The NASCAR Cup Series heads to the plains this week for the AdventHealth 400, the first of two races this season at Kansas Speedway. This will be the second race of the year at a 1.5-mile oval and offers a welcome change of pace following consecutive short track races.
With variable banking in the corners, Kansas challenges drivers to carry aggressive speed while managing tire wear over the course of a run. The track’s multiple grooves allow for legitimate passing opportunities, but those who can keep the car on the edge of control — without overstepping it — tend to rise to the top.
Unlike some tracks where chaos can dictate the outcome, Kansas has developed a reputation as one of the more predictable intermediates on the schedule. Long-run speed, track history and organizational strength often translate directly into results, making this a race where the data tends to back up what we see on track.
Below, we break down the NASCAR betting odds to win the AdventHealth 400, highlighting our top picks and best values — from favorites to long shots worth a closer look.

AdventHealth 400 NASCAR Betting Odds to Win
Given the nature of Kansas Speedway, the betting odds to win the AdventHealth 400 closely mirror what we have seen at this track in recent races. While Kyle Larson dominated this event last spring, he checks in as the second choice on the mid-week board this time around.
The distinction of betting favorite belongs to Denny Hamlin, the all-time leader in NASCAR Cup Series wins at Kansas with four. While his most recent victory here came in the spring of 2023, Hamlin continues to show consistent speed at this track, including a runner-up finish last fall.
Christopher Bell is another name that immediately stands out near the top of the board. His finishes of second and third at Kansas last season reinforce the idea that his current odds are firmly backed by recent performance. Just behind him sits Tyler Reddick, a former Kansas winner who has already found victory lane four times this season.

NASCAR Betting Picks and Predictions: Who Will Win the AdventHealth 400 at Kansas Speedway?
Favorite: Christopher Bell (+650)
It’s taking a lot to not make Kyle Larson the pick in the favorites tier this week. Given that he is winless since last year’s AdventHealth 400, he is certainly due. However, it’s impossible to ignore what the Toyota camp has done through the first two months of the 2026 season.
The NASCAR Cup Series has run eight races so far this year, and a Toyota has parked in victory lane at the conclusion of six of them. This includes a dominant performance from Denny Hamlin at Las Vegas. While that track is not a perfect comparison to Kansas, it is the only other 1.5-mile oval the series has visited so far this season.
While the current form could point toward Hamlin or Tyler Reddick as the top options, Bell stands out as the most appealing combination of speed and price point. The No. 20 was a rocket ship through the field last week at Bristol before getting loose and suffering damage that ended his chances of contending. Still seeking his first win of the year, Bell enters this weekend with clear upside.
Bell is winless at Kansas, but his track record suggests that could change at any time. Since joining Joe Gibbs Racing, he has finished eighth or better in all but two of his 10 starts at the track. Three of those results have been top-three finishes, including both races last year. He also owns the best average driver rating in the field over the last four Kansas races.
Value Pick: Chase Briscoe (+1200)
Coming out of last week’s race at Bristol, it’s clear that Chase Briscoe and the No. 19 team are trending in the right direction. After multiple early-season DNFs created a significant points deficit, Briscoe has begun to string together more consistent results. That recent stretch started at Las Vegas, where he brought the car home in eighth.
It’s also worth noting that Briscoe likely had a better finish in the first intermediate race of the season if not for a pit road penalty. Once he returned to the lead lap late in the race, he was carving through the field.
In terms of Kansas Speedway track history, Briscoe lacks the résumé of some of the bigger names on the NASCAR betting board. However, this will be just his third race at the track with Joe Gibbs Racing. In both starts last season, he finished fourth — a clear indicator of the speed this team can bring to Kansas.
Overall, the No. 19 team has shown it has the pace to contend for wins when execution is clean. At 12-1 odds, Briscoe stands out as one of the more intriguing value options on the board.
Long Shot Hopeful: Bubba Wallace (+2000)
Upon setting out to write this NASCAR betting preview, an all-Toyota card was not exactly the plan. Yet, here we are. The manufacturer has simply been too strong relative to the competition through the early portion of the season. At this price, taking a shot on a former Kansas winner is more than justifiable.
One concern for Bubba Wallace is his inconsistency at this track. While he won the fall race here in 2022 and has added a pair of top-five finishes since, there are several less impressive results mixed in as well. That said, he has already shown he is capable of getting it done at Kansas under the right circumstances.
It’s also worth revisiting the first intermediate race of the season at Las Vegas, where Wallace displayed solid pace throughout and finished ninth. With the way 23XI Racing has performed this year, it feels like only a matter of time before Wallace finds victory lane. At this number, he offers legitimate upside as a long-shot option.
