Here's what to know about the oddsboard:

The Favorite

For the second week in a row, Denny Hamlin is favored to win the Cup Series race. He closed at +380 to be the outright winner at Charlotte but ended up finishing third. On the season, he's led an outstanding 699 laps to complement his one win, his All-Star Race victory and six top-five finishes. In 2025, Hamlin finished this race third after starting second. His 29.66 was the best lap of the day last year at the track.

One To Watch

With one win and 249 laps led, Blaney comes into the weekend off a seventh-place finish at the Coke 600 and sitting third in the Cup standings. What the driver of the No. 12 Ford does have going for him is that he won this race in 2025. Blaney got the victory by holding off the field, defeating second-place Carson Hocevar by a margin of 2.83 seconds.
