Kyle Larson +450 | Top 5 -175 | Top 10 -430
Kyle Larson enters this weekend as the favorite, where he returns to a track he’s been very fast at in the past. He’s won there once in 2019 and has finished inside the Top 10 in 11 of his 15 starts at the Monster Mile. The points leader will look to build on his lead this Sunday.
Martin Truex Jr +650 | Top 5 -120 | Top 10 -320
Martin Truex Jr won his fourth time at Dover last year, cementing his name as one of the best drivers at the Monster Mile. Since he switched back to Toyota in 2016, Truex Jr has finished inside the Top 10 in 10 of 13 starts at Dover. He survived for 11th last week at Talladega, this week he’ll look to close the points gap with a win.
Ross Chastain +650 | Top 5 +100 | Top 10 -250
Since the move to the NextGen in 2022, Ross Chastain has finished inside the Top 3 in both races at Dover. He led 86 laps en route to 3rd in 2022 and 98 laps en route to 2nd in 2023. Still searching for his first win of the season, Chastain will look to lock both Trackhouse cars in the Playoffs this Sunday.
William Byron +750 | Top 5 +100 | Top 10 -250
Three wins in the first ten races of the 2024 season and William Byron is looking to breakthrough for his first win at Dover. He’s finished 4th in three of his last four starts at Dover, including last year’s race where he led 193 laps. Momentum is rolling in the right direction for Byron heading into the weekend.
Chase Elliott +1200 | Top 5 +140 | Top 10 -170
Despite the 15th place finish last week at Talladega, Chase Elliott heads back to the track he won at in 2018 and 2022. Elliott has finish 12th or better in 11 of his 13 starts at Dover, where he finished 11th last year in his third race back since returning from injury. One year later, a fully healthy Chase Elliott with a win under his belt at Texas, will look for his third win at the Monster Mile this Sunday.
Alex Bowman +1800 | Top 5 +200 | Top 10 -140
With three Hendrick Motorsports drivers with a win this season, Alex Bowman enters this weekend as the sole driver without a win in that stable. However, Bowman has finished inside the Top 10 in five of his last six starts at Dover, including a win in 2021. He looks to end his 71 race winless streak this weekend.
Josh Berry +6000 | Top 5 +630 | Top 10 +210
After nearly going upside down in last week’s wild finish at Talladega, Josh Berry returns to Dover where he finished 10th last year subbing for Alex Bowman. His best finishes this season came from the short tracks, where he finished 12th at Bristol and 11th at Martinsville. Not to mention, he’s won in the Xfinity Series at this track in 2022. He’ll be a sneaky driver to watch out for on Sunday.
