With having two straight weeks of first time winners, Greg, CJ and Eric decided to keep it status quo in terms their NASCAR Cup Series championship futures.
Denny Hamlin looks to be a championship favorite on the heels of two top five finishes to start the 2021 campaign, but both were at Daytona and he really hasn’t separated himself much from the other usual suspects. The true test will be over the next few weeks with two 1.5 mile tracks and Phoenix on the horizon.
By virtue of no clear cut favorable championship contender yet, the odds haven’t changed much which is why our trip of experts are throwing money on an array of drivers still.
