2026 NASCAR Goodyear 400 odds, picks, props: best bets from proven racing experts

Denny Hamlin will look to make it two wins in a row when he competes as the odds-on favorite to win Sunday's Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway. Hamlin dominated last week's Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas as he led for 134 laps en route to the victory. He defeated Chase Elliott by 0.502 seconds as he won his first race of the season and 61st of his career. Hamlin is the Goodyear 400 favorite at +500 (risk $100 to win $500) at FanDuel.

Among the other favorites are the trio of Tyler Reddick, Kyle Larson and Chase Briscoe at +600, William Byron (+750) and Christopher Bell (+850). Sunday's race is set to start at 3 p.m. ET. Joe Gibbs Racing is the +150 favorite to be the winning team for Sunday's race, followed by Hendrick Motorsports (+260) and 23XI Racing (+490).

For the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series Goodyear400 at Darlington Raceway, we can tell you Bobbitt and Greco are backing Tyler Reddick over Chase Briscoe (-115 TheScore, -120 Caesars) in a head-to-head matchup. "Reddick checks in as our second-ranked driver this week with a projected finish of 5.5," Bobbitt said. "Briscoe sits eighth at 9.1. With two wins in his last four Darlington starts, this might feel like a slight to Briscoe. The data is not nearly as sentimental. In comparable track data from 2024-2025, Reddick leads the field in fastest laps at 25.3 per race, while Briscoe ranks eighth at 15.1. Reddick also owns the best average running position in the dataset at 6.7, which is 3.8 positions better than Briscoe, and spends 18.2% more time inside the top-15.

"Briscoe's Darlington résumé is real. The speed profile underneath it just doesn't match Reddick's. At a track where the wall is always in play, Reddick has made a career out of living inches from it and somehow making it work. It's not always clean, but it's consistently fast. And at Darlington, that's usually the difference."
