The Dragon Energy NASCAR Cup Series is at Martinsville Speedway this weekend, also with Kyle Busch winning at Phoenix and Fontana over the last two weeks, he has been set up as a heavy favorite for today’s STP 500 in”The Paperclip”–and for good reason: Rowdy has not 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 last six). Of course, whenever you have the preferred at +150 to win, so there’s some great value in gambling others in the event that man has issues throughout the race.
Last weekend in Auto Club Speedway my favorite bets went 2-0, bringing my yearly record to 5-3. I’d Brad Keselowski to complete top 3, along with his afternoon went south early, so that has been screwed from the beginning.

Martin Truex, Jr.. Top 3 Finish (+200) — The races in Martinsville are usually predictable: we find the same faces up front time and time again, and we don’t see Martin Truex, Jr. in victory lane. Where we do see him, though, is close enough to acquire in case something goes wrong with the leader. Over the last 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’s got one hell of a race car underneath him to get into the front. The 19 Toyota ranked #1 in 10-, 15-, 20-, and 30-lap average during the final practice session on Saturday, and there’s going to be plenty of runs throughout the race. Truex is really going to shine during those. When you study this week’s rankings by the Fantasy Racing On line algorithm, Truex is a really close 4th behind Logano, and if you take a look at current trends by pole sitters in the spring Martinsville race, then I’d give that advantage to Truex.
Chris Buescher (+105) over Daniel Hemric — I’m honestly surprised Chris Buescher isn’t becoming more adore this weekend. This #37 team has never finished worse than 18th since the Daytona 500, plus they have got a great starting place for today’s STP 500 (12th). Meanwhile, the Hemric will start from back in 28th, and has a tendency to hit the wall more frequently than not. We’ve got 500 laps to race in today’s STP 500, and to be honest, I am not sure he ends. On the other hand, Buescher has completed 13th, 23rd, 21st, and 11th in his past four Martinsville begins, and he is running better than he has likely ever ran. This one is really a no brainer for me.
