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 both Phoenix and Fontana within the last two weeks, he has 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 previous four (and 937 within the last six). Of course, whenever you have the favorite in +150 to triumph, so there’s some fantastic significance in betting others in case that man has issues during the race.

Last weekend at Car Club Speedway my favorite bets went 2-0, bringing my yearly record to 5-3. I had Brad Keselowski to finish top 3, and his afternoon went south early, so that has been screwed from the beginning.

Martin Truex, Jr.. Top 3 Finish (+200) — The races at Martinsville are usually predictable: we see 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 win if something goes wrong with the chief. Over the last 3 races in”The Paperclip,” Truex has posted finishes of 3rd, 4th, and 2nd, and even though he begins back into 8th for today’s STP 500, he’s got one hell of a race car under him for into the front. The #19 Toyota ranked #1 at 10-, 15-, 20-, and 30-lap average during the final practice session on Saturday, and there’s likely to be lots of runs during the race. Truex will really shine during those. If you study this week’s rankings by the Fantasy Racing Online algorithm, Truex is a very close 4th supporting Logano, and if you take a look at current trends by pole sitters from the spring Martinsville race, then I’d give that advantage to Truex.

Chris Buescher (+105) over Daniel Hemric — I’m really surprised Chris Buescher is not getting more adore this weekend. This #37 team has never finished worse than 18th since the Daytona 500, and they have got a good starting place for today’s STP 500 (12th). Meanwhile, Hemric will begin from back in 28th, and has a tendency to hit the wall more frequently than not. We’ve got 500 laps to race in the present STP 500, and to tell the truth, I’m not sure he ends. On the flip side, Buescher has finished 13th, 23rd, 21st, and 11th in his last four Martinsville starts, and he is running better than he has likely ever conducted. This one is really a no brainer for me.
