Favorites
Chase Elliott (+1200)
Driver Chase Elliott is our early favorite. He is in seventh place in the championship table, and since the playoffs began his highest results have been in 11th and 2nd place. In the most recent Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 he came in 32nd place.
Denny Hamlin (+1300)
Our second favorite is Denny Hamlin. This driver has had excellent results since the playoffs began, finishing second in the first two races and getting two top 10 finishes in the last two. For this reason, he is recognized as a potential winner.
Joey Logano (+1300)
In third place we have Joey Logano. He is the current leader of the drivers’ championship and in the last four races he has finished 4th, 17th, 27th and 2nd. Except for one race, he has had consistent results. Undoubtedly, due to his victories and solidity on the asphalt, he has great probabilities of being crowned or achieving podium positions.
Sleeper Picks
Ryan Blaney (+1300)
For our sleeper picks we have Ryan Blaney. This driver finished 4th in the most recent race in Texas. On the other hand, he finished 13th, 9th and 30th in the other three games since the playoffs began. He has not had the greatest consistency, but he has had good enough results to be considered a threat by the favorites to win.
Kyle Larson (+1400)
Kyle Larson is in fourth place in the drivers’ championship and has accumulated two top-10 finishes and a fifth place finish to consolidate his position as one of the best-performing drivers. However, passing the favorites is no easy task, so it will be a challenge to come in first among so much talent and pressure.
Dark Horse
William Byron (+1400)
Finally, William Byron is our dark horse. Although the oddsmakers position him with lower odds, his playoff results have all been in the top 10 and one top 3. He has 3058 points and is 13 points behind leader Joey Logano. He is definitely the man to consider when talking about a surprise candidate to steal the win.

JefeBet Prediction
By all accounts, Denny Hamlin may be the winner of the YellaWood 500. He is a driver with consistent results and has performed well since the playoffs began. The actuality of a pilot in such an unpredictable discipline, in its most crucial stage, is one of the best weapons to possess.
