Best Bets for Cup |
Christopher Bell +425 | Top 5 -130 | Top 10 -360
Christopher Bell enters this weekend as the favorite to win, after coming up short in his runner up finish at COTA last weekend. He’s finished inside the Top 10 in six of his eight starts at Richmond. He’ll have some tough competition from the rest of his JGR stable, but Bell will look to rise to the challenge once again.
Denny Hamlin +450 | Top 5 -130 | Top 10 -360
It’s a homecoming weekend for Denny Hamlin, as the Chesterfield native returns to one of his best race tracks. Hamlin has won at Richmond four times in the Cup Series, with his most recent win coming from the Spring of ‘22. He’s finished five of his last six races inside the Top 5, looking to keep the momentum rolling on Sunday.
Martin Truex Jr +650 | Top 5 -110 | Top 10 -290
Martin Truex Jr is knocking on the door for his first win this season, with the closest coming at Bristol, finishing runner up to JGR teammate Denny Hamlin. But Truex Jr heads back to a track where he’s won three times since moving to JGR in 2019, finishing inside the Top 10 in all but one start. He’s finished inside the Top 10 in his last four races, looking to reach victory lane this Sunday.
Ty Gibbs +900 | Top 5 +140 | Top 10 -200
Ty Gibbs has been consistent all year, finishing inside the Top 10 in his last five starts. He’s recorded one finish inside the Top 10 at Richmond, coming in the Spring race last year. He enters this weekend 2nd in the drivers points, still on the hunt for his first career Cup Series win.
William Byron +1100 | Top 5 +185 | Top 10 -150
William Byron became the first Cup driver to record multiple wins in 2024 after winning last Sunday at COTA. Last year’s Spring race Byron finished 21st, after leading the most laps. His best finish at Richmond came in the Spring race of 2022, where he finished 3rd after leading 120 laps. Never count out the #24.
Joey Logano +2000 | Top 5 +300 | Top 10 -110
While it may seem like a Toyota weekend, don’t forget about Joey Logano. He’s had six Top 10 finishes in his last seven starts at Richmond. With only one Top 10 to his name so far in 2024, Richmond is the perfect track for Logano to get back in rhythm.
