The NASCAR Cup Series circuit heads to the Dover Motor Speedway this Sunday for the running of the All-Star Race. It is the first time the 1.0-mile concrete track has been the site of the premier event.
With $1 million up for grasp, the oddsmakers have pinpointed a few favorites that they believe will be contenders. Meanwhile, there are a few noteworthy drivers entering the exhibition race as major underdogs.
Here, we will look at the current betting odds for Sunday’s NASCAR All-Star Race.
Denny Hamlin favored to win second career NASCAR All-Star Race
As winner of the last two Cup Series races at Dover, it is no surprise that Denny Hamlin is favored to win this Sunday. DraftKings Sportsbooks, as of Wednesday evening Eastern time, has the driver of the No. 11 at +370 odds to win.
Hamlin is a one-time winner of the All-Star Race, which came back in 2015 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
In last year’s points-paying Dover race, the Joe Gibbs Racing driver led 67 of 400 laps to claim his third Dover victory. The 45-year-old paced the field for 136 of 400 laps in the 2024 Dover race.
Kyle Larson has the second-best odds to win at +550. The driver of the No. 5 is a two-time All-Star Race winner, with victories at Charlotte in 2019 and at Texas in 2021.
At Dover, the two-time and defending Cup Series champion has one victory in 2019 and five top-five finishes in his last seven starts.
Chase Elliott enters “The Monster Mile” with the third-best odds to win at +650. The driver of the No. 9 is a two-time Dover winner, with his latest victory coming in 2022. Elliott captured an All-Star Race victory back in 2020 at Bristol, the same year he won the series championship.
Despite not currently being locked into the All-Star Race, Alex Bowman sits at +1100 odds to win on Sunday. The driver of the No. 48 has a victory at Dover back in 2021 and has four top fives in his last five Dover starts.
While he has yet to clinch a spot in the field, Bowman leads the All-Star Race fan vote, as of Monday morning.
Tyler Reddick and other longshots for NASCAR All-Star Race
Through 12 races in 2026, Tyler Reddick has dominated.
Either the driver of the No. 45 has won the race or come just shy of doing so in nearly every race this season. He has five victories, including the first three races of the season.
Entering Sunday’s All-Star Race, Reddick is a considerable underdog at +1300 odds. His Dover resume does not stand out, but has three straight finishes of 12th or better at the track.
Yet, with the momentum Reddick has had this season, +1300 is a solid number for bettors this weekend.
Another longshot to watch for is Chase Briscoe at +1600 odds. Seeking his first All-Star Race victory, the driver of the No. 19 placed runner-up at Dover last year.
Finally, Kyle Busch enters Sunday at +2800 to win. The 2017 All-Star Race winner has shown top-10 speed in the last three weeks and is coming off an eighth-place run at Watkins Glen, his best finish of the season.
At Dover, Busch started on the pole and finished fourth in the 2024 race.
The NASCAR All-Star Race is set to begin at 1 p.m. Eastern time. It is set to air on FS1 or can be listened to on the Motor Racing Network.
