Top Pick to Win the 2024 NASCAR Season

Last year, Christopher Bell was the only Joe Gibbs driver that made it to the final race. A NASCAR Playoff regular, Bell fumbled big time in Phoenix, finishing thirty-sixth after starting seventh.

But that’s the past. Heading into 2024, Bell is the unquestioned top driver at Joe Gibbs. For sure, Denny Hamlin and Martin Truex Jr. will have a say, but it’s Bell who could have taken the title in 2023. We should expect Bell to pick it up in 2024. Also, the odds on Bell make him more than playable.

Second Pick to Win the 2024 NASCAR Season

Of the two Hendrick favorites, William Byron has the most momentum heading into 2024. Byron finished third behind Larson on the final NASCAR Cup Standings, but during the regular season, Byron was one of the top drivers on the circuit.

Byron, driving Jeff Gordon’s 24 car, won 6 races, won 4 poles, scored a total of 15 top 5 finishes and finished in the top 10 a total of 21 times. If Byron carries over his regular season form, which no doubt will be great again, into the NASCAR Playoffs, for sure he can lift the trophy.

Third Pick to Win the 2024 NASCAR Season

Chase Elliott suffered an injury and then when he came back he had served out a suspension, which is one of the reasons Chase failed to qualify for the playoffs. The third choice on this list should be ready to go come February 4.

Elliott is one of the most talented drivers on the NASCAR circuit. His crew is also exceptional. Don’t be surprised if Elliott returns to the top of Hendrick’s drivers lineup.

Top Underdog Pick to Win the 2024 NASCAR Season

Bubba Wallace scored a NASCAR Playoff berth, which was a massive step forward. Not only did Wallace make it to the playoffs, but he also finished tenth.

If Bubba builds off the excellent finish in 2023, he could make it into the top 8, and then the final four. Anything can happen at Phoenix Raceway in the final event. At 30-to-1 odds, Wallace is a great pick to breakout with a monster season.
