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…
There are only four races left and unless one of the most dominant figures in all of online sports betting somehow doesn’t suit up for the final races, it’s all over but the shouting.
While the rest of the BetUS online sportsbook world has been concentrating on the Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships, the NFL, and the MLB playoffs (for good reasons of course!), Jimmie Johnson has slowly dominated the Sprint Cup Chase.
Jeff Burton has five races in which to catch Jimmie Johnson. For online wagering fans that have placed a NASCAR online bet on Burton, things don’t look too good. Johnson was masterful last Saturday night when holding his second place position in the Bank of America 500.
That’s all you can hope to expect from Jimmie at this point. Burton won the race but Jimmie held serve.
Jimmie Johnson will be looking to make it four wins at Martinsville Speedway in the past five races on Sunday afternoon when he hits the track in the TUMS QuikPak 500. However, those that did any NASCAR betting on Johnson last weekend weren’t happy.
The series standings leader started from the top spot on the grid last time out in the Bank of America 500 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, but he then had to settle for a sixth-place result.
Here’s how the 12-driver field stands in championship points in the 2008 Chase for the Sprint Cup heading into Saturday evening’s Bank of America 500 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, starting at 7:40pm EST as postseason race 5-of-10.
Kyle Busch continued his dominantion of stock car racing and won the Camping World RV Service 300 presented by Coleman
Carl Edwards finished second and posted his sixth top-10 finish in eight races
Third was Brian Vickers posting his second top-10 finish
Nascar Sprint Cup Series continues tonight in Fontana | 7 p.m. ET Sun. | ESPN
Online NASCAR wagering fans will have the pleasure of enjoying one of the most storied races on the Sprint Cup schedule on Saturday. Yes, it will be a good ol’ fashioned night race! Under the lights just like the races daddy used to take you to. And indeed, experience and family ties will both play a key role in this week’s clash as we look at the six must-haves for Bristol!
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
As if you couldn’t pinpoint that segway before. His pops could sure race at Bristol, and he passed the genes down to No. 88! Junior has finished eleventh or better in each of his last ten races at Thunder Valley, and that’s unlikely to change this week. Another thing that runs in the family: A flare for the dramatic. What’s more dramatic than a night race at Bristol? The image itself just screams NASCAR! As long as he avoids a wreck, bettors should look for him to be in contention all night long.
Greg Biffle
Nobody has a better average finish at Bristol than the Biff (9.7). The No. 16 driver is the kind of no-nonsense, aggressive driver that is traditionally successful on short tracks. He also has six top tens in his last seven starts here, and true to his style, he’s not going to take his foot off the gas this week! Biffle should offer some nice value for a racer that is a very legitimate threat in this race.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series heads to Michigan for racing at the two- mile Michigan International Speedway. The 3M Performance 400 From Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, MI.
Just 148 points currently separate sixth-place Jeff Gordon from 13th-place Clint Bowyer. Kurt Busch won last year’s 3M Performance 400 at Michigan. After two days of rain delays, Busch went on to lead a race-high 92 laps and then held off Martin Truex, Jr. at the finish by a half-second. It was his second victory of the season and the 17th of his career.
