The NASCAR season continues this week at Talladega Superspeedway for the GEICO 500.
Chase Eliott sits in the top spot of the NASCAR Cup Series standings, despite still not winning a race this year. His consistency, which has been highlighted by zero DNFs and six top 10 finishes, has proven to be the key to his success. With that being a said, he’ll need to win sooner rather than later if he wants to hold on to the top spot.
Only 51 points seperates Elliott with Kyle Busch, who sits in sixth place, so this season is still anyone’s to win.
Here are the top 10 odds via WynnBET to win this week’s GEICO 500.

Pick to Win the GEICO 500
I always feel like a square bettor when I back the betting favorite, but I think Ryan Blaney is the bet to make this weekend. He won three of the last four races held at Talladega Superspeedway, including the 2019 1000Bulb.com 500 and the 2020 GEICO 500.
He’s also been fantastic this season, sitting only three points back from Elliott for the top spot in the standings. He hasn’t won yet, but he has four top five finishes in nine starts and six top 10s. It’s not a matter of if he’s going to win this season, it’s a matter of when.
And why not get your first win at a track that you’ve dominated throughout your career?
Pick: Ryan Blaney +1000
