Ryan Blaney (+375)

Blaney's consecutive wins in this race put him in the unique position of having the chance to join NASCAR icons Richard Petty, Cale Yarbrough, Darrell Waltrip, and Jimmie Johnson as the only drivers to win the Xfinity 500 three years in a row.

Blaney has finished in the top five in more than 50% of his career Cup Series starts at Martinsville.

Denny Hamlin (+500)

Hamlin is a six-time winner at Martinsville. That total includes two wins in the fall race. But it is worth noting that those two wins came in 2009 and 2010.

He won here in the spring. Hamlin is showing a career average finish of 4.8 at Martinsville. He's been a top-10 finisher on this surface nearly 70% of the time.

Kyle Larson (+550)

Larson was a distant 26th in last week's YellaWood 500. He's had a second, a third, and a sixth in his past three starts in the Xfinity 500.

Christopher Bell (+650)

Bell won the Xfinity 500 in 2022. However, in five fall Martinsville races, his only other top-10 run was a seventh-place finish in 2023. Bell was 22nd in last year's race.

He's third among NASCAR Cup Series drivers in wins (four) and top-five finishes (13). Bell leads all drivers with 21 finishes among the top 10.

Chase Elliott (+700)

Elliott was the Xfinity 500 race winner in 2020. He needs a win here to guarantee a spot in the Championship 4.

Joey Logano (+800)

In the Next Gen era, Logano is a perfect seven-for-seven in earning top-10 finishes at Martinsville. He won this race in 2018.

William Byron (+850)

A 25th-place run at Talladega followed a 36th-place finish in Las Vegas for the usually reliable Byron. The Hendrick Motorsport driver has finished outside the top 10 in each of the past three races and in eight of his past 10 starts.

Best NASCAR Martinsville Prop Bets

Three of the drivers currently holding down playoff spots sit behind the wheel of a Toyota, yet Toyota isn't getting much love in this week's race. Chevrolet is set as the +140 favorite to be the winning manufacturer in the Xfinity 500. Ford is given odds of +180, while Toyota is assigned a +185 betting line.

Blaney is the +105 top betting pick to earn a top-10 finish in this race. He's set as the -230 betting choice to be running in the top five at the end of the race.

Hamlin and Larson are both at +170 odds to finish in the top 10, and each driver is -145 to record a top-five finish.

Bell Slight Favorite In NASCAR Cup Series Futures

Even though he's situated third overall in the current playoff standings, the ever-consistent Bell is set at the +250 favorite to emerge as NASCAR Cup Series champion. He's never won the title.

Neither has Hamlin, but it's Hamlin and Larson who are sitting as co-second betting choices in this market at odds of +275. Larson was the NASCAR Cup Series title winner in 2021.

Briscoe was the winner of last week's race at Talladega, earning him a spot in the Championship 4 race. He is getting a betting line of +275 to be the Cup Series champion in NASCAR futures. Oddsmakers are offering odds of +1000 on Blaney, the 2023 champ, winning the title.

NASCAR Xfinity 500 Pick

In the NASCAR Next Gen era, Blaney has absolutely dominated racing at Martinsville. He shows the best average placing of 4.6 and has never finished a race worse than 11th.
