Denny Hamlin is off to a solid start to his 2025 season and will be eyeing back-to-back wins and his fifth top-10 finish of the year on Sunday at the 2025 NASCAR Cup Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway in Darlington, S.C. Hamlin grabbed the lead on lap 126 last week and never looked back as he earned his first win of the season at the Cook Out 400 at Martinsville Speedway. It was Hamlin's sixth win at the track, most among full-time active drivers, but first at Martinsville since 2015. It was also his 55th win of his 20-year career.

Kyle Larson is the favorite at +450, with Tyler Reddick at +650, Ryan Blaney and Hamlin at 700, William Byron at +800 and Christopher Bell at +1000 in the latest 2025 Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway odds. Sunday's race is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. 

Before making any NASCAR at Darlington Raceway picks, you NEED to see what CBS Sports NASCAR writer Steven Taranto has to say.

Taranto, who moonlights as a sim racer and has 20 career wins in iRacing, is the lead NASCAR writer for CBSSports.com, and he chronicles stock car racing with the same thoroughness and passion that he's had since becoming a full-time race fan in 2001. He has an annual NASCAR media credential and also publishes a popular weekly NASCAR predictions column, famously calling Ross Chastain and Daniel Suarez's breakthrough wins in 2022. Taranto was red-hot for SportsLine in 2024 as he nailed 17 winners, including 16-1 longshot William Byron at the Daytona 500 and 14-1 longshot Chase Elliott at Texas. Anybody following his NASCAR picks has seen HUGE returns!

For the 2025 Goodyear 400, Taranto is high on Kyle Larson. He also has a head-to-head prop bet, with Bubba Wallace (-125) finishing ahead of Chase Elliott (-110). "Bubba Wallace is coming off back-to-back third place finishes, and seems to be hitting his stride working with new crew chief Charles Denike as he returns to Darlington, where he's traditionally run well and won the pole for the Southern 500 last September," Taranto said. "By comparison, Chase Elliott feels like he's a step behind in terms of raw pace to start the year despite a fourth place finish at Martinsville a week ago."

Taranto also locked in three more 2025 NASCAR at Las Vegas best bets, another prop bet and is high on a MAJOR dark horse who is going off at 55-1! You ABSOLUTELY NEED to see his picks before locking in any NASCAR picks of your own.
