Below are the latest odds to win the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series championship from BetMGM ahead of Sunday's playoff opener at Darlington.

Three drivers check in with +1200 odds to win the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series championship, including Joey Logano, William Byron and red-hot Ryan Blaney, who has won the past two races.

Looking for a couple of championship longshots? That title belongs to Tyler Reddick at +8000 and Daytona 500 winner Michael McDowell, who is way down the odds board at +20000.
