2025 NASCAR Cup Series Championship Odds: Updated betting lines following New Hampshire

The odds for who will emerge as the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series champion have been updated following this past weekend’s race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Ryan Blaney was victorious, and he’s locked into the Round of 8 with the win.

It was Team Penske who dominated throughout the afternoon, so it was only fitting that Blaney made it to Victory Lane. Reigning champion Joey Logano finished fourth, and de facto Penske car Josh Berry came home as the runner-up. They certainly figured something out on Sunday.

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 New Hampshire. Here’s where each wheelman stands entering Kansas.
