2026 NASCAR Odds: Kyle Larson Opens as Early Favorite for Las Vegas

When Ryan Blaney got into Victory Lane last week at Phoenix, he broke Tyler Reddick's three-win hot streak, while getting manufacturer Ford across the finish line for the first time this NASCAR season.

Now, the Cup Series heads to Vegas for the Pennzoil 400, where neither is favored.

Instead, Kyle Larson opened as the early favorite at +500. He's trailed closely by Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell, who are tied at +700.

Which driver takes the checkered flag this weekend when Cup goes green Sunday at 4 p.m. ET on FS1?

The Favorites: When the series last raced in Vegas in Oct. 2025, Kyle Larson led 129 laps but finished second behind Denny Hamlin. Now, Larson comes into this race with two top-10 finishes and one top five. He's led 55 laps over the first four races but hasn't managed to get into Victory Lane. Similarly, Hamlin has two top 10s and one top five with no wins in 2026. In addition to winning at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in the fall of 2025, Hamlin started the race from the pole. And let's not forget about Christopher Bell, who's tied with Hamlin at +700 and finished the Vegas fall race in 2025 third.

Ones to Watch: As noted above, Tyler Reddick and Ryan Blaney are the only two drivers who've gotten into Victory Lane in 2026, and now they're tied on the early oddsboard for Vegas at +900. Reddick finished fifth in the fall race at Vegas; Blaney had a DNF. This season, Reddick has led 112 laps, is ranked first and leads the field with 225 points. Blaney has led 47 laps, is ranked second and has racked up 165 points over four races.
