NASCAR Betting Rules: What Happens if the Winner Is DQ’d After Inspection?
In the 2022 NASCAR M&M’s Fan Appreciation 400 at Pocono Raceway, Denny Hamlin took the checkered flag, followed by Kyle Busch with Chase Elliott rounding out the top-three finishers … or so we thought. Both Joe Gibbs Racing Toyotas of Hamlin and Busch were disqualified following post-race inspection, relegating each driver to 35th- and 36th-place…

Two articles from me this weekend? What did we do to deserve this? Well, if it’s anything like yesterday, you should stop reading right now. After betting on and writing a quick piece on why I liked Erik Jones at 60-1 odds to win today’s NASCAR race at Pocono, both Petty GMS cars were hit…

NASCAR Odds, Picks & Predictions for Pocono: 2 Best Bets for Sunday’s M&M’s Fan Appreciation 400
I usually write up outright, manufacturer or top positional bets for these race-day articles because they tend to offer slightly better expected value than matchup bets. However, the best value bets I see for Sunday’s M&M’s Fan Appreciation 400 at Pocono Raceway (3 p.m. ET, USA) both lie in the head-to-head matchup department. Both bets…

NASCAR Odds, Picks & Predictions for New Hampshire: 2 Best Bets for Sunday’s Ambetter 301
I really like NASCAR racing at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. This isn’t because of a big betting win or memorable on-track racing, but because after growing up in North Carolina, I moved to the Boston North Shore in 2011. North Carolina offers plenty of options for NASCAR fans to attend races in-person, while the greater…

The NASCAR Cup Series is back at a short, flat track for Sunday’s Ambetter 301 (3 p.m. ET, USA) at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

NASCAR at Atlanta Odds & Picks: Quaker State 400 Betting Predictions (Sunday, July 10)
With one race already under its belt at this circuit, the NASCAR Cup Series returns to the “new” Atlanta Motor Speedway for Sunday’s Quaker State 400 (3 p.m. ET, USA).

The NASCAR Cup Series returns to Atlanta Motor Speedway for Sunday’s Quaker State 400 (3 p.m. ET, USA), the second event of the season at the newly-configured race track. However, while the race back in March was not impacted by rain, Sunday’s NASCAR at Atlanta weather forecast is not all that promising. In fact, Saturday’s…

For the second time this season, the NASCAR Cup Series visits the newly-reconfigured Atlanta Motor Speedway, which now races similarly to Daytona and Talladega, for Sunday’s Quaker State 400 (3 p.m. ET, USA). Because drivers will now race in packs and rely heavily on the draft, the playing field is leveled for cars that might…

NASCAR Odds, Picks & Predictions for Atlanta: Why to Bet Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in Sunday’s Quaker State 400
NASCAR makes its return to the newly configured Atlanta Motor Speedway for the Quaker State 400 on Sunday (3 p.m. ET, USA). Drafting was the name of the game at the first Atlanta race, but it did have an element of 1.5-mile, intermediate track racing, according to the drivers. The winner back in March, William…

Sunday’s Kwik Trip 250 at Road America (3 p.m. ET, USA) will be the third road course race of the 2022 season for the NASCAR Cup Series. That means we have two previous races of road course data to look at with the Next Gen car. When doing so, there has been one major consistency…

The NASCAR featured matchups for Sunday’s Kwik Trip 250 (3 p.m. ET, USA) at Road America are quite interesting compared to what we typically see.

NASCAR at Nashville Lightning Delay: Updated Weather Forecast for Sunday’s Ally 400
Following a week off, the NASCAR Cup Series is back in action for Sunday’s Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway. Well, weather permitting that is.

