Betting NASCAR Odds: Weekend Preview for Cup and Xfinity Series
Cup Series: Jack Link’s 500
Sunday, April 27, 3:00 pm ET
Last Race Preview
Back on April 13, Kyle Larson rolled to victory in the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway. He had also dominated the Xfinity Series race the day before, but in the Cup Series event, he led 411 of 500 laps and won both stages. This gave him two wins in 2025 and his second in a row at Bristol. Despite brushing the outside wall at the top of Turns 1 and 2 with just five laps remaining, he still beat Denny Hamlin by 2.250 seconds, denying Hamlin a third consecutive Cup Series win. Ty Gibbs finished third, 6.679 seconds behind Larson. This was the seventh time that Hamlin and Larson have come in 1-2, but the first time that Larson has been the winner. Chase Briscoe and Ryan Blaney rounded out the top five.
Talladega Superspeedway is a much different track than Bristol. Running longer than two miles, Talladega offers higher speed and features pack racing – which can lead to huge pileups. Bristol has higher banking and runs just a half-mile. Superspeedway races often end up in chaos as a driver comes from way back to zip around a wreck and take the lead, so bear that in mind when making your wagers. Let’s look at this week’s contender odds and a smart pick or two.
- Ryan Blaney +285
- Joey Logano +310
- Kyle Busch +350
- Brad Keselowski +380
- William Byron +390
- Denny Hamlin +410
- Christopher Bell +410
- Kyle Larson +420
- Austin Cindric +430
- Chase Briscoe +430

Ryan Blaney
Notice that even the favorite here, Blaney, is offering +1000 odds. The fact that one wreck at the wrong time can send favorites to the garage early makes the value greater – if you end up being right. Blaney has won here three times, most recently in the fall of 2023. We haven’t seen Brad Keselowski this high up an odds list in a while, but he has six wins here, tied with Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr for the second-most of all time. He’s also come in second in the last two Cup Series events here.
Kyle Busch
Busch has won here twice, most recently in the spring of 2023. He has done well recently on drafting tracks – last fall, he was the runner-up at Daytona. Joey Logano has won here three times, but hasn’t even cracked the top ten once since the start of the NextGen era.
Want a sleeper?
Think about Bubba Wallace. He won here in the fall of 2021 and came in ninth in the fall of 2024. He generally finishes near the front at superspeedways – and he had the lead at the white flag in the 2023 spring race until one of those infamous crashed took him. Another sleeper could be Michael McDowell, who swept the pole positions here in 2024 and had the lead in the last lap last spring before wrecking.
^Betting NASCAR Odds: Ag-Pro 300 Xfinity Series
Saturday, April 26, 4:00 pm ET
NASCAR returned to Rockingham Speedway last week with events in the Craftsman Truck Series and the Xfinity Series. It looked like Jesse Love had won the Xfinity Series event, the North Carolina Education Lottery 250. However, Love was disqualified for a car parts violation, and Sammy Smith ended up with his first win of 2025 and his third overall. The day saw 14 cautions over 83 laps and nine yellows in the last stage.
Parker Retzlaff ended up in second place, a career mark. Harrison Burton, Brennan Poole, and Taylor Gray completed the top five. Poole now has two top-five finishes in his last four events. Ryan Sieg led 77 laps, a race high, but a huge crash on Lap 241 caught him. Now let’s look at the contender odds (+10000 or better) for this week’s Xfinity Series race at Talladega.
- Austin Hill +310
- Jesse Love +620
- Aric Almirola +1225
- Sheldon Creed +1300
- Justin Allgaier +1325
- Connor Zilisch +1325
- Sammy Smith +1475
- Carson Kvapil +1700
- Sam Mayer +1925
- Taylor Gray +2000
Best average finish at Talladega all-time
