The odds for who will stand above the field as the 2025 NASCAR<\/a><\/strong> Cup Series champion have been updated following this past weekend\u2019s Chicago Street Race. Shane van Gisbergen<\/a><\/strong> was victorious, notching his second win of the season in the process.<\/p>\n

Still, oddsmakers aren\u2019t ready to move him into the top spots, among contenders like Kyle Larson<\/a><\/strong> and Christopher Bell<\/a><\/strong>. Could he change their minds with another win at Sonoma Raceway this weekend? That\u2019ll be the goal for the Trackhouse Racing star.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, FanDuel Sportsbook<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0has released its updated betting lines for which driver will stand above all at the end of the year as champion after all of the action in the Windy City. Here\u2019s where each wheelman stands entering Sonoma this coming weekend.<\/p>\n

Kyle Larson (+350)<\/p>\n

Kyle Larson was all over the place in Chicago, but he delivered the No. 5 Chevrolet team a solid result at P13 when the checkered flag waved. He wasn\u2019t able to compete for the win, but it was a good showing for the former Cup Series champion over Fourth of July weekend.<\/p>\n

Sonoma has been an incredible track for Larson in his career. He has two wins and five poles at the track. He\u2019s entering as the defending champion, but the competition will be a little stiffer with SVG in the field.<\/p>\n

Christopher Bell (+550)<\/p>\n

Christopher Bell found himself fighting for his life multiple times during this past weekend\u2019s race in Chicago. He dealt with some issues on Sunday, leading to a P24 finish after entering with high hopes.<\/p>\n

Over the course of his Cup Series career, Bell has steadily improved at Sonoma. His best finish may only be P9, which he\u2019s done twice in the past two seasons, but don\u2019t count him out in California. <\/p>\n

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

Ryan Blaney isn\u2019t known for his road course racing prowess, but that didn\u2019t matter on Sunday. He put up a solid performance, finishing P12 \u2014 an ironic number for the No. 12 Ford wheelman. <\/p>\n

Sonoma has been a mixed bag for Blaney in his career. His best finish is third, but that came back in 2019. He did finish P7 last season, which he would certainly approve of this time around.<\/p>\n

Denny Hamlin (+650)<\/p>\n

Denny Hamlin notched a top five in Chicago. After starting in dead-last, he was giddy with excitement following his performance on the street course. It was an impressive showing for the veteran wheelman.<\/p>\n

This will be Hamlin\u2019s 19th attempt at winning in Sonoma. The past three seasons haven\u2019t been kind to him, but the Joe Gibbs Racing driver does have a runner-up finish, which came via Tony Stewart back in 2016.<\/p>\n

William Byron (+750)<\/p>\n

William Byron is ready to throw out whatever happened to him in Chicago. He started P38 and finished P40 on the afternoon. It was far from the showing you would\u2019ve expected out of the Hendrick Motorsports star.<\/p>\n

Sonoma has been a mixed bag for Byron in his career. He only has one top ten, and that came in 2022 (P9). He finished P30 after starting P6 last season.<\/p>\n

Chase Elliott (+1000)<\/p>\n

Tyler Reddick (+1300)<\/p>\n

Tyler Reddick needed a couple more laps to see if he could\u2019ve caught Ty Gibbs and Shane van Gisbergen. As it stood, he ran out of time. The 23XI Racing wheelman had to settle for a podium finish in third.<\/p>\n

Prior to last season, Sonoma was one of Reddick\u2019s worst tracks, at least result-wise. He\u2019s always qualified well at the road course. He\u2019ll need to put together a complete weekend this time around for the result he desires. <\/p>\n

Joey Logano (+1300)<\/p>\n

Joey Logano recovered from a late spin, courtesy of Ross Chastain, to notch a P11 finish. He was around the top ten all day, proving once again he can compete on all sorts of tracks in the Cup Series.<\/p>\n

Last season, Logano started on the pole at Sonoma. However, it didn\u2019t translate to a win, or even a top ten, as he finished P21. His best finish is third, which came in 2016 \u2014 we\u2019ll see if he can get it done in attempt No. 16.<\/p>\n
