Hamlin and Bell face long odds in NASCAR title fight

Kyle Larson is considered an overwhelming favourite to win the NASCAR Cup Series championship at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday, with a 99.4 percent chance according to the statistics cited. Christopher Bell and Denny Hamlin share the remaining 0.6 percent between them.

Either driver winning the Chase for the Championship would be the most improbable comeback in the history of a stock car season finale, the report suggests. The pair are described as not holding out hope of such a turnaround.
