Bristol Sprint Cup Odds
Last week Kevin Harvick extended his lead in the Sprint Cup driver standings to nearly 300 points with a win in Michigan, and he also became the first driver to guarantee himself a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.

This Sunday, 43 NASCAR drivers will have to do something most of them aren’t used to: make a right turn. They’ll be at Watkins Glen for the second of just two road races on the Sprint Cup circuit, the Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at The Glen.
That means the NASCAR odds are skewed toward those drivers who have experience in IRL/Champ Car, Formula 1, and anywhere else with winding courses.
NASCAR takes its Sprint Cup Championship Tour to Fontana, CA for the Auto Club 500 this Sunday.
Matt Kenseth won the Daytona 500 last weekend and jumped to number one in the NASCAR Power Rankings, but some of the best drivers in the world could leapfrog him after a victory or good showing at Fontana.
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.
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.
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.
Lowe’s Motor Speedway – Bank Of America 500
It’s only been a week since we last looked at the NASCAR betting odds for this year’s Sprint Cup, but in those seven days a clear fave has emerged to win the championship.
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.
