Before the NASCAR Cup Series engages in its annual All-Star event in North Carolina next week, it will visit Kansas Speedway for the 2025 AdventHealth 400 this Sunday. The start time for this race is set for 3 p.m. ET. Last year’s race had an exhilarating conclusion, with Kyle Larson narrowly defeating Chris Buescher by just 0.001 seconds—the tightest finish in NASCAR Cup Series history. Larson leads the odds at +375 for this year’s race, while Ryan Blaney is priced at +650, despite having no wins in his previous 20 races at this track.
Other contenders for this upcoming race include Tyler Reddick (+700) and Denny Hamlin (+800). NASCAR enthusiasts should consider these bets before locking in their lineups on platforms like DraftKings or FanDuel. Make sure to check out the current sports predictions from SportsLine’s renowned model.
Built by daily fantasy expert Mike McClure, this proprietary model simulates each race 10,000 times, factoring in a variety of metrics including track history and recent performance. The model had accurate predictions throughout the 2025 season, including Chase Elliott as a +300 winner at the Clash at Bowman Gray, and a longshot call for Byron at +2000 at Daytona.
Elliott stands out this season as he maintains a strong track record with an average finish of 10.1 at Kansas Speedway, along with four consecutive top-10 finishes. This makes him an enticing bet at +2200.
Additionally, the model anticipates Kyle Busch to finish in the top 10 at +110 odds during the event. At 40 years old, Busch holds a distinguished career with two Cup Series championships and a plethora of wins across various series. Despite missing the playoffs last season, he is currently in contention for the 2025 AdventHealth 400 with four top-10 finishes this year.
The model is also covering three other drivers with odds of 18-1 or longer who could outperform expectations. For a comprehensive look at the race predictions, see the full NASCAR leaderboard projected by SportsLine.
