Ryan Blaney (+500)

Blaney also shows a second and two third places among six top-five finishes over that time period.

Denny Hamlin (+500)

Hamlin won last year's Cook Out 400, his fourth career win in this race. He's finished in the top six in five of the past seven Martinsville races.

William Byron (+500)

Byron drove his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet to victory in the 2022 and 2024 Cook Out 400 races. He also won last year's fall race at Martinsville.

Kyle Larson (+600)

Larson qualified on the pole for last year's race and wound up finishing fifth. It was his fourth top-five in the past five years, including a win in the 2023 Cook Out 400.

Christopher Bell (+700)

Bell ran second in last year's race, his best showing in six starts in the Martinsville spring race. He won the fall Martinsville race in 2022.

Chase Elliott (+800)

Elliott has recorded nine straight top-10 finishes in the Cook Out 400. That includes a pair of seconds and a third. He won at Martinsville in the fall of 2020 and also has a second and a third in that race.

Tyler Reddick (+800)

Reddick was back in the winner's circle at last week's Goodyear 400 following a two-race absence from Victory Lane. From six starts in this race, his best showing is a seventh in 2024.

Overall, in 12 Martinsville starts, Reddick has recorded just two top-10 finishes.

Cook Out 400 Longshots To Consider

Brad Keselowski (+2000) has won this race twice, in 2017 and 2019. Kyle Busch (+5000) won the Cook Out 400 in 2016.

Bubba Wallace (+1600) ran third in last year's race, among three Toyotas that finished in the top three. Wallace finished fourth in the 2024 Cook Out 400.

Best NASCAR Future Bets

With 325 points, Reddick is the runaway leader in the NASCAR Cup Series standings. He's already 95 points ahead of runner-up Blaney.

What he isn't is the betting favorite to win the Cup Series title in NASCAR futures. The co-owner of his car is.

Hamlin has one win this season and sits fourth in the current season standings. However, he and reigning series champion Larson are the +520 co-favorites to take the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series title. Hamlin and basketball icon Michael Jordan are the co-owners of Reddick's race team.

Reddick is set as the +610 third betting choice, just ahead of William Byron at +620. Blaney (+710), Elliott (+810), and Christopher Bell (+820) are also offered at NASCAR betting lines shorter than +1000.

You can access NASCAR odds of +5000 on Reddick's teammate, Bubba Wallace. He's currently third in the standings.
