Brad Keselowski entered the Goodyear 400 with a 110-race winless drought and in 15th place (-180 points) in the NASCAR Cup Series standings. It made sense the 2012 champion was buried in BetMGM’s championship odds at +3000 (11th shortest) and had only 1.7% of the handle (15th) on 2.7% of the tickets (14th).
Four weeks later, the drought is over — snapped at the Goodyear 400 — and Keselowski is ninth in the standings. Now facing a deficit of 97 points thanks to three straight top-three finishes for the first since 2018, he has the sixth-shortest odds at +1200 as of Tuesday.
- Denny Hamlin: +375
- Kyle Larson: +450
- William Byron: +525
- Christopher Bell: +800
- Chase Elliott: +900
- Brad Keselowski: +1200
- Ryan Blaney: +1200
- Martin Truex Jr.: +1200
Keselowski’s surge hasn’t convinced bettors. He has only 1.9% of the handle (16th) on 2.9% of the tickets (12th), while the drivers with shorter odds remain more popular.
