Favorites
Denny Hamlin (Odds +550)
For starters, Denny Hamlin is our early favorite. This driver has won two races this year and his results in the playoffs have been consistent. In its last five races, he finished 2nd, 9th, 10th, 5th, and 13th. He is in seventh place in the championship and still qualifies for this new stage of the playoffs. His consistency makes him the odds-on favorite.
Chase Elliott (Odds +800)
In second place, we have the current driver and playoff leader, Chase Elliott. He has a total of 4046 points and 5 race wins this season, more than any other driver. His most recent victory was at Talladega.
However, despite this good season, since the playoffs began his results have been irregular: he has finished below 30th place twice, within the top 20 twice, within the top 5 once, and won one race.
Christopher Bell (Odds +800)
On the other hand, Christopher Bell is in fourth place in the championship and, to be true, he has had incredible results since the playoffs began. Of the six races that have been run so far, he has had one win, three top 5 positions, one top 20, and only one position below 30th place. This makes him a reliable driver for this South Point 400 on Sunday.
Sleeper Picks
Kyle Larson (Odds +800)
For our sleeper picks, we have, first of all, Kyle Larson. This driver came out of the 8 playoff qualifiers recently. However, despite not qualifying, he has finished in high positions, and, most recently, he got a fifth place in Texas. We are talking about an aggressive driver who will certainly want to accumulate as many points as possible to finish as high as possible in this South Point 400.
Tyler Reddick (Odds +900)
On the other hand, Tyler Reddick won two races ago and since the second half of the season has won on three occasions. In the last competition, Bank of America Roval 400, he came in eighth place. No longer in the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series playoffs, he was eliminated after the round of 16.
Dark Horse
Kyle Busch (Odds +1000)
Finally, we have Kyle Busch. This is an experienced driver who has not had such high results since the playoffs began. His highest placing from Darlington to Talladega was 20th. However, in the last race he came in third place, which is why he is our dark horse for this South Point 400.