NASCAR at Nashville Odds & Picks: Ally 400 Best Bet Predictions for Sunday (June 26)
I’ve taken a very conservative approach to betting on Sunday’s NASCAR Ally 400 (5 p.m. ET, NBC) at Nashville Superspeedway. In my mind, there are simply too many unknowns heading into today’s race to get overly heavy, from a bettor’s perspective, on the Ally 400. However, 50 minutes of practice on Saturday helped clear up…
-
NASCAR Odds, Pick & Prediction: Best Featured Matchup Bet for Sunday’s Ally 400
There are a lot of unknowns heading into Sunday’s Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway. For example, how will the Next Gen car perform on a 1.333-mile concrete racetrack? In addition, how will the new underbody scanner affect how teams are setting up their cars and finding speed? On the flip-side, there is a 50-minute practice…
-
NASCAR Odds, Picks & Predictions for Nashville: Bet This Underdog With Upside for Sunday’s Ally 400
Handicapping this Sunday’s Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway (5:00 p.m. ET, NBC) will be a difficult task for bettors. Nashville is a 1.33-mile, concrete oval, with somewhat flatter 14-degree banking in its turns that was built in 2001, giving it medium tire wear. That makes it a very unique track. To make matters worse, the…

NASCAR Odds, Picks & Predictions for Sonoma: Best Bets for Sunday’s Toyota/Save Mart 350
For the second year in a row, the Hendrick Motorsports teammates of Kyle Larson and Chase Elliott will lead the field to green at Sonoma (4 p.m. ET, FS1).

For the first time ever, the NASCAR Cup Series will race at World Wide Technology Race (WWTR) for Sunday’s Enjoy Illinois 300 (3:30 p.m. ET, FS1). WWTR is a flat, 1.25-mile track, and while there’s no perfect comparison on the Cup Series schedule, we can lean on other flat tracks like Phoenix and Richmond to…

NASCAR Odds, Picks & Predictions for Gateway: 2 Early Bets to Win Sunday’s Enjoy Illinois 300
After an incredible Coca-Cola 600 full of action, passing and attrition, the NASCAR Cup Series heads to World Wide Technology Raceway (3:30 p.m. ET, FS1). The 1.25-mile, egg-shaped track is certainly unique, but probably best put in the short-flat category with banking of only 11 and nine degrees in its corners. That gives us three…

NASCAR Odds, Picks & Predictions: Bets Futures, Props & Matchup Bets for Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte
The biggest day of the year in motorsports deserves a big piece of betting content as well. Sunday’s auto racing goodness gets underway with Formula 1’s Monaco Grand Prix at 9 a.m. ET, followed by the 106th running of the Indy 500 at 12:45 p.m. ET, and concludes with NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600, the longest race…

The longest race of the NASCAR season takes place this Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway for the Coca-Cola 600 (6 p.m. ET, FOX).

NASCAR Odds & Picks for Sunday’s All-Star Race: 2 Betting Predictions for Texas Motor Speedway
NASCAR’s All-Star Race (8 p.m. ET, FS1) has a very unique format, which includes four stages and a mandatory pit stop, with $1 million on the line for the winner. The race is much shorter than typical NASCAR Cup Series events, meaning track position will be even more important than it already is for Sunday…

NASCAR Odds, Picks & Predictions: The All-Star Race Prop to Bet Early for Sunday Night’s Race at Texas
The NASCAR All-Star Race (8 p.m. ET, FS1) format is very unique and changes every year, but I’m eyeing qualifying props for two reasons.

NASCAR at Kansas Odds & Picks: 2 Outright Bets for the AdventHealth 400 on Sunday Afternoon (May 15)
On Sunday afternoon, the NASCAR Cup Series will race at Kansas Speedway for the 2022 AdventHealth 400 (3 p.m. ET, FS1). Kansas is a 1.5-mile circuit that is quite similar to Las Vegas Motor Speedway, so the combination of performance from the race earlier this year in Sin City, plus Saturday’s practice and qualifying results…

Updated NASCAR Weather Forecast for Kansas: Sunday’s AdventHealth 400 Could Be Impacted By Rain
NASCAR has been very lucky when it comes to wet weather on raceday so far this season, though that lucky streak could end according to the latest weather forecast for Sunday’s race at Kansas Speedway. Rain and thunderstorms are in the updated NASCAR at Kansas weather forecast, and, at this point, it looks more like…

NASCAR Truck Series Odds, Picks & Predictions for Kansas: Best Bet for Saturday Night’s Heart of America 200
I don’t typically write raceday NASCAR Truck Series betting articles, but based on Saturday night’s sports calendar it seemed like a good time to crank one out. The NBA playoffs, which have been electric thus far, are off on Saturday, and while there are some huge NHL playoff Game 7s tonight, an 8 p.m. ET…

NASCAR Odds, Picks, Predictions for Kansas: 3 Early Bets for Sunday’s AdventHealth 400
The middle-third of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season kicks off this Sunday at Kansas Speedway for the AdventHealth 400 (3 p.m. ET, FS1).

