2026 Freeway Insurance 500 Betting Race Picks

For the first time since 2019, NASCAR’s Cup Series season finale and championship will not be settled at Phoenix Raceway. Along with this season’s points changes, the schedule was also shifted around and Homestead-Miami Speedway will have the luxury of hosting the series finale in just a few short weeks. However, Sunday’s return to Phoenix Raceway for the running of the Free Insurance 500 will certainly have big championship implications. As things currently stand, Kyle Larson holds a 49 point lead over Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell in the championship race. While the championship hopefuls battle for every point on Sunday, we turn our focus towards identifying the best betting opportunities for NASCAR’s return to Phoenix!
