2026 NASCAR Cup Series title odds: Tyler Reddick emerges as favorite

The 2025 NASCAR season ended on a high note for champion Kyle Larson. For Denny Hamlin, it couldn’t have ended worse, as the veteran driver saw his chances of securing his first title slip away once again. Now, Hamlin and Larson are second and fourth on the 2026 championship odds chart. However, the driver who has become the favorite over the past month is Tyler Reddick. Since the start of the season, the driver of the No. 45 has gone from +1000 to +350. He has won five races so far this season, including the first three at Daytona, Atlanta and COTA. How will the rest of the season play out now that the league is returning to the 10-race Chase format?

Most of the tracks in these 10 fit into Hamlin’s wheelhouse. I know, I know, every season begins with wondering if this year could be Hamlin’s year. This season? This really could be the case. Chase Elliott+850 to win the Championship Cup Of all the drivers who could thrive in this new championship format that rewards consistency, Elliott may be at the top of the list. He only failed in two races last year and he likes this format which could be very useful in terms of performance. Additionally, Chevrolet has a new body that should result in better results. Brad Keselowski More than 0.5 winsWill Keselowski win this year? He has only one victory in the last four seasons and suffered a broken leg in the offseason. So why should we expect him to win? He has four top-three finishes in the last 19 races of 2025. If he builds on that, he’ll be in the top three enough to find a way to win a trophy. Kyle Larson Under 4.5 wins This is a tough question. Larson has only had more than four wins twice in his career. The Next Gen car makes things so uniform that there is more parity. Getting four wins seems much more achievable than five, especially in a points system where the risk/reward ratio for a bold move is more dramatic.