NASCAR Odds, Picks & Predictions for Kansas: How to Bet Erik Jones vs. Aric Almirola Featured Matchup
We’ve finally reached the point of the 2022 NASCAR season where the series is visiting similar tracks multiple times, allowing us to lean on much more recent data with the Next Gen car.

NASCAR Odds, Pick & Preview for Darlington: 2 Prop Bets for Sunday’s Goodyear 400
For the second race in a row, the NASCAR Cup Series heads to a highly banked oval for 400 miles of racing. Today’s Goodyear 400 (3:30 p.m. ET, FS1) at Darlington Raceway should feature some similarities to the racing at Dover, including tire management. In addition to Dover, the Cup Series also ran at Auto…
-
NASCAR Odds, Picks, Predictions for Darlington: The Driver to Bet as Top Toyota for Sunday’s Goodyear 400
The NASCAR Cup Series has visited almost every possible track type so far in 2022. One theme that has remained consistent throughout the year is longshot drivers coming home with top finishes. That can be applied to each manufacturer as well. At the Daytona 500, Ty Dillon was one foot away from finishing as the…

NASCAR Odds, Picks, Predictions for Darlington: The Featured Matchup to Bet for Sunday’s Goodyear 400
After a rain delayed finish at Dover, the NASCAR Cup Series heads to its second consecutive race at a steeply-banked track. Drivers and teams head to Darlington Raceway for the Goodyear 400 on Sunday (3:30 p.m. ET, FS1). Like Dover, Darlington features high banks and plenty of tire wear. Along with Homestead-Miami Speedway, this trio…

NASCAR at Dover Odds, Picks & Predictions: 4 Bets for Sunday’s DuraMAX Drydene 400
We are in the Caribbean this weekend for a much needed vacation and I’m planning on making all the bets. All. The. Bets. Because when I say “we,” I mean just my husband and myself. No kids. No whining and complaining (mostly). No waking up at 5:45am to a crying two-year-old who lost one sock…

NASCAR at Dover Odds, Picks, Predictions: Bet This Ford Driver in Sunday’s DuraMAX Drydene 400
The starting lineup is set for today’s DuraMAX Drydene 400 at Dover Motor Speedway (3:00 p.m. ET, FS1). If the race is anything like the practice session just prior to qualifying, we’re in for a wild affair. Five cars suffered incidents in practice. Some, like Tyler Reddick, simply spun and moved on. Four other drivers…

NASCAR Odds, Picks & Predictions for Dover: How to Bet William Byron vs. Alex Bowman on Sunday
The NASCAR Cup Series enters a new phase of the 2022 season, beginning with this Sunday’s DuraMAX Drydene 400 at Dover (3 p.m. ET, FS1). Dover, Darlington and Kansas make up the next three races.

NASCAR Odds, Picks, Predictions for Dover: The 40-1 Sleeper to Bet Early for Sunday’s DuraMAX Drydene 400
Following a short track race at Martinsville, a dirt race at Bristol and a superspeedway race at Talladega, the NASCAR Cup Series heads to the 1-mile, highly-banked concrete oval of Dover Motor Speedway this Sunday. Dover is a very unique track in its own right, which is compounded even further considering NASCAR’s Next Gen car…

NASCAR at Talladega Odds & Picks: Favorites & Longshots to Bet for Sunday’s GEICO 500
Pack racing at NASCAR superspeedways like Talladega is unpredictable. I know. Thanks for the news flash, right? However, due to this unpredictability there are often opportunities to get favorites at better prices than normal because, just like us, oddsmakers have a difficult time predicting who will win these races as well. And with pack racing…

NASCAR Odds, Picks & Predictions for Talladega: 2 Props to Bet Now for Sunday’s GEICO 500
The NASCAR Cup Series heads from back-to-back races at its two shortest tracks to the longest oval track on the circuit, Talladega Superspeedway, for Sunday’s GEICO 500 (3 p.m. ET, FOX). The pack racing that we are accustomed to at superspeedways was definitely present with the Next Gen car at Daytona. That means we can…
-
NASCAR Odds, Picks & Predictions for Talladega: Best Featured Matchup Bet for Sunday’s GEICO 500
Following a night race on dirt at one of the NASCAR circuit’s smallest tracks, the Cup Series will race on pavement during the day at Talladega Superspeedway, which is the circuit’s largest track. Talladega is synonymous with pack racing, meaning Sunday’s GEICO 500 (3 p.m. ET, FOX) should be very exciting, but also quite unpredictable.…

