NASCAR power rankings: Kyle Larson leads odds over Christopher Bell, William Byron
NASCAR power rankings: Kyle Larson leads odds over Christopher Bell, William Byron Show Caption Hide Caption Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s take on lawsuit between Michael Jordan and NASCAR Dale Earnhardt Jr. says despite the lawsuit between Michael Jordan and NASCAR, He believes NASCAR is better off with Michael Jordan as part of the sport. The Coca-Cola 600 marked the longest race on the NASCAR Cup Series calendar and the halfway mark of the regular season. Ross Chastain's impressive comeback win stamped an exciting race following the NASCAR All-Star break. The action continues this weekend from Lebanon, Tennessee, at the Nashville Superspeedway. The Cracker Barrel 400 kicks off Sunday night for the latest edition of one of the Cup Series' newer events. Kyle Larson and The Double: Crashes end Larson's race in Indy 500, Coca-Cola 600 There has been a different winner in each of the four previous runnings of the race: Kyle Larson in 2021, Chase Elliott in 2022, Chastain in 2023 and Joey Logano in 2024. That leaves things wide open this weekend. With the calendar reaching the halfway point, it's a good time to take stock of the championship power rankings. So far, only eight drivers have won races through the first 13 championship races. That means half of the playoff field (16 spots) is still up for grabs. The championship rankings saw lots of change after the Coca-Cola 600. The latest NASCAR odds from BetMGM show a clear favorite ahead of a closely packed second tier. 'Earnhardt' documentary: Dale Earnhardt Jr., sister Kelley discuss new Prime Video series Here's how things look by odds for winning the Cup Series title in 2025: NASCAR power rankings by odds Odds via BetMGM as of May 28. T-12. Josh Berry (+5000) Berry's earned his spot in the playoffs thanks to his win in Las Vegas in March. Beyond that win, he has a pair of top-eight finishes (fourth in Phoenix, sixth in Kansas). He had a solid finish in Charlotte (12th) ahead of his hometown race in Tennessee. T-12. Austin Cindric (+5000) Cindric's win in Talladega secures him a spot in the playoffs and he's shown great speed at Superspeedways this season. That form will come in handy in the playoffs with the penultimate round of the Round of 8 in Talladega this season. T-12. Bubba Wallace (+5000) Wallace is in a tough stretch of results with three consecutive DNFs following his eighth-place result in Talladega that featured a Stage 2 win. This is his worst string of results since moving to 23XI Racing so he's more likely than not to bounce back soon. T-12. Kyle Busch (+5000) The two-time Cup Series champion notched another top-15 finish in Charlotte. He's had solid results this season but still has yet to make an appearance in victory lane since June 2023 (Gateway). T-12. Chris Buescher (+5000) Buescher has had some tough luck recently with only one top-10 result in the last five races (eighth in Kansas). Luckily, Michigan and Pocono are on the docket for the next four races, both tracks Buescher has won at before. 11. Chase Briscoe (+4000) Briscoe took pole position for Charlotte but dropped down the order. He worked his way back to third, his fifth top-five finish of the season. He's yet to win in the regular season but is in good form ahead of Nashville. T-9. Ross Chastain (+3000) Chastain had an outstanding drive under the lights after Trackhouse Racing had to build a backup car. He went from 40th to victory lane for his first win of the season. Nashville is one of his better tracks on the calendar and he should perform well. T-9. Alex Bowman (+3000) It's hard to find a more up-and-down season than Bowman's so far in 2025. He has two top-10 results (Talladega, Kansas) balanced out by DNFs in Bristol and Texas as well as 29th in Charlotte. 8. Joey Logano (+1600) Logano pushed it for a win in Charlotte but the caution he was waiting for never arrived. The defending Cup Series champion has shown he can get hot at the right time and already has his playoff ticket punched thanks to his win in Texas. 7. Chase Elliott (+1200) Elliott has yet to win a race in the 2025 season but has been the picture of consistency as usual. He has yet to finish a race lower than 20th with seven top-10 results. More non-oval races are coming up on the Cup Series calendar and that should play to his strengths. 6. Tyler Reddick (+1000) Reddick has been similarly consistent but a step down from Elliott. He had a season-worst 26th-place finish in Charlotte thanks to a late incident. He hasn't made the top 10 in the last five races, though, and needs a turn of form to make the Championship 4 once again. T-4. Denny Hamlin (+650) Hamlin's back-to-back wins in Martinsville and Darlington have his playoff spot sealed. He had a disappointing result in Charlotte due to a fueling issue but is still a contender every week. T-4. Ryan Blaney (+650) Blaney's in a tough stretch of the calendar. Top-five finishes in Darlington, Bristol, Texas and Kansas have been balanced by DNFs in Talladega and Charlotte. He's yet to visit victory lane in 2025 but the 2023 Cup Series champion has the pedigree to make a run. 3. William Byron (+600) Byron led 283 of the 400 laps in Charlotte but could only manage second behind Chastain. Still, that result gives him the championship lead. His win in the Daytona 500 ensured his playoff spot and he's been consistent enough in the postseason to be a contender late in the year. 2. Christopher Bell (+500) Bell's the only driver to win three races in a row - he did so early on in Atlanta, Austin and Phoenix - and has stayed consistent since then. His six top-10 finishes in the last seven races put him within range of Byron for the championship lead. 1. Kyle Larson (+275) Larson's bad luck with trying The Double last week dampened what's been a great stretch for the Hendrick Motorsports driver. His dominant wins in Kansas and Bristol were balanced out by DNFs in Darlington and Charlotte. He's the favorite for good reason 2025 Cracker Barrel 400: How to watch, TV, streaming Here's how to watch the Cracker Barrel 400 this weekend.
