F1 Odds – Formula One Drives New Interest at Betting Window
May 18, 2022
In recent years, the NASCAR Cup series has shown greater parity. The Jimmie Johnson dynasty that ran from 2006 through 2016 is the last one of that kind that we may ever see. Johnson won five consecutive championships from 2006 through 2010, with two more titles in 2013 and 2016. Since 2017, we have seen six different drivers win the championship. For the past two years, Hendrick Motorsports has hoisted the NASCAR Cup. Kyle Larson was the 2021 champion, with Chase Elliott winning in 2020. And it comes as no surprise that it is Elliott and Larson as the top two betting favorites to win the 2022 championship.

NASCAR betting odds – How Gamblers See It
As is the case in all sports, futures betting is most often based on the past. And that is a major factor in why Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson are the two favorites as the most recent champions.
Bargain hunters and sharps will look down the list to quality drivers such as Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, and Martin Truex Jr. These are proven contenders that will be in the race to the end at far better prices than Elliott and Larson.
Is Kyle Larson the Next Jimmie Johnson?
Last year Kyle Larson turned in a dominant performance reminiscent of Jimmie Johnson at his peak. And let’s not forget that Johnson drove for Hendrick Motorsports as well. In the 2021 season, Larson won ten wins with 20 top-5s and 26 top-10s.
As great as Larson was in 2021, he has been inconsistent in the first half of the 2022 campaign. Larson beat the NASCAR Race Odds just once in his first 13 starts. But Larson remained in the top ten of the standings. The NASCAR Playoffs are what matter in this era. And Larson will certainly be the man to beat when the playoffs begin on September 4, 2022, at the Southern 500 in Darlington, South Carolina.
Last year Larson won the regular season and Cup championships. Larson was the 2014 NASCAR Rookie of the Year. He has had a remarkable career turnaround after a suspension in 2020 for racially insensitive remarks.
NASCAR Today Odds – Elliott in the Chase for More
NASCAR fans were delighted that Chase Elliott won the 2020 Cup championship. Elliott is the son of retired NASCAR legend Bill Elliott. In a classic case of being a chip off the old block, Chase Elliott was named the most popular driver in the circuit for the past four years. Bill Elliott was a regular winner of that award back in his day. So far in the 2022 campaign, Chase Elliott was the first-place driver with one win, three top-5s, and nine top-10s in 13 starts.
NASCAR Live Odds – Kyle Busch Offers Potentially Strong Value
If there is a driver that combines a reasonable NASCAR Driver Odds price with championship ability, it would be Kyle Busch. So far in 2022, Rowdy is third in the standings with one win, four top-5s, and nine top-10s. Consider that Kyle Busch is a 2-time Cup champion in 2015 and 2019.
Kevin Harvick – A Power Longshot
Kevin Harvick was 11th in the standings after 13 races and is one of the most accomplished drivers in NASCAR. Harvick has one Cup championship and two regular season championships. Most important of all, Harvick is a model of consistency and in the hunt every year.
Best Bet: Kyle Busch
