The second half of the NASCAR Cup Series kicks off at Charlotte Motor Speedway with the 2025 Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday, marking the season’s first night race. The event starts at 6 p.m. ET. Fans are particularly focusing on three teams—Joe Gibbs, Hendrick, and Penske—who have dominated the last eight races at this venue. While top contenders like Kyle Larson (+600) and Denny Hamlin (+800) are understandably favored, it might be worth exploring their teammates for valuable bets.

Chase Elliott, now priced at -150 for a top 10 finish, boasts a history of success at this track, including a victory in 2020 and consistent top-10 finishes. Ty Gibbs, despite a tough season, has shown improvement and has been competitive at Charlotte. Lastly, Joey Logano, coming off strong performances, brings a favorable track record and is another top longshot option at +1800.

Top Longshot Bets for the 2025 NASCAR Coca-Cola 600:

• Chase Elliott (+1200)
  Not only does Hendrick Motorsports have the most wins (12) in Coca-Cola 600 history, but Elliott’s consistency this season makes him a serious contender.
• Ty Gibbs (+1800)
  Gibbs has improved performances and a history of success at Charlotte, making him a worthy pick.
• Joey Logano (+1800)
