O’Reilly Auto Parts 500: Early Odds, Trends for Sunday’s Race

After competing in the 2020 NASCAR All-Star Race earlier in the week, the best drivers in the world head to Texas Motor Speedway for Sunday’s O’Reilly Auto Parts 500. William Hill has futures odds up for 38 competitors for this upcoming Cup Series race. 

Cup Series points leader Kevin Harvick is the +260 (13/5) favorite to secure his fifth checkered flag this season, followed by last year’s O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 winner Denny Hamlin at 11/2 and 2018 first-place finisher Kyle Busch at 6/1. In fact, Busch holds the record for most O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 victories with three. 

Ryan Blaney currently has the fourth-lowest odds at 15/2, but he leads the way in total dollars wagered for this weekend’s race. Blaney has brought in 22% of the total dollars wagered as well as 4% of the total number of tickets. 

That includes one Nevada bettor placing $1,500 on Blaney at 11/1 for a total potential payout of $18,000, which is the biggest wager taken as of now at William Hill for the O’Reilly Auto Parts 500.

Yet, a driver with sizable odds has been generating significant action as well.

After opening at 25/1, Aric Almirola is now down to 20/1 odds, which are the ninth-lowest on the board. Almirola ranks second with 14% of the total dollars wagered, including an $800 bet on him at 25/1 for a total potential payout of $20,800.

Almirola has also received 6% of the total number of tickets along with Hamlin and 2020 NASCAR All-Star Race winner Chase Elliott (10/1). Six other drivers have drawn 5% of the total number of tickets: Martin Truex Jr. (8/1), Brad Keselowski (11/1), Joey Logano (11/1), Erik Jones (25/1), Jimmie Johnson (25/1) and Matt DiBenedetto (30/1). 

William Hill also had 10 head-to-head matchups for the race, including Harvick (-175) vs. Hamlin (+155) and Elliott (-120) vs. Blaney (EVEN).
