The odds for who will emerge as the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series champion have been updated following this past weekend’s race at Bristol Motor Speedway. Christopher Bell was able to get the win at The Last Great Colosseum.

The Joe Gibbs Racing wheelman notched his fourth win of the season in the process, and set himself up for a championship run as he gained a ton of momentum. Elsewhere, the playoff field shrunk to 12, as the Round of 16 came to a close.

With that in mind, BetMGM 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 Tennessee. Here’s where each wheelman stands entering New Hampshire, the first race of the Round of 12.

Ryan Blaney (+450)

Ryan Blaney continues to put up solid finish after solid finish. He came home fourth at Bristol this past weekend, notching another top five.

Unfortunately, he’s never won at New Hampshire, and Blaney hasn’t had a ton of success there either. Last season, he finished P25. His best finish at the track is fourth, but that came back in 2019.

Denny Hamlin (+450)

Denny Hamlin’s usually lights out at Bristol. However, this past weekend’s race didn’t mean anything to him, as he had already advanced to the Round of 12. As fate would have it, he finished P31.

Looking ahead, Hamlin has multiple wins at New Hampshire, with the latest coming in 2017. Last season, he finished P24, so the veteran wheelman will be hoping to continue turning back the clock at a track he’s raced at over 30 times.

Kyle Larson (+475)

Kyle Larson started fifth and seemed primed for another great run at Bristol. It wasn’t meant to be, as the No. 5 Hendrick Chevrolet came home P32 on Saturday evening. It was another frustrating result for Larson.

As he moves on to New Hampshire, he’ll be hoping to gain momentum at a track he’s never won at, but he’s certainly enjoyed a bunch of success, including three runner-up finishes.

Christopher Bell (+525)

Christopher Bell ascended to the win at Bristol this past weekend. He returned the No. 20 Toyota to Victory Lane for the first time since his three wins in a row back at the beginning of the season. It was a much-needed boost.

The good times might continue to roll for Bell. New Hampshire is one of his best tracks on the schedule. He’s won there twice, including last season.

William Byron (+650)

William Byron was one of the more solid Hendrick cars at Bristol. He finished P12, only behind Alex Bowman (P8) for the organization, but the No. 48 team was unfortunately eliminated from the playoffs.

As Byron looks to get back to the Championship 4, New Hampshire hasn’t ever been kind to him. The No. 24 Chevrolet team hasn’t been able to finish in the top ten with Byron behind the wheel.

Chase Briscoe (+900)

Another top ten for Chase Briscoe. He came home P9 at Bristol, while his teammate Christopher Bell got the win for Joe Gibbs Racing. The organization swept the Round of 16 — Briscoe won Darlington, Denny Hamlin won Gateway and Bell won Bristol.

They’ll be hoping for even more success in the Round of 12. Briscoe actually finished second to Bell at the track in 2024.

Chase Elliott (+1000)

It was a nightmare night for Chase Elliott at Bristol. He wrecked, and that led to a P38 finish for the Hendrick Motorsports wheelman.

Thankfully, he built up enough of a cushion to advance to the Round of 12 anyway. He’s never won at New Hampshire, but Elliott has come close, finishing second as recently as the 2022 season.

Tyler Reddick (+1600)

Tyler Reddick still doesn’t have a win in 2025. However, he’s moving on to the Round of 12 after a P15 finish at Bristol.

He’s simply staying alive, and there will be an opportunity for more points this weekend. Reddick has finished sixth in the past two races at New Hampshire for 23XI Racing.

Updated NASCAR Cup Series Championship Odds:

Joey Logano (+1600)
Bubba Wallace (+3000)
Ross Chastain (+3000)
Austin Cindric (+3000)
