2025 NASCAR Cup Series Championship Odds: Updated betting lines following Charlotte Roval

The odds for who will emerge as the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series champion have been updated following this past weekend’s race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway ROVAL. Shane van Gisbergen was victorious, and now the stage is set for the Round of 8 to begin at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

Joey Logano’s shocking championship run in 2024 started in Sin City, and he’ll have designs on getting back to Phoenix via a win at Las Vegas this weekend once again. There’s a myriad of drivers who would love to stop him, including Denny Hamlin, who’s still searching for his first title of his Cup Series career.

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 Charlotte. Here’s where each wheelman stands entering Las Vegas.

Ryan Blaney (+400)

Ryan Blaney brought his No. 12 Ford home in 13th place at the ROVAL. While not his strongest showing, the former champion remains in contention heading into the Round of 8.

Unfortunately, Blaney’s never won at Las Vegas, though he finished third there in 2024. The Team Penske driver hopes to build on his newfound speed and break through for his first victory in the desert.

Christopher Bell (+450)

Christopher Bell turned in a strong performance, coming home third at the ROVAL. The result adds another top-five finish to his impressive playoff résumé in 2025.

Moving ahead to Sin City, Bell has come close at Las Vegas, with two runner-up finishes. He’ll be aiming to turn that consistency into his first win at the track, and lock himself into the Championship 4 once again.

Denny Hamlin (+475)

Denny Hamlin endured a tough outing, finishing 23rd at Charlotte and getting involved in the mess of Chastain and Logano. The poor result capped off a frustrating weekend for the No. 11 team, but they’re looking to rebound in the next round.

Hamlin’s lone Las Vegas win came in 2021, and he’s eager to add another. A strong run this weekend could solidify his push toward the championship finale, locking him in the Championship 4 and turning his focus to Phoenix.

Kyle Larson (+475)

Kyle Larson came up just short of victory, finishing second at the Charlotte ROVAL. He would’ve liked a win, but his runner-up effort kept his playoff momentum rolling as he advanced to the Round of 8.

Now, he’ll head to Las Vegas as one of the favorites, boasting three career wins at the track. The Hendrick Motorsports driver has a strong history in Sin City, and he’ll be hoping to add another victory to his resume.

William Byron (+550)

William Byron finished just outside the top 10, taking 11th in Charlotte. It was a steady day for the No. 24 team as they look to regroup for the next round of the playoffs.

He’ll return to a track where he triumphed in the spring of 2023. With playoff intensity ramping up, he’ll look to repeat that performance and secure a crucial postseason victory, and lock himself back into the Championship 4 once again.

Chase Elliott (+900)

Chase Elliott notched another solid top-10 finish at Charlotte, placing eighth in Sunday’s race. The Hendrick Motorsports driver continues to show consistency late in the season.

One caveat? Elliott has never won at Las Vegas. However, the Hendrick Motorsports star did finish second in 2021. He’ll be looking to change that storyline and capture his first victory in Sin City and get back to competing for his second career Cup Series title.

Chase Briscoe (+900)

Chase Briscoe logged a respectable run, finishing 14th at the Charlotte ROVAL. The result marked a clean, competitive day for the Joe Gibbs Racing driver.

Moving ahead, Briscoe hasn’t had much success at Las Vegas, with a best finish of fourth in 2022. The JGR wheelman will be looking to recapture that form with his new team and deliver a monstrous result this weekend.

Joey Logano (+1400)

Joey Logano struggled to find pace and finished 20th on Sunday. Despite the mid-pack result, the defending Cup champion still advanced to the Round of 8 due to some errors from Ross Chastain.

Thankfully, Logano has been dominant at Las Vegas, with four career wins, including an aforementioned victory there last fall. The No. 22 team hopes to recapture that form and punch their ticket to the Championship 4 once again.
