The NASCAR Cup Series gets back on track at Bristol on Sunday, April 12 for the Food City 500 (3 p.m. ET, FS1).
Kyle Larson got into Victory Lane at this race in 2025, with a winning margin of 2.250 seconds.
However, with no wins so far in 2026, the Hendrick Motorsports driver could use a little of last year’s luck when the Cup gets the green flag in Bristol this weekend.
Here are the early odds for the Food City 500 at DraftKings Sportsbook as of April 12.

Here’s what to know about this oddsboard:
Defending Champ: Reigning Cup champion Kyle Larson hasn’t won a race this season, but sitting ninth in the standings means that he’s had solid performances. In fact, he’s got four top-10 finishes and a podium in Phoenix, finishing third in the desert behind Ryan Blaney and Christopher Bell. In the Bristol spring race in 2025, he started third but won the race, edging out Denny Hamlin and Ty Gibbs. And speaking of Hamlin, he opened at third on this board, but is now fifth. The driver of the No. 11 car sits third in the current standings, with four top-10s, three top-fives, a pole and a win.
Ones to Watch: Christopher Bell and Ty Gibbs — two JGR drivers — are ones to watch this weekend at Bristol. In the standings, Gibbs sits sixth while Bell is seventh. Gibbs has gotten off to a respectable start this year, with 18 laps led and four top-fives. But Bell has also run relatively well, leading 225 laps with one pole and three top-five finishes.
