2025 NASCAR Cup Series Championship odds: Betting lines updated after Mexico City

The odds for who will stand above the field as the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series champion have been updated following this past weekend’s race in Mexico City. Shane van Gisbergen saved his season, winning at the road course and clinching his spot in the playoffs.

It was the second win of his Cup Series career, but SVG’s first since his landmark victory at the Chicago Street Race in 2023. Now, he’ll be looking to gain some more experience on ovals, and become a major contender on tracks outside of road courses.

Looking ahead, FanDuel 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 Mexico City. Here’s where each wheelman stands entering Pocono this coming weekend, following the fun south of the border.

Kyle Larson (+350)

Kyle Larson got caught up in Kyle Busch’s mess in Mexico City. He received a bunch of damage due to the veteran spinning into him, which contributed to his P36 finish last weekend. A major disappointment.

Larson has never won at Pocono, but he’s come close. Back in 2021, he was leading into the final turn before blowing a tire, gifting the win to his teammate in Alex Bowman instead.

Christopher Bell (+450)

Christopher Bell made the podium in Mexico City. While he didn’t have anything for Shane van Gisbergen, Bell bested the rest of the field, finishing as the runner-up.

Pocono has been a mixed bag for Bell. He’s found success there recently though, amassing two top tens in his last three trips. Maybe he can get his first win there this time around.

Ryan Blaney (+600)

Ryan Blaney isn’t exactly a road course savant, but he did just enough in Mexico City. The former Cup Series champion finished P14 in the landmark event.

Moving forward, Pocono is one of Blaney’s top tracks. He won there back in 2017 with the Wood Brothers, and he made it back to Victory Lane last season. We’ll see if win No. 3 comes in 2025.

Denny Hamlin (+600)

Denny Hamlin decided to remain stateside last weekend. He didn’t race in Mexico City, instead staying in the United States to stay with his fiancee, who gave birth to their son earlier in the week.

As he gets back behind the wheel, Hamlin returns at one of his best tracks on the schedule. He’s won multiple times at Pocono, including in 2023. He came close last season as well, finishing as the runner-up to Ryan Blaney.

William Byron (+700)

William Byron notched another top ten in Mexico City, finishing P9. It’s par for the course from the Hendrick Motorsports wheelman, as he’s evolved into one of NASCAR’s best.

Jeff Gordon loved Pocono. Can Byron return the No. 24 to Victory Lane in Pennsylvania? He’s come close in the past, finishing third in 2021 and fourth last season.

Tyler Reddick (+1200)

Tyler Reddick is searching for answers. Without a win on the season, the 23XI Racing wheelman had another less-than-stellar performance in Mexico City, finishing P20.

Thankfully, Pocono is more in his wheelhouse. Reddick has finished second there twice, in 2022 and 2023. Perhaps he can do one position better this time around.

Chase Elliott (+1200)

Chase Elliott dug his heels in and went to work this past weekend. It paid off handsomely, as the Hendrick Motorsports star made the podium with a P3 finish.

Elliott made his fans at Pocono happy in 2022 when he won. That remains his only dub at the track in 15 tries. A second checkered flag would come at the perfect time if he gets it done in 2025.

Joey Logano (+1300)

The reigning Cup Series champion’s performance in Mexico City left a bit to be desired. Joey Logano couldn’t must much of a fight south of the border, finishing P21 when the checkered flag waved.

Logano has won at Pocono in the past, but it’s been awhile. The last time he got the job done was 2012, back when he was racing for Joe Gibbs Racing. Maybe he can get to Victory Lane in the No. 22 this time around.
