With William Byron winning at Daytona and Kyle Larson taking the victory in Miami last week, Hendrick Motorsports has established itself as a dominant presence in the lead-up to the 2025 Cook Out 400. Their recent achievements at Martinsville find Byron and Larson as top contenders with odds of +500 and +650 respectively. Ryan Blaney leads the pack as the favorite at +450. Notably, two-time Martinsville winner Brad Keselowski stands at +3000 for longshot bets.

Three top longshot picks from the model:

1. Kyle Busch (+2200 at DraftKings)
   Nicknamed the ‘King of the Short Track’, Busch dominates these circuits with a record of 16 wins at short tracks, paired with an impressive average finish of 11.9. His track record includes two Martinsville victories with a strong top-5 performance in 44% of his starts.

2. Ross Chastain (+2200 at DraftKings)
   Previously struggling, Chastain has shown significant improvement at Martinsville since joining Trackhouse Racing in 2022, averaging a placement of 9.5 in recent races.

3. Josh Berry (+3000 at Bet365)
   After a stellar rookie season, Berry clinched his first Cup victory in Vegas just weeks ago. He aims to build on his experience from winning the 2021 Cook Out 250 at Martinsville this weekend.
