NASCAR Food City 500 Odds: Betting lines for the entire field to win in Bristol
Are you feeling lucky? If you are, FanDuel Sportsbook has updated their odds for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series’ trip to Bristol this weekend, which falls on St. Patrick’s Day.
So far through the fresh campaign, it’s been William Byron, Daniel Suarez, Kyle Larson and Christopher Bell who have felt the thrill of victory. Can any of them become the first two-time winner, or will someone new join them? That’s what we’re going to find out this weekend at Bristol.
It should be an awesome race, as the concrete is back as the dirt goes the way of the dinosaur for Bristol. Here are the updated odds for the entire field to win at Bristol, courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.
Kyle Larson (+450)
After capturing his first win of the season at Las Vegas, Kyle Larson followed it up with a solid P14 at Phoenix. Locked into the playoffs, the Hendrick Motorsports star will be looking for any advantage over the next couple of months that can help him win his second title.
At Bristol in 2023, Larson finished P35 in last season’s dirt race, and P2 when the Cup Series returned for the playoffs. We’ll see if he can get that extra spot, and have a little more luck on St. Patrick’s Day.
Christopher Bell (+500)
Christopher Bell proved once again why he’s such an underrated driver. The Joe Gibbs Racing star had a dominant car at Phoenix, and drove away from the field as the laps dwindled down in Arizona.
Bell had a lot of fun at Bristol last season, capturing a win on the dirt, and coming home P3 during the Cup Series playoffs. Perhaps he can make it back-to-back, following up his win at Phoenix with a win at Bristol this weekend.
Denny Hamlin (+500)
Denny Hamlin had one of the cars to beat at Phoenix, and that showed when he won the pole on Saturday. However, he spun late in the race while racing for the lead, and could only muster a P11 finish on the afternoon.
Now, he’ll be elated to see Bristol on the schedule. Hamlin had a memorable win their last season during the playoffs, so he’ll welcome the track with open arms as the Cup Series returns to Tennessee.
Tyler Reddick (+1000)
Tyler Reddick has shown a lot of speed in 2024, and he’s contended for wins at each of the tracks NASCAR has brought their camping to thus far. However, he hasn’t been able to close the deal, for one reason or another.
He’ll have a good shot at Bristol, a track where he’s always raced well, whether it’s on dirt or concrete. The 23XI Racing wheelman will be somebody to keep an eye on this St. Patrick’s Day, as he hopes for his luck to turn.
Kyle Busch (+1200)
Bristol has been kind to Kyle Busch in the past, no matter the surface. He returns to the track this weekend in desperate need of some momentum, so it’s solid timing for the driver of the No. 8.
While teammate Austin Dillon has had his fair share of wrecks and problems in 2024, Busch has been near the front, but unable to put together a complete race, which has frustrated him. We’ll see if he has a better finish at NASCAR’s version of The Coliseum.
William Byron (+1200)
William Byron had a lot of fun at Phoenix in 2023, but Sunday’s trip to the desert wasn’t an awesome day for the Hendrick wheelman. Byron finished P18, and had trouble getting to the front of the field throughout the afternoon.
Bristol was good to Byron last season, as he finished P13 and P9 at the track in 2023. He’ll be gunning for his second win of the season this weekend, hoping to separate himself from the rest of the field.
Ryan Blaney (+1200)
Similar to Ross Chastain, who Ryan Blaney ironically has a budding rivalry with, Bristol wasn’t kind to the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion last season. However, that could change in an instant with Blaney, who’s proven solid on short tracks.
He’s been awesome to start the season, and that continued at Phoenix. Blaney came home P5, so he’ll look to stay hot as the Cup Series moves on in their campaign.
Ty Gibbs (+1300)
