The Brickyard 400 stormed onto the NASCAR Cup Series scene in 1994, electrifying fans as stock car racing’s elite thundered onto the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the iconic heart of the Indianapolis 500.
Despite being the youngest of NASCAR’s crown jewel races, the Brickyard 400 quickly earned prestige.
Although it was briefly absent from the schedule between 2021 and 2023, its much-anticipated return in 2024 has restored its status as one of the most sought-after victories.
This renewed significance adds extra weight to Sunday’s event. Last year, Kyle Larson conquered the Brickyard 400, adding to his electrifying victories in the Southern 500 and Coca-Cola 600.
Now, Denny Hamlin is on the brink of making history—just one Brickyard 400 win away from completing the legendary crown jewel sweep, a feat he’s fiercely chasing this Sunday.

NASCAR Brickyard 400 Odds
Kyle Larson
Kyle Larson has experienced mixed results at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, crashing twice in seven starts but also claiming victory last year.
He boasts two Top 5s, four Top 10s, and an average finish of 13.9 at this track, plus he’s led laps in each of the last two Brickyard 400s.
Last weekend in Dover, I fully expected Larson to win—and he delivered a strong Top 5 finish.
Although he didn’t overtake Hamlin for the top spot, Larson powered the No. 5 car from 25th on the grid to an impressive fourth-place result, proving his speed and determination are intact.

Now, Larson returns to the site of his IndyCar debut crash, making this a prime chance for redemption—especially after the aftermath of that difficult “Double” attempt seemed to affect him for more than a month.
With momentum on his side, I like Larson’s chances better than anyone else’s this weekend.
Will he seize this pivotal moment and capture his fourth win of the season on Sunday? I’d place a small wager on Larson this weekend.
Denny Hamlin
Denny Hamlin held off the competition to win at Dover last weekend, marking his second straight victory at that track and his Cup Series-leading fourth win of the season.
However, despite 16 IMS starts at this venue, Hamlin has yet to secure a win here.
He does have five Top 5s, eight Top 10s, and an average finish of 14.6, but his last two Brickyard 400 appearances ended in crashes.

Despite being labeled the pre-race favorite, I remain highly skeptical of Hamlin’s prospects. His recent track record here, marred by DNFs, hardly inspires confidence.
Finishing in the Top 10 would be an overachievement for him this weekend. I’m passing on Hamlin to win this one.
Chase Elliott
Chase Elliott is another driver I’m optimistic about heading into Indy this weekend. He delivered as expected at Dover, and I anticipate another strong showing.
In seven starts at Indianapolis, Elliott has two Top 10 finishes and an average finish of 16.7.
Notably, he’s posted four straight Top 15s and averaged a 10.0 finish over the last three Brickyard 400s, including a 10th-place run last year.
This week, I expect the No. 9 car to contend for the win and comfortably finish inside the Top 10. Elliott recently took over the lead in the driver standings from William Byron, thanks to his impressive consistency.
I expect that momentum to carry into Sunday’s race. I would also bet on Elliott coming out on top in this race at +900 odds, it’s tremendous value.
Tyler Reddick
Tyler Reddick stands out as this weekend’s clear frontrunner.
Holding the best average finish in the field at Indy—a 5.0 across two starts—Reddick finished 8th in 2020 and was runner-up last year, after starting on the pole and leading 40 laps.
So close to making the final round, but just wasn’t meant to be. Appreciate everyone’s effort and everything that has gone into making this in-season challenge happen. pic.twitter.com/3FhVdJCBru

Reddick will seize his first victory of the year this week. The No. 45 car has undeniable momentum, averaging a 6.25 finish over the past four races and surging to 5th in the standings.
Reddick is a major contender on Sunday. At +1000 his odds offer better value than almost any other pre-race favorite.
