2025 NASCAR Chicago Street Race Odds: Betting lines for the entire field to win Grant Park 165

Originally posted on 5 GOATs | By Steve Samra | Last updated Jul 1, 2025 5:21 PM ET

The NASCAR Cup Series will return to the streets of Chicago for a third time this weekend. Following an exhilarating weekend at EchoPark Speedway — formerly known as Atlanta Motor Speedway — the Windy City will play host to the best drivers in America, with the Grant Park 165 taking center stage.

Who could forget Shane van Gisbergen’s amazing debut victory in the race back in 2023? Alex Bowman was the victor last season, proving it’s anyone’s guess who can get the win when NASCAR takes over Chicago. That’ll be the case once again in 2025.

Whether it’s SVG, Bowman or someone else, FanDuel Sportsbook has us covered with the odds. See if your favorite driver has a shot at the dub in the Grant Park 165.

Shane Van Gisbergen (+210)

Shane van Gisbergen avoided all the wrecks he could in Atlanta, garnering a P24 finish at a track that doesn’t exactly fit his strong suits. He’ll take it, as he looks to continuing growing as a driver.

He couldn’t be happier to return to Chicago this weekend though. After winning his first NASCAR Cup Series race there in 2023 and looking incredibly fast once again in 2024 before the rain and Chase Briscoe conspired to end his day early, he’s easily the favorite in 2025.

Christopher Bell (+750)

Christopher Bell started this past weekend’s race in P28, and it didn’t get much better from there on out for the Joe Gibbs Racing star. He was caught up in a wreck and finished P30 when it was all said and done.

While Bell is solid on each and every track-type, he hasn’t fared well at the Chicago Street Race yet. He’s finished P18 and P37 in the past two seasons, so he’ll be looking to bounce back in a big way in 2025.

Kyle Larson (+900)

Atlanta isn’t always kind to Kyle Larson, and that was the case once again. He finished P17 over the weekend, which, all things considered, wasn’t too bad, when you look at where some of his competitors for the championship ended up.

Moving forward to Chicago, Larson had a great performance at the venue in 2023, notching a top five by finishing fourth. However, last season’s trip didn’t go so well for him, as he finished P39 after starting on the pole.

Ty Gibbs (+1200)

Ty Gibbs notched a solid finish in Atlanta this past weekend. He came home P14, as he searches for ways to turn his season around after a slow start.

Multiple road courses on the docket means he’ll be fast over the next couple of weeks. The young wheelman has been impressive at Chicago over the past two seasons, but can he land his No. 54 in Victory Lane for the first time ever? He’s a fascinating choice to win in the Windy City.

Tyler Reddick (+1200)

It’s been an uneven 2025 for Tyler Reddick. He still doesn’t have a win, but he won a stage in Atlanta, and notched a top five, coming home P4 when the checkered flag waved. Certainly a promising performance.

Reddick almost got the job done in Chicago last season, falling just short behind Alex Bowman. He’s always fast in the street race, so perhaps this is exactly what he needs to get back to Victory Lane, in the city Michael Jordan made his name.

Chase Elliott (+1400)

Chase Elliott won in monumental fashion in Atlanta this past weekend. The sport’s most popular wheelman reminded the world that he’s a past champion in his own right, making an impressive charge to the front in the final laps to lock himself into the playoffs.

Looking ahead, Elliott finished third during NASCAR’s first iteration of the Chicago Street Race, so he was naturally one of the favorites heading into 2024. He finished P21 in that one, so we’ll see which version of Elliott we get in 2025.

William Byron (+1600)

Like many contenders in Atlanta, William Byron was caught up in a wreck early in the race. That meant he wouldn’t be bidding for the win in Georgia, as he finished P37 when the dust settled on the track.

While others have struggled in Chicago, Byron has been solid. He finished P13 in 2023, and P8 in 2024. Those are great results for the Hendrick Motorsports wheelman, but he wants to get back to Victory Lane.

Chris Buescher (+2200)

Chris Buescher had the best looking ride in Atlanta, and it was as fast as he could’ve wanted it. While he didn’t have enough to get to Victory Lane, the RFK Racing wheelman will take a top ten, finishing P9.

He’s still searching for win No. 1 of 2025, and Chicago will provide an interesting opportunity for him. If he gets it done, he’ll lock himself into the playoffs. He has the ability to take the checkered flag, for sure.
