rough finish at Sonoma, and the trip back East served him well. The Team Penske wheelman came home with a top ten in P8 at Dover.

Last season, Blaney finished third at the Brickyard. A podium finish is nice, but a win would be better. It would be the former champion’s second in 2025 if he gets it done.

William Byron (+700)

The struggles continue for William Byron. He hasn’t won since his miraculous Daytona 500 victory, and his P31 finish at Dover didn’t inspire any confidence for his No. 24 Chevrolet team.

While Jeff Gordon loved Indianapolis, it’s been hit or miss for Byron. His best finish came in 2019, P4. However, he finished P38 in 2024.

Chase Elliott (+900)

Chase Elliott seemed primed to return to Victory Lane at Dover. A late strategy call to pit instead of staying out changed everything, and the Hendrick Motorsports star never made it back to the front, having to settle for a P6 finish.

Moving ahead of this weekend, Elliott has been good, but not great at the Brickyard. He finished P10 last season, and his best showing in seven tries is P9. 

Tyler Reddick (+1200)

Tyler Reddick had a solid afternoon at Dover, finishing P12. However, it wasn’t enough for him to advance to the finale of the In-Season Challenge, as Ty Gibbs bested him with a P5 finish.

Over the course of his time in NASCAR, Reddick has raced at the Brickyard twice. He won the pole and finished second last season, so there’s some precedent for him to get to rise above and get to Victory Lane.

Joey Logano (+1400)

Joey Logano started eighth at Dover, and came home P14 when the checkered flag waved. It was another solid showing for the No. 22 Ford team, even if they weren’t up there beating and banging for first place.

In his many tries of winning the Brickyard 400, Logano hasn’t been able to get the job done, but he’s come close. He has two runner-up finishes (2015, 2019). Maybe this will be the year for Logano to kiss the bricks.
