Reasons Why Illinois 300 Odds Favor Ryan Blaney and Christopher Bell

Neither of these guys has ever won the Enjoy Illinois 300 race, which has been on the NASCAR roster since 2022. So far, only Joey Logano, Kyle Busch, and Austin Cindric have won this race.

Both Ryan Blaney and Christopher Bell have done okay on this track. Last year, for example, Christopher Bell finished in 7^thplace. In 2023, he finished in 11^thplace, and in 2022, he finished in 9^th.

Ryan Blaney, on the other hand, finished 4^thin the first Enjoy Illinois 300 race ever. Then in 2023, he finished 6^th, but in 2024, he didn’t do that well. He finished in 24^thplace. Both of these guys have done well on tracks similar to the World Wide Technology Raceway.

The one that’s most similar to the 1.25-mile oval in Madison is Darlington Raceway, which held the most recent NASCAR race. That race, however, was won by Chase Briscoe, who’s priced at +900.

Can Chase Briscoe Win Again?

Chase Briscoe has been in phenomenal form lately, which he crowned with a win at Darlington Raceway last weekend. Before that, we saw him finish in second spot three times from July to August. Before that, he won the Pocono Race in June.

Thanks to his brilliant form in the summer months, he’s managed to get all the way to the top of the Drivers’ Championship standings. But if he wants to win the NASCAR Cup Series of 2025, he needs to keep on doing basically the same.

The good news for this guy is that he does well on egg-shaped tracks like the one in Madison, Illinois. Not only did he win at Darlington last weekend, but he’s done alright in New Hampshire, Phoenix, and Richmond over the years.

The bad news, however, is that he doesn’t have any great memories from Illinois, with his best finish being the No. 17 place last year. Will this change on September 7?

2025 Enjoy Illinois 300 Prediction

We’re backing Chase Briscoe to do it again, for the second time in a row. It won’t be easy, though, because everyone wants to win this race. All the most talented drivers will do their utmost on September 7. That said, if we want to play it safe, probably the better option is to back Briscoe to finish in the top three, for which the odds are +275.
