NASCAR Contender Rankings: Kyle Larson Clear Leader As Competitors Dwindle

Kyle Larson is the clear favorite — two Chase wins, a big points lead and a excellent record at Las Vegas (multiple wins and podiums).
Denny Hamlin is the Vegas dark horse — he’s won the last two races there and will be one to watch next Sunday.
Most other drivers have long odds now — only a few are within a race’s worth of points after Kansas, so there’s drama about who can realistically challenge Larson.
