Elliott has had a phenomenal run of the season. He was the champion in 2020 and then finished fourth in 2021 and 2022. So, it is no surprise that Elliott opens as the favorite at +550, or an implied 15.4% chance to win his second title in four years.
Elliott’s biggest competition is expected to be the 2021 champion, Kyle Larson. Larson is given +650 odds, or an implied 13.3% chance. Denny Hamlin follows him at +900, or an implied 10% chance.
Last season’s champion Joey Logano is given +1200 odds, or an implied 7.7% chance to retain his title. That has him fifth on the market behind Elliot, Larson, Hamlin, and Ryan Blaney, who’s sitting at +1000 to win the title.
It’s honestly surprising that Kyle Larson isn’t the favorite. Larson was the favorite to win more races than any driver last year and was the Cup Series favorite until he was eliminated. So, to see him second to Chase Elliott is a bit of a shock. We’ll see if the books have it right this year, as their odds were the kiss of death for Larson last season.
