Before we take a look at the top contenders and get into the analysis and predictions for this race, check out our how-to bet on NASCAR page.

Ryan Blaney (+800)

In 2021, Blaney drove his No. 12 Penske Ford to an Atlanta victory.

In the past two years, he's run second and fourth.

Joey Logano (+800)

Logano was the winner of this race in 2023. His resume also shows a second, a fourth, and two sixths at Atlanta. However, he ran 36th in last year's race.

Austin Cindric (+1000)

Cindric runs his best on this track in even-numbered years. He was third in 2022 and fourth in 2024.

Denny Hamlin (+1400)

Hamlin has won this race, but you have to go all the way back to 2012 to watch a video of him driving down Victory Lane. He ran sixth here a year ago.

William Byron (+1400)

He couldn't make history and win his third straight Daytona 500. Still, Byron was right there with the front-runners as they took the checkered flag.

Byron won one of the two Atlanta races in 2022. However, in the past two races at the track, he's finished 17th and 27th.

Chase Elliott (+1600)

Elliott was a race winner in Atlanta in 2022. That was among five top-10 finishes for the No. 9 car in 10 starts on this track.

Brad Keselowski (+1600)

Keselowski was an Atlanta victor in both the 2017 and 2019 races. He's also recorded a pair of seconds among 11 top-10 finishes around this circuit.

Kyle Larson (+1600)

The defending NASCAR Cup Series champion ran third in last year's Atlanta race. It was his best performance since Larson ran second in the 2017 race.

Kyle Busch (+1600)

Busch has gone 93 consecutive Cup Series races without a win. He turned in a seventh-place finish last year in Atlanta. Busch won the Atlanta race in 2013.

Autotrader 400 Longshots To Consider

Christopher Bell (+2000) is the defending champion in this race. Carson Hocevar (+3000) ran second in last year's race, while Ricky Stenhouse Jr. (+4000) finished third.

Daniel Suarez (+5000) was the 2024 race winner. You can get +2000 odds in the NASCAR betting lines on Daytona 500 winner Tyler Reddick. He ran fifth in Atlanta in 2023.

Best NASCAR Future Bets

He's competing in the NASCAR Cup Series for the 22nd year in a row. And he's participated in 17 of 18 NASCAR Cup playoffs. The one thing Hamlin has never done is win a Cup Series title. Oddsmakers think this could be the year. Of course, it's still early, but it's Hamlin who is set as the +365 chalk to win the Cup Series championship in NASCAR futures.

Larson, the reigning series champion, is the second choice in this betting market at +400. Byron, another driver seeking his first series title, is given a NASCAR betting line of +550. He's followed by Blaney, the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion, and Bell. Each driver is offered at a NASCAR betting line of +600 to be the series winner.

Elliott and Chase Briscoe, both at+1000, Reddick (+1400), and Logano (+1800) are other drivers given odds shorter than +2000 to be the season champion.

NASCAR Autotrader 400 Pick

Blaney and Logano were the betting picks at Daytona, but didn't get the job done. A week later, look for them to both be running up front again.
