NASCAR Cup Series Championship odds: Betting lines updated after North Wilkesboro

The odds for the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series title have been updated following the All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro over the weekend.

While Joey Logano dominated the action on-track, it was the off-track confrontation between Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Kyle Busch that’s grabbed headlines. The prospect of revenge will be on Stenhouse Jr.’s mind during the Coca-Cola 600 this weekend, so we’ll see if Busch finds himself done early on Sunday evening.

Moving forward, one of NASCAR’s biggest weekends of the season is on the docket, as the legendary, aforementioned Coca-Cola 600 is slated for Sunday evening. As the campaign moves forward, here are the full updated NASCAR Cup Series title odds, courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.

Kyle Larson (+380)

Kyle Larson had the busiest weekend of any NASCAR wheelman, participating in Indianapolis 500 qualifying before jetting back to North Wilkesboro for the All-Star Race. He ended up qualifying in the second row in Indianapolis, and came home P4 in the All-Star Race. An impressive weekend.

As Larson attempts the double this weekend, he’ll be looking to fair better in the Coca-Cola 600 than he did last season. The Hendrick wheelman finished P30 at Charlotte in 2023, due to a DNF.

William Byron (+450)

William Byron didn’t have a lot of fun in North Wilkesboro, at least on the track. The No. 24 wheelman didn’t come close to winning the All-Star Race, as he finished P19 on Sunday evening, one spot ahead of the aforementioned Stenhouse Jr.

Last season, Byron came close to winning the Coca-Cola 600, as he finished P2 on the evening. He’ll be looking to make it a memorable Memorial Day, following up his Daytona 500 victory with a win at Charlotte.

Denny Hamlin (+450)

While Joey Logano led almost the entire race, Denny Hamlin made it interesting in North Wilkesboro. He couldn’t get the job done though, as Hamlin finished runner-up to Logano during the All-Star Race.

Hamlin had a disappointing evening during the Coca-Cola 600 in 2023, as he finished P35 due to a DNF. That doesn’t happen too often for Hamlin, so he’ll be looking to bounce back this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Christopher Bell (+900)

North Wilkesboro was an evening to forget for Christopher Bell. Some believed he had what it took to win it all, after his team won the Pit Crew Challenge, but Bell’s No. 20 finished P17 on the evening.

The Coca-Cola 600 hasn’t always been kind to Bell. Last season, he came home P24, so Bell and Joe Gibbs Racing will be looking to get back on track over Memorial Day Weekend.

Chase Elliott (+900)

NASCAR’s most popular driver received an impressive ovation during introductions, but it couldn’t carry over into a win in the All-Star Race. Still, Elliott had a solid evening in North Carolina, as he brought his No. 9 Chevrolet home P8.

A DNF ruined Elliott’s chance at the Coca-Cola 600 in 2023, as he finished P34 on the evening. He’d be a popular victory for sure, so we’ll see if he can give his fans something to cheer at Charlotte.

Tyler Reddick (+1100)

Tyler Reddick finished P14 at North Wilkesboro over the weekend. After Darlington brought some jeers his way for an aggressive move that he pulled on Chris Buescher, it was a relatively quiet night for Reddick in North Carolina.

Reddick came home with a top five in last season’s Coca-Cola 600, when he finished P5. The 23XI Racing wheelman will be hoping for his second win of the season at Charlotte on Sunday.

Ryan Blaney (+1200)

Ryan Blaney watched his teammate win at North Wilkesboro, but he had a solid evening himself. The reigning NASCAR Cup Series champion finished P5 on the evening, a good showing for Team Penske.

It was a trip to victory lane that Blaney was able to celebrate during last season’s Coca-Cola 600. As he looks for his first win of 2024, the reigning champion would be well served to get one in Charlotte this weekend.

Martin Truex Jr. (+1200)

Martin Truex Jr. was all business at the All-Star Race. It led to his No. 19 finished P12, which was a solid enough evening for the Joe Gibbs Racing wheelman.

In the past, Truex Jr. has dominated to the point of making the Coca-Cola 600 a boring race. Fans won’t exactly want to see that, but as NASCAR returns to one of his best races, Truex Jr. will be hoping for his first win of 2024.

Updated NASCAR Cup Series Championship odds after North Wilkesboro:

As you can tell from DraftKing’s projections, Kyle Larson is still the lead dog in the Cup Series, with William Byron and Denny Hamlin chasing him, as per usual in 2024. Some other drivers are making their way up though, like Christopher Bell and Chase Elliott, and a win could put them in better contention.
