It\u2019s time to crown a champion. The finale of the NASCAR<\/a> Cup Series season is here, as the stage is set for a thrilling championship-deciding race at Phoenix Raceway this coming Sunday.<\/p>\n

In the penultimate race of the NASCAR season at Martinsville, William Byron<\/a> won his way into the Championship 4. He\u2019ll race against his teammate Kyle Larson<\/a> and two Joe Gibbs Racing wheelmen in Denny Hamlin<\/a> and Chase Briscoe<\/a>. Only Larson has a championship to his name already.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the green flag, BetMGM Sportsbook<\/a> has released the latest odds. Check out where your favorite driver stands as NASCAR\u2019s best prepare for Phoenix. All eyes will be on the Championship 4, but remember, you don\u2019t have to win the race to win the championship, even if it\u2019s become expected over the last decade.<\/p>\n

Denny Hamlin (+375)<\/p>\n

Denny Hamlin enters Phoenix as the prohibitive favorite. He\u2019s never won a Cup Series title in his illustrious NASCAR career, but he\u2019s among the best to ever grace the sport behind the wheel. His 60 wins are evidence of that, and a championship is the main from his mantle.<\/p>\n

His last win at Phoenix came back in Nov. 2019. Earlier this season, he finished as the runner-up in the desert to his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate in Christopher Bell. This is the fifth appearance in the Championship 4, we\u2019ll see if it\u2019s the time he finally gets over the hump.<\/p>\n

Kyle Larson (+425)<\/p>\n

Kyle Larson is back in the Championship 4 for the third time. He won the championship back in his first appearance, which came in 2021. This hasn\u2019t been his most dominant season, but his talent has been on full display throughout the playoffs, as he\u2019s the lone driver in the Championship 4 who didn\u2019t win his way in during the Round of 8.<\/p>\n

Phoenix has always been one of his best tracks. His last win in the desert came in 2021, when he clinched his first career Cup Series title. It remains his lone win at the track, but he finished third at the venue earlier this season, right behind Denny Hamlin. We\u2019ll see if he can win title No. 2 this weekend.<\/p>\n

William Byron (+500)<\/p>\n

William Byron had to win his way into the Championship 4, and he\u2019s back in Phoenix to race for the title for the third season in a row. After a dominant performance at Martinsville, perhaps this is the season he\u2019s finally able to get over the hump, as he won\u2019t have to deal with Team Penske at Phoenix this time around. <\/p>\n

He does have a win at the track, but that came back in March of 2023. He finished sixth at the venue earlier this season, and he always has plenty of speed. Byron seems to be on a championship trajectory, but he has to finish the job. Maybe this is the year he gets it done.<\/p>\n

Chase Briscoe (+600)<\/p>\n

Chase Briscoe won his way into the Championship 4 at Talladega. That\u2019s not to say he doesn\u2019t deserve to be here. He\u2019s been one of the more consistent wheelmen in the field since joining Joe Gibbs Racing, especially over the course of the second half of the season.<\/p>\n

The No. 19 Toyota team has found a way to compete seemingly each and every week. Earlier this season though, Briscoe had trouble in the desert, as he finished P35 after starting P30. He does have a win at the track though, one that came back in March of 2022 when he was racing for Stewart-Haas Racing.<\/p>\n

Ryan Blaney (+600)<\/p>\n

Ryan Blaney fell agonizingly short at Martinsville. He was the only competitor with something for William Byron, but he had to settle for a runner-up finish in Virginia, as he narrowly missed out on returning to the Championship 4 to represent Team Penske.<\/p>\n

Moving ahead to the final race of the season, perhaps Blaney can play a bit of spoiler in the desert. He\u2019s actually never won at the track, but he does have four runner-up finishes. That\u2019d be a strong way to end the season, even if he doesn\u2019t win the championship for doing so.<\/p>\n

Christopher Bell (+900)<\/p>\n

\"ChristopherMark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images<\/p>\n

Christopher Bell didn\u2019t have the car to win in Martinsville, but he didn\u2019t have to. He simply had to beat Kyle Larson on points, but he couldn\u2019t get the job done, as the Hendrick Motorsports star bested him in Virginia. <\/p>\n

All isn\u2019t lost for Bell. He can still sweep the season at Phoenix, as he won at the track earlier this season. He\u2019ll be hoping one of his two Joe Gibbs Racing teammates can win the championship, but Bell has plenty to race for in his own right, as well.<\/p>\n

Joey Logano (+1200)<\/p>\n

Joey Logano couldn\u2019t play the system this time around. His bid at repeating as champion in the NASCAR Cup Series fell short in the Round of 8. Still, he\u2019ll do what he can to fight for one more win at Phoenix this weekend.<\/p>\n

Of course, Logano won at the track last season, when he notched championship No. 3. He can gain some serious momentum for another even-year run with a win this weekend in Arizona.<\/p>\n

Chase Elliott (+1500)<\/p>\n

Chase Elliott watched as two of his Hendrick teammates made the Championship 4 in Martinsville. His trouble at Talladega doomed his playoff run, and the former Cup Series champion won\u2019t have an opportunity at No. 2 this coming Sunday.<\/p>\n

Now, Elliott will hope to send his large fanbase home happy with a win at Phoenix. He\u2019s won there one time in the past, so another dub in the desert would be a perfect way for him to end his season, one where he proved once again he\u2019s to be mentioned among the best in the Cup Series.<\/p>\n
