2025 NASCAR Season Championship Prop Best Bets

2025 NASCAR Season Championship Prop Best Bets

We’re only two weeks away from the opening race of the season as NASCAR shifts the Clash from the L.A. Coliseum to Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The sportsbooks have blessed us with tons of season-long championship prop bets for the 2025 NASCAR season. Prop bets like top-three finishes in the standings, head-to-head matchups, top manufacturers, group bets, and many other things. Let’s take a look at a few of my favorite 2025 NASCAR season championship prop bets to place.

The plethora of props to bet on for the season is a little overwhelming, but that’s what we love about it. On the NASCAR Gambling Podcast, we’ve spent a good portion of the off-season talking through all of these props. Be sure to check them out for a more in-depth conversation on them! Today, I’ll be breaking it down and touching on a few of my favorite best bets right now.

Each book and state has its own rules so make sure to double-check when you go to place these, but in most cases, unless specified otherwise on the bet, these are paid out upon the completion of the entire NASCAR season, playoffs included. Exhibition races like the Clash, All-Star race, and Duels at Daytona do not count toward season-long goals. One more reminder, all drivers knocked out of the playoffs are still competing for 5th-16th spots, so in the case of a driver being eliminated in the Round of 16, they can still beat a driver eliminated in the Round of 12 or Round of 8 in the final standings.

2025 NASCAR Season Championship Prop Best Bets

Tyler Reddick Over Joey Logano (-115)

This is a simple head-to-head who finishes better in the final season-long point standings. Joey Logano is the defending champion and has won two of the last three titles. So you may be wondering, why take Tyler Reddick over Logano? Here’s why.

Joey’s weird even and odd-year thing makes no sense, but when a trend speaks to you you have to follow it. It’s the reason my Co-host Rod gave out Logano to win the title last year prior to the season. Joey has made the final four in every even year since the format started. However, he’s never made it in an odd year and his points finish in each of the last four odd-numbered years are 12th (23), 8th (21), and 5th (19).

It doesn’t make a ton of sense why, but that’s beside the point. Joey isn’t the strong competitor for wins each and every week guy that Reddick is, and if he manages to get hot and pull it off we’ll take the loss. Reddick is the defending regular-season champion, and a driver that’s still on the rise. I fully expect him to be in the championship four, but if seventh or eighth is the best he can do it should still be better than Logano.

Group F Winner Christoper Bell (+115)

This group over on Caesars Sportsbook pits the four Joe Gibbs Racing drivers up against each other. Bell is the clear-cut favorite in the group and for good reason. When it comes to his teammates, Denny Hamlin didn’t pick up a win after Dover last April, now the aging driver comes into the season with a change, and in my honest opinion a downgrade at crew chief.

Ty Gibbs, I’m high on and I think we will see get to victory lane for the first time in 2025, but I’m not ready to crown him a title contender just yet. Newcomer Chase Briscoe leaves the most unknowns, as we are yet to see what he may be able to do in this top-tier equipment.

Bell has been in the championship four two of the last three seasons and is the Chevy teams creating a blockade at Martinsville (which forced a NASCAR rule change) away from being there three straight years. Bell is going to threaten to make the final four again, and if not be right outside of it. He should carry the torch at Gibbs and it isn’t as close of a battle as some other teams like Hendrick Motorsports.

Both to Finish in the Top 10 – William Byron and Chase Elliott (-105)

This one is pretty simple. Both drivers finish inside of the top 10 at the end of the year and you cash this bet. There are a lot of volatile drivers in the Cup Series whose races and seasons can swing wildly (see Logano comments above). That’s not the case with Byron and Elliott. These two drivers are almost as consistent as can be, and remember they don’t need to make the final four or anything crazy, just be top 10.

Byron has finished inside of the top 10 in four straight seasons, making the final four in the last two years. For Elliott, a 17th place in 2023 was an outlier after breaking his leg snowboarding. Tossing that season out, he’s been in the top 10 in all eight of his full-time seasons including a title win in 2020.

Chase Elliott to Win the Championship (+1200)

This is a bet I love for the number you get it at. Elliott’s teammate Kyle Larson is the favorite at +550, but for double the number, you get Chase Elliott. I just mentioned how consistent he’s been year to year and he’s made the final four three times in the last five years. He’s now going to be two full seasons removed from breaking his leg and should be back at the top of his game.

In 2024 only three times all season long Elliott finished worse than 21st position. It was quiet and under the radar but he has the most consistent season of any driver. Add in his ability to win races, like he did in 2022 when he won five times. And his incredible ability to get hot at the right time like he did in 2020. The books are falling asleep on Elliott in 2025 and I’m going to call my shot on him at this number.
