Top drivers and best bets for the Ally 400

Hendrick Motorsports is well-represented in the favorites, according to BetMGM. Kyle Larson won the inaugural event there and enters the weekend, as he does most weekends, as the prohibitive favorite. William Byron has excelled at intermediate tracks this season, and Chase Elliott won at Nashville last season.

Best odds to win
• Kyle Larson +550
• Martin Truex Jr. +650
• Denny Hamlin +700
• Kyle Busch +800
• William Byron +800
• Chase Elliott +850

Martin Truex Jr. has the second-best moneyline despite posting two 22nd-place finishes at Nashville, and Kyle Busch has failed to crack the top 10 at Nashville but has already won three races this season. Denny Hamlin finished sixth there last year.

Weather forecast for the Ally 400

It is forecast to be warm and overcast all weekend with a 51% chance of rain both Friday and Sunday. With practice already limited in the current NASCAR weekend format, a washed-out session Friday night won’t phase any of the Cup teams. But if it rains Sunday before the race, grip could be at a premium as any rubber laid down by the support series will be washed away.
