The penultimate race in the NASCAR Cup Series regular series is set to take place this Sunday at Michigan International Speedway. The FireKeepers Casino 400 promises to be an exciting event, especially after last week’s Verizon 200 at the Brickyard that saw A.J. Allmendinger win as a +1700 (17/1) underdog.

Odds to win the FireKeepers Casino 400

Here are the top 10 odds to win this weekend’s FireKeepers Casino 400. All odds listed are via WynnBET.

  • Kyle Larson +250
  • Kyle Busch +650
  • Chase Elliott +650
  • Martin Truex Jr. +650
  • Kyle Harvick +700
  • Denny Hamlin +800
  • Joey Logano +1000
  • William Byron +1100
  • Brad Keselowski +1100
  • Ryan Blaney +1200

Kyle Larson is set as the +250 betting favorite to grab his sixth win of the season and further extend his lead in the NASCAR Cup Series standings. He’s been truly dominant this NASAR season, leading for a total of 1,496 laps. The next closest in that statistic is Denny Hamlin, who has led for 804.

On top of his five wins this season, Larson also has 13 top five finishes and 17 top ten finishes. If he can remain strong down the stretch, he’s in a good position to win his first every NASCAR Cup.

The FireKeepers Casino 400 Pick: Denny Hamlin +800

I like to keep my NASCAR handicapping simple. Bet on drivers who have won the event in the past, and who have looked good in recent races. Hamlin fits that description, having won this race twice before, both in 2010 and 2011.

Last week, Hamlin was well on his way to winning on the road course before being spun by Chase Briscoe, who was cited for cutting the corner on the final restart.

While it must have stung Hamlin to lose that race, him being in great position to win until the very end shows me that he’s in good form. I’ll take a shot at him winning this week in Michigan at +800.
