2026 AdventHealth 400 odds, picks: NASCAR projected leaderboard from proven model

The Cup Series makes its first of two trips to Kansas Speedway this season on Sunday for the AdventHealth 400 2026. The green flag for NASCAR at Kansas drops at 2 p.m. ET on the 1.500-miles tri-oval track. Kyle Larson is the back-to-back winner of this race, but prior to his dominance, Joe Gibbs Racing had won three of the previous four NASCAR Kansas spring races. Tyler Reddick sits atop the Cup Series standings and also enters the 2026 AdventHealth 400 with a Kansas victory to his name, courtesy of the fall race.

Larson tops the 2026 NASCAR Kansas odds board at +340, followed by Denny Hamlin (+430) and Christopher Bell (+500). Reddick comes in at +1000, as does William Byron, while last week's winner, Ty Gibbs, is a longshot. He's at +1500 to utilize in 2026 AdventHealth 400 bets after collecting his first-ever Cup Series victory a week ago in Bristol.

Before making any 2026 AdventHealth 400 picks or NASCAR predictions, you need to see what auto racing insider Mike McClure has to say.

McClure is a legendary professional DFS player with more than $2 million in career winnings. He uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every lap of NASCAR action, taking factors such as matchups and statistical trends into account. 

All told, the model has nailed a whopping 29 winners since 2021 and hit 11 winners in 2025! Anyone who followed its lead on those NASCAR picks could have seen HUGE returns.

For NASCAR at Kansas, the model is fading Denny Hamlin (+430), saying he barely cracks the top 5 despite being one of the favorites. Another surprise: Alex Bowman (+3300) is projected to make a strong run towards the title. Bowman's had a rough year, including missing four races due to vertigo. But he's always been in the running for a checkered flag at Kansas and has six top 10s over his last seven trips to Kansas Speedway.

The model has also identified two other longshots of over +4000 who make runs for the top of the leaderboard, including a massive longshot north of +7000, potentially netting any backer a huge payday!
