The NASCAR season is in full swing with another race this weekend, and Chase Elliott enters the NASCAR Kwik Trip 250 as the odds-on favorite.
Elliott has the highest NASCAR odds to win this weekend at +450, followed by Kyle Larson at +700 and Ross Chastain at +800. Rounding out the top five odds are Kyle Busch at +1000, along with A. J. Allmendinger, Denny Hamlin, and Martin Truex Jr. at +1200.
There’s no doubt that Elliott has been racing to separate himself from the pack this year. Another victory at the Kwik Trip 250, and he might be able to establish that separation.
Elliott comes in fresh off a victory at the Ally 400 and won this race last year. There are question marks about how he’s adapted to the field catching up on road races, but he’s still a viable option to win on any given race day.

Kurt Busch finished second at the Ally 400, while Ryan Blaney closed out the top three. Blaney has been one of the more consistent drivers, and there’s a lot to like about his direction over the last few months.
With so much parity in NASCAR, it’s hard to gauge where to look in these races, but it does make for a better viewing experience.
The tickets have been spread out for the Kwik Trip 250, with five drivers owning more than 5% of the tickets. Kyle Bush leads the way with 8%, followed by Larson and Daniel Suarez with 7.2%. Allmendinger holds 6.5% of tickets, while Elliott has 6.3%.
The money has been heading in three drivers’ directions, with those racers the only ones with over 10% of the handle. Elliott has the highest handle percentage at 19.4%, followed by Kyle Busch and Larson, both own 14.9% of the handle.
