Through the Gears: NASCAR Betting Odds for Martinsville Chase Race

There are only two races remaining in the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season, and this week, the field will head to Martinsville Speedway for the penultimate event.

The other six Chase drivers still alive for the championship will be desperate for points in order to try to chase down points leader and defending champion Kyle Larson.

Let's see how the odds shake out for this weekend's race, courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook.

NASCAR 101: Which JGR Driver Has the Best Chance of Upsetting Kyle Larson at Martinsville?And can any of them even do so at all?

Denny Hamlin is the favorite this week at +400 as he comes to his hometown track, needing a huge points day to stay in the fight as he is currently down 73 points to Larson.

Next at +450 is Ryan Blaney, who has won this fall Martinsville race multiple times in the Next Gen era and is looking to bounce back after being involved in a crash last weekend at Talladega Superspeedway.

Blaney's teammate, Joey Logano, is also looking for a rebound after flipping over in a late crash at Talladega. He comes in at +700 to win his first Next Gen race at Martinsville.

Next is points leader Larson at +750. He has a win to his name at the track, and with another strong points day, it's very possible he could clinch his third NASCAR Cup title a week in advance of the finale.

Two more Hendrick Motorsports drivers follow Larson. Chase Elliott (+800) comes in as the most recent winner at Martinsville, while William Byron (+900) is still searching for his first win of 2026 — his most recent win came in this very race last year.

The other three Joe Gibbs Racing drivers follow consecutively with Christopher Bell and Chase Briscoe coming in tied at +1,000 odds to win, followed right behind by Ty Gibbs at +1,200.
