NASCAR Cup Series Odds: Chase Elliott Ties Kyle Larson As Favorite to Win the Cup Series
Oddsmakers have been stubborn in their belief that Kyle Larson was going to turn his season around and win the Cup Series. They still are, as Larson is the favorite at +600. However, he’s no longer alone as Cup Series leader Chase Elliott has tied him. Let's dive into the NASCAR Cup Series odds.

NASCAR Cup Series Odds Breakdown
At the All-Star break, the NASCAR Cup Series odds looked a little different than they do now. Larson was the clear favorite at +550, but he’s seen his odds lengthen to +600. Meanwhile, Elliott has moved from +650 to +600. That creates a tie between last year’s champion and the current Cup Series leader.
Those aren’t the only moves being made though. Denny Hamlin is third at +800 despite not being in a playoff spot with 10 races to go. Meanwhile, Ross Chastain sits +900, fifth on the market, despite sitting second in the standings with the most wins, top-5 finishes, and top-10 finishes this season.

Oddsmakers’ faith in Kyle Larson hasn’t been rewarded yet. He still sits seventh in the standings and he hasn’t won a race since February. So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Chase Elliott has finally caught him.
That said, it is weird that oddsmakers don’t like Chastain much despite leading NASCAR in wins, top-5 finishes, and top-10 finishes this season. It’ll be interesting to watch how the oddsmakers deal with him as the season continues.
