Race: The Auto Club 500
Date: Sunday, February 22, 2009
Time: 6:15 PM EST (scheduled Green Flag)
TV: 5:00 PM EST on FOX
Preview: The Daytona 500 gets all the hype, but this week’s race in Fontana, California, will be a better prognosticator of how the teams look on the type of downforce track that comprises the majority of the 36-race NASCAR Cup schedule.
Matt Kenseth is the top dog in NASCAR right now after winning at Daytona. NASCAR’s first race of the season was real letdown after rains came down on the racetrack.
Some the major players didn’t fair to well in the BetUS Sportsbook either namely Kyle Busch who finished outside of the top thirty at Daytona.
Unfortunately for NASCAR bettors, the Daytona 500 didn’t tell you much! Mother nature showed her ugly head, and shortened the ‘500’ to roughly to ‘380,’ and handed Matt Kenseth his first victory at the Great American Race.
Kyle Busch enters the Daytona 500 as the clear favorite following his victory in the second Gatorade Duel 150 on Thursday.
Busch, who opened as a 5:1 favorite to win his first Daytona 500 actually moved to a 9:2 favorite once it was confirmed that he’d be starting The Great American Race from the fourth spot.
Race: Daytona 500
Date: Sunday, February 15, 2009
Time: 3:30 PM EST
TV: 2:00 PM EST on FOX
Preview: Call it the Great American Race, NASCAR’s Super Bowl, or simply its iconic name: The Daytona 500.
It’s not the official slogan for the 2009 Sprint Cup season, but there’s no doubt that the sport of stock car racing is living in interesting times. And it’s exactly in these times of transition that sharp bettors can swoop in and make a dollar – starting with Sunday’s 51st annual running of the Daytona 500.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., the winner last year, follows at +600 odds while his teammates Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon are +700.
For the online betting community with the need for speed, February means two things—Online NASCAR betting & Daytona 500! Unlike most sports, NASCAR’s Sprint Cup series opens its season with the biggest event of the year. The Daytona 500 is NASCAR’s ”Super Bowl” and marks race 1-of-36 on the season’s schedule. The Great American Race not only starts the 2009 campaign, its the most prestigious and famed race in all of motorsports.
NASCAR begins its season February 7th with the Budweiser Shoot-out. Then, after the Gatorade Duel 1 and Gatorade Duel 2, NASCAR really heats up on February 15th with the Daytona 500.
As always, BetUS Sportsbook will be there offering some of the best online wagering possible for NASCAR betting fans.

Below is the weekly list of Races on the Nascar & Nationwide schedule.
The NASCAR sports betting community anxiously awaits Sunday’s Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway, which concludes the Chase for the Sprint Cup and the 2008 online NASCAR wagering campaign, as Jimmie Johnson and Hendrick Motorsports looks to become a dynasty with a back-to-back-to-back championship runs. NASCAR betting nation is well aware Johnson’s one race from possibly joining Cale Yarborough as the sports only other three-peat champion.
It’s the final race of the NASCAR season and Jimmie Johnson has pretty much secured his third straight NASCAR Cup. It’s an amazing feat. I’m not sure anybody else has ever done that.
Of course, the rules changed recently which allowed Johnson to coast through the regular season, just enough to get into the Chase, where he knew that his crew and his cars would outrun everybody. Still, from a sports betting point-of-view, Johnson is an absolute stand-out.
There are only two races left for Carl Edwards to catch Jimmie Johnson. I don’t see it happening, but sometimes craziness reigns in NASCAR. Sports betting fans have to consider Jimmie a prime candidate for online bet of the year.
It’s do or die for Carl Edwards this weekend, as he must finish ahead of Jimmie Johnson in the Checker O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Phoenix International Raceway to keep his rival from all but locking up his third straight NASCAR championship. That leaves NASCAR betting fans with two options this weekend, and the same two on the Cup futures odds.
While the NASCAR betting championship might be a foregone conclusion—yes, Jimmie Johnson will win again—that doesn’t mean there’s not plenty of NASCAR betting value on the board at BetUS.com this weekend. The good ol’ boys will travel to the hotbed of Texas for this week’s Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. And wouldn’t you know it, there’s a familiar name at the top of the track averages standings…
