Kyle Larson will look to win back-to-back races and finish in the top 10 for the fifth time this season on Sunday at the 2025 NASCAR Cup Cook Out 400 at Martinsville Speedway in Ridgeway, Va. Larson held on to win last week's Straight Talk Wireless 400 at Homestead-Miami. He is looking to become the second driver this year to earn multiple wins. Christopher Bell logged three wins in a row spanning the end of February to the start of this month and will start on Sunday's pole.
Ryan Blaney is the favorite at +400, with Larson at +500, Denny Hamlin and Chase Elliott at +650, William Byron at +700, and Joey Logano and Bell at +900 in the latest 2025 Cook Out 400 at Martinsville Speedway odds. Sunday's race is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. ET.
Before making any NASCAR at Martinsville Speedway picks, you NEED to see what CBS Sports NASCAR writer Steven Taranto has to say.
Taranto, who moonlights as a sim racer and has 20 career wins in iRacing, is the lead NASCAR writer for CBSSports.com, and he chronicles stock car racing with the same thoroughness and passion that he's had since becoming a full-time race fan in 2001. He has an annual NASCAR media credential and also publishes a popular weekly NASCAR predictions column, famously calling Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez's breakthrough wins in 2022. Taranto was red-hot for SportsLine in 2024 as he nailed 17 winners, including 16-1 longshot William Byron at the Daytona 500 and 14-1 longshot Chase Elliott at Texas. Anybody following his NASCAR picks has seen HUGE returns!
For the 2025 Cook Out 400, Taranto is high on Ryan Blaney. A curveball: He's fading Christopher Bell, even though he won three races in a row this season. "Christopher Bell has come back down to Earth the last two weeks after rattling off three wins in a row, finishing 12th at Las Vegas before running 29th at Homestead after crashing in the first stage," Taranto told SportsLine. "Unfortunately for Bell, his recent results at Martinsville don't suggest that this is the place for him to get back to the pace he had only a few weeks ago."
Taranto also locked in four more 2025 NASCAR at Las Vegas best bets and is high on a MAJOR dark horse who is going off at 110-1! You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see his picks before locking in any NASCAR picks of your own.
