Significant Odds Boost for Chase Elliott in Brickyard 400 Race Betting
Chase Elliott, the current number one ranked driver in the NASCAR Cup Series, is gearing up for the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis on Saturday. Elliott's odds for winning the race stand at +1000, making him one of the favourites for the coveted title.
Elliott's recent performance statistics suggest that these odds are well-deserved. At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Elliott finished 13th in 2025 and 10th in 2024, demonstrating consistency in the top 15 at this track.
Elliott's track record extends beyond Indianapolis. He ranks first among active drivers with an average finish of 9.8 at road courses and has multiple top-10 finishes at demanding tracks like Pocono Raceway and Dover Motor Speedway, with wins and strong top-five showings in both.
Hendrick Motorsports, Elliott’s team, is historically dominant at tricky venues like Pocono, reflecting strong team performance and strategic mastery, which influences Elliott's prospects positively. Elliott himself has 2 wins and 10 top-five finishes at Dover, another high-banked, challenging track similar to aspects of Indianapolis, with a career average finish of 9.5 at Dover, second-best among active drivers.
In his last five races, Elliott has had a strong run, with a win at the Quaker State 400 and a third place finish at the Toyota/Save Mart 350 road race. Despite a sixth place finish, Elliott led for 238 total laps at the EchoPark Automotive 400 and extended his hot five-race stretch, with a top-500 finish at the Great American Getaway 400.
Legal sports betting sites have not leaned heavily on Elliott's odds for the Brickyard 400. However, Elliott has the fourth shortest odds for a top-10 finish (-200) and the sixth shortest odds for a top-5 finish (+175) in the race. He also has the third shortest odds to be the top Chevy driver in the Brickyard 400, with +400 odds.
Other drivers with notable odds for the Brickyard 400 include Denny Hamlin, with 400 odds, and Ryan Blaney, William Byron, and Chase Briscoe, all with 800 odds. Kyle Larson has 450 odds to win the race, but Elliott's consistent performance and strong track record give him an edge.
In conclusion, Elliott's recent consistent results at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, his strong track record at similar and challenging tracks, plus Hendrick Motorsports’ historical success at such venues, justify the high odds of him winning the 2025 Brickyard 400.
Betting sites have listed Elliott as one of the favourites for the Brickyard 400 with odds of +1000, acknowledging his track record and recent performance. His odds for a top-10 finish stand at a relatively short -200, reflecting confidence in his consistency.
