CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Charlotte Motor Speedway’s Roval configuration this weekend for the pivotal Round of 12 elimination race, where four drivers will see their championship hopes dashed. With the pressure mounting and the playoff field tightening, sportsbooks and online casinos for Canadian players have released odds that reflect both recent performance and road course prowess.
Favorites to Win at the Roval
Tyler Reddick (+450): Reddick enters Charlotte as the betting favorite, thanks to his road course dominance and recent top-five finishes. His aggressive style and precision in the braking zones make him a formidable threat.Chase Elliott (+500): Though not in the playoffs, Elliott remains a road course ace. He’s won twice at the Roval and could play spoiler while padding Hendrick Motorsports’ trophy case.Christopher Bell (+650): Bell won this race last year to advance and is once again on the bubble. With Toyota showing speed, Bell is a popular pick to repeat his clutch performance.
Drivers on the Bubble
Ross Chastain (+1200): Sitting just below the cut line, Chastain needs a strong run to advance. His odds reflect both his unpredictability and potential for late-race heroics.Brad Keselowski (+1600): The RFK Racing veteran is in a must-perform situation. While not known for road course excellence, his consistency could be enough to sneak through.
Long Shots with Upset Potential
Michael McDowell (+2500): A road course specialist, McDowell could surprise if strategy plays into his favor. He’s shown flashes of brilliance on similar layouts.Daniel Suárez (+3000): Suárez has the skillset but lacks recent momentum. Still, his Trackhouse Racing team has been strong on technical tracks.
