Dissecting the Chances of the Top 2024 GEICO 500 Favorites
Ryan Blaney is one of the drivers that tend to do very well in Talladega, which is why he’s sitting at the top of the favorites list with the GEICO 500 odds of +1000.
Just behind him are five drivers that are given +1100 odds each – Denny Hamlin, Chasse Elliott, William Byron, Brad Keselowski, and Joey Logano.
Hamlin, Elliott, and Byron are all in the Top 5 in the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Drivers’ Standings, which is why it’s no surprise they’re among the top favorites to win the race in Talladega. When it comes to Keselowski and Logano, they’re out of the top 10, but their form has really improved over the last couple of weeks.
Then, there’s Kyle Busch, who’s behind them on the list of favorites with the NASCAR odds of +1500. This guy is the winner of last season’s race at Talladega, which is proof that he can do well on this track.
2024 GEICO 500 Underdog to Watch Out For
Kyle Larson looks like the most interesting underdog bet given that this guy is the No. 1 driver in the Drivers’ Standings. He’s won one race this season (in Vegas) and has had the pole position in each of the last three races.
Last weekend, he looked set to win the race at Texas Motor Speedway, after taking the No. 1 position in Stage One. However, his wheel fell off, so he ended up in the 21st position, which was his worst finish since the second race of the season.
2024 GEICO 500 Prediction
We think it’s time for Kyle Larson to win his first race in over a month. He’s a fantastic driver, but his team hasn’t been great this season, which explains the mishap he had in the previous race. This time, his car is supposed to work smoothly, which should allow him to put on a great show in Talladega.
Pick: Kyle Larson