NASCAR at Bristol Weather Forecast: Will Rain Delay Sunday Night’s Food City Dirt Race?
For the first time ever, the NASCAR Cup Series will race on dirt under the lights at Bristol Motor Speedway on Easter Sunday. Well, that’s if Mother Nature cooperates. Tonight’s Food City Dirt Race is scheduled to go green at 7:14 p.m. ET (FOX), but rain is expected to be in the area on Sunday…

NASCAR Odds, Picks & Predictions for Bristol: The Top-10 Bet to Make for Sunday’s Food City Dirt Race
Drivers are set to get down and dirty for 250 laps on Sunday night for the 2022 Food City Dirt Race (7 p.m. ET, FOX). With only one Cup race on dirt since 1970, we don’t have a lot of data to use. However, the Truck Series has raced on dirt nine times since 2013.…

NASCAR Odds, Picks & Predictions for Bristol Dirt: How to Bet Joey Logano vs. Martin Truex Jr.
For the second straight season the NASCAR Cup Series will race on dirt at Bristol Motor Speedway, however, there will be a couple of key differences this year compared to last. First, this will be the debut of the Next Gen car on dirt. Second, the Food City Dirt Race will take place at night…

NASCAR Odds, Picks & Predictions for Martinsville: 3 Best Bets for Saturday’s Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400
Friday’s NASCAR Cup Series practice session gave bettors plenty of information to work with in trying to handicap tonight’s Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400 (7:30 p.m. ET, FS1). Drivers were, in some cases, able to make practice runs north of 50 laps. This abundance of data allows us to find places where books did not…

NASCAR Odds, Picks, Predictions for Martinsville: How to Bet Martin Truex Jr. vs. William Byron
Oddsmakers did a really good job setting lines for the NASCAR at Martinsville featured matchups. So much so that I’m personally not betting a featured matchup early this week — I’ve opted for two outrights instead, including this 30-1 longshot — but if you’re looking for a little head-to-head action, there is one showing value…

NASCAR Odds & Picks for Martinsville: The Mispriced 30-1 Driver to Bet Now for Saturday Night’s Race
Hello friends, and welcome to Martinsville week. As many of you know, Martinsville Speedway is my favorite track in all of motorsports, so I’m giddy that the NASCAR Cup Series returns for some Saturday night short-track action. Because Martinsville is a short, flat track with very tight corners, the racing here can be random and…

2022 NASCAR Cup Series Championship Pick: Bet This Undervalued Contender Before it’s Too Late
The NASCAR Cup Series season is seven races old. That means we have enough data to assess driver performance in 2022.

NASCAR at Richmond Odds & Betting Picks: Sunday’s Toyota Owners 400 Driver Matchup Prediction
Practice and qualifying for Sunday’s NASCAR Toyota Owners 400 (3:30 p.m. ET, FOX) at Richmond was incredibly helpful for bettors. Richmond Raceway, a 0.75-mile short, flat track, is one of the most predictable venues on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule. Even with the Next Gen car providing a degree of uncertainty, bettors should feel relatively…

NASCAR Odds, Picks & Predictions for Richmond: A Plus-Money Prop With Value for Sunday’s Toyota Owners 400
I’m not sure what to think about Sunday’s Toyota Owners 400 (3:30 p.m. ET, FOX) at Richmond Raceway for a NASCAR betting perspective. The Cup Series has competed at one flat track (Phoenix) already this season, so there is some data to lean on considering that Richmond is also in the flat-track category. However, while…

NASCAR Odds, Picks & Predictions for Richmond: An Early Driver Matchup Bet for Sunday’s Toyota Owners 400
There are times to bet aggressively early in the week and other times to be much more conservative, and for me, I’m going the conservative route ahead of Sunday’s NASCAR Toyota Owners 400 (3:30 p.m. ET, FOX) at Richmond Raceway. Remember, just because odds are available doesn’t mean we have to bet them right away,…

Legalized sports betting is sweeping the country with more and more states offering online betting that’s available anywhere, including live sporting events.

