Martinsville STP 500 NASCAR Betting Picks and Race Odds

The Dragon Energy NASCAR Cup Series is at Martinsville Speedway this weekend, also with Kyle Busch winning at Phoenix and Fontana within the last two weeks, he’s been set up as a heavy favorite for the STP 500 at”The Paperclip”–and for good reason: Rowdy hasn’t finished outside the top 5 at this track because the 2014 season, and he has led a joint 582 laps over the last four (and 937 within the previous six). Of course, when you have the preferred at +150 to win, so there is some great significance in gambling others in the event that guy has problems during the race.

Last weekend at Auto Club Speedway my favourite bets went 2-0, bringing my yearly record to 5-3. I had Brad Keselowski to complete top 3, along with his afternoon went south , so that has been screwed from the beginning.

Martin Truex, Jr.. Top 3 Finish (+200) — The races at Martinsville are generally predictable: we find the exact same faces up front again and again, and we don’t see Martin Truex, Jr. in victory lane. Where we do find him, though, is close enough to win if something goes wrong with the chief. Over the previous three races at”The Paperclip,” Truex has posted finishes of 3rd, 4th, and 2nd, although he begins back in 8th for the STP 500, he has one hell of a race car underneath him to get to the front. The #19 Toyota ranked #1 in 10-, 15-, 20-, and 30-lap average during the last practice session here on Saturday, and there’s going to be plenty of long runs throughout the race. Truex is really going to shine during these. When you look at this week’s ranks by the Fantasy Racing Online algorithm, Truex is a very close 4th supporting Logano, and if you take a look at recent trends by pole sitters from the spring Martinsville race, then I’d give that advantage to Truex.

Chris Buescher (+105) over Daniel Hemric — I am really surprised Chris Buescher is not getting more love this weekend. This #37 team hasn’t finished worse than 18th since the Daytona 500, plus they’ve got a good starting place for the current STP 500 (12th). Meanwhile, the Hemric will begin from back in 28th, and has a tendency to hit the wall more frequently than not. We have got 500 laps to race in today’s STP 500, and to be honest, I’m not sure he ends. On the flip side, Buescher has completed 13th, 23rd, 21st, and 11th in his past four Martinsville begins, and he’s running better than he has likely ever conducted. This is a no brainer for me.
