2026 NASCAR Odds: Denny Hamlin Favored For All-Star Race At Dover

2026 NASCAR Odds: Denny Hamlin Favored For All-Star Race At Dover

The 2026 NASCAR All-Star Race will look a little different this year.

Instead of running at North Wilkesboro, the exhibition race will take place at Dover Motor Speedway.

And the format is also getting a makeover.

While drivers aren't competing for points in this weekend's race that gets the green flag on Sunday, May 17 (1 p.m. ET FS1), winning at Dover is still a big deal. 

In addition to bragging rights, the winner stakes their claim on the $1 million prize.

So which driver will get into Victory Lane at Dover during All-Star?

Here are the latest odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of May 15.

Here's what to know about the oddsboard:

The Favorite

It's always hard to count out veteran driver Denny Hamlin — especially when he's at the top of the oddsboard. In this race last year at North Wilkesboro, the driver of the No. 11 finished 12th. Hamlin's only All-Star victory came back in 2015, which he won in part by holding off a competitive Kevin Harvick.

Ones to Watch

Christopher Bell was the most recent driver to get into Victory Lane at NASCAR's All-Star Race. In 2025, he led 28 laps after starting second with a best lap of 18.59.

Joey Logano won the 2024 All-Star Race after leading 199 laps. His other All-Star win came in 2016.