NASCAR at COTA Odds & Betting Picks: 2 Props for the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix on Sunday (March 27)
Practice and qualifying for today’s NASCAR Cup Series EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix (3:30 p.m. ET, FOX) produced some surprising results. Heavy favorites Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson both failed to make the final round of qualifying. Additionally, neither driver posted a practice time inside the top 15.

The variety on NASCAR’s 2022 Cup Series schedule continues this weekend as the series visits its first road course of the season for Sunday’s EchoPark Texas Grand Prix (3:30 p.m. ET, FOX) at Circuit of the Americans (COTA).

The sixth race of the NASCAR Cup Series season takes us to Circuit of the Americas (COTA) for the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix (3:30 p.m. ET, FOX). This will be the sixth different style of racing we’ve seen over the first six races, but five races is still plenty to help us start to evaluate…

NASCAR at Atlanta Odds & Betting Picks: Sunday’s Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 Prop Predictions
Practice for the NASCAR Cup Series brought about a sequence of comments from drivers regarding what kind of racing we can expect at the newly configured Atlanta Motor Speedway.

From a high level, I have zero interest in getting too heavy on Sunday’s Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 (3 p.m. ET, FOX) at Atlanta Motor Speedway. I know, what a way to start a betting article, right? But there’s no denying that there’s a lot of uncertainty heading into Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race…

NASCAR Odds, Picks, Predictions for Atlanta: How to Bet Chase Briscoe vs. Tyler Reddick
The NASCAR Cup Series has already been a bit difficult to handicap this season with the introduction of the Next Gen car.

NASCAR at Phoenix Odds, Picks, Predictions: The Matchup to Bet for Sunday’s Ruoff Mortgage 500
Phoenix is one of the more predictable tracks on the NASCAR circuit, so while the Next Gen car has thrown us for some loops early in the season, we can feel fairly confident about handicapping Phoenix. One of the easiest ways to do that isn’t by handicapping the whole field, but by just finding matchups…

NASCAR at Phoenix Odds & Picks: A 3-1 Ruoff Mortgage 500 Prop to Bet on Sunday
The NASCAR Cup Series season rolls on with Sunday’s Ruoff Mortgage 500 at Phoenix Raceway (3:30 p.m. ET, FOX).

NASCAR at Phoenix Odds, Picks, Predictions: The Best Early Bets for Sunday’s Ruoff Mortgage 500
The NASCAR Cup Series visits its fourth different track in four races as the West Coast Swing concludes with 312 laps at Phoenix Raceway. The 1-mile flat track presents another different challenge for drivers. Racing on shorter tracks, especially with less banking requires more braking. That certainly is different from holding it flat-out through the…

NASCAR Odds & Picks for Phoenix: How to Bet Christopher Bell vs. Alex Bowman for Sunday’s Ruoff Mortgage 500
For the first time this season, the NASCAR Cup Series’ Next Gen car will take on a short, flat track in a points-paying race. The Next Gen car did race on a quarter-mile circuit at the L.A.

NASCAR at Las Vegas Odds, Picks, Predictions: 3 Best Bets for Sunday’s Pennzoil 400 (March 6)
Las Vegas plays host to the third race of the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series season on Sunday. The 1.5-mile track should be a little less crazy than last weekend’s race at Auto Club Speedway, simply judging by the vast reduction in incident in practice and qualifying. However, one thing that should remain constant is the…

NASCAR at Las Vegas Odds, Picks, Predictions: The Outright to Bet Early for Sunday’s Pennzoil 400
The NASCAR Cup Series had a highly successful race in the 2-mile Auto Club Speedway this past weekend, drawing rave reviews for the Next Gen car.

NASCAR Odds, Picks, Predictions for Las Vegas: How To Bet Austin Dillon vs. Kurt Busch for Sunday’s Pennzoil 400
So far we’ve seen NASCAR’s Next Gen car on a short track, a superspeedway and a 2-mile oval, and this weekend it’ll get its first taste of a 1.5-mile track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. There’s still plenty of uncertainty regarding which drivers will be fast in Sunday’s Pennzoil 400 (3:30 p.m. ET, FOX), but…
