The NASCAR Cup Series shifts to Texas Motor Speedway this Sunday, May 4, for the 2025 Würth 400. As the season progresses, the competition intensifies, and drivers aim to solidify their standings. Texas’ 1.5-mile quad-oval presents distinct challenges, making this race a critical juncture for teams and one with some major opportunities for bettors.
Wurth 400 Race Preview
Christopher Bell has been a standout this season, securing victories at Atlanta, Circuit of the Americas, and Phoenix. His recent performances position him as a formidable contender. Bell is coming off of his worst performance of the year, finishing 35th at Talladega, but he’s expected to be a significant presence on race day again here.
Chase Elliott is the defending champion at this event, having won it in 2024. But Elliott faces long odds in his bid to repeat as champion this weekend. Elliott has three top-five finishes this year, but has finished no better than fourth place in a race during the 2025 NASCAR Cup Series campaign. He will hope that a return to a track he has had success on previously will help him to get the monkey off his back in 2025.
Betting Insights
Current betting odds from Sportzino reflect the competitive nature of this race. Here is a look at the top-six favorites to claim the checkered flag:
- Kyle Larson: +550
- William Byron: +600
- Tyler Reddick: +750
- Denny Hamlin: +800
- Christopher Bell: +800
- Ryan Blaney: +900
These odds suggest a tight race among top contenders. Larson’s consistency and previous success at Texas Motor Speedway justify his position as a favorite. Bell’s current form and past successes add value to his odds. And William Byron has become a fixture near the top of the leaderboard on this circuit and is always dangerous to walk away with the checkered flag himself.

- Byron has won on this track before, doing so in 2023.
- Byron has a slightly better price than Larson here, so we will take him.
Considering current form, track history, and team performance, William Byron emerges as a compelling pick for the 2025 Würth 400. His previous victories and strong showings on this track indicate a high probability of success.
However, the competition remains fierce. Kyle Larson’s aggressive approach and past success in Texas makes him a formidable opponent. For those seeking value bets, Tyler Reddick and Chase Elliott offer promising prospects based on recent performances and historical data. Our pick for this race is Byron, but this one could go in any number of directions on the track on Sunday.
