Chase Elliott, the NASCAR Cup Series leader, fell back down to earth at last week's Verizon 200 at the Brickyard, finishing in 16th place.

He still holds a 129-point lead as the drivers head to Michigan for this week's FireKeepers Casino 400.

Ryan Blaney is the defending champion of the race, but Kevin Harvick won it three years straight from 2018-2020.

Let's take a look at the top 10 odds to win this year's FireKeeps Casino 400, courtesy of WynnBET Sportsbook.

  • Kyle Larson +700
  • Denny Hamlin +800
  • Ross Chastain +900
  • Ryan Blaney +1000
  • Tyler Reddick +1100
  • William Byron +1100
  • Martin Truex Jr. +1300
  • Christopher Bell +1500

Best Bet to Win the FireKeepers Casino 400

Denny Hamlin has stumbled a bit in recent weeks, but I think it's time for him to get back on track in Michigan.

He finished 5th at this race last year and 2nd in 2020 so he knows how to drive this track. Even though he hasn't been quite as good in recent weeks, Hamlin has two wins on the year and five top 10 finishes.

What better place for him to find his early-season success than at a track he's already shown he's comfortable at?

Pick: Denny Hamlin +800
