NASCAR Betting Trends – Tums QuickPak 500<\/h2>\n

While the NASCAR betting championship might be a foregone conclusion\u2014yes, Jimmie Johnson will win again\u2014that doesn\u2019t mean there\u2019s not plenty of NASCAR betting value on the board at BetUS.com this weekend. The good ol\u2019 boys will travel to the hotbed of Texas for this week\u2019s Dickies 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. And wouldn\u2019t you know it, there\u2019s a familiar name at the top of the track averages standings\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jimmie Johnson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not unlike most tracks, Jimmie has the best average finish at Texas Motor Speedway with a median of 8.5 in ten career starts here. Johnson\u2019s performance was one of the best driving performances in recent memory, and will remain in NASCAR betting lore for quite some time. Bettors were likely ready rip up their betting tickets midway through the race when Johnson was penalized for an illegal pit entry, driving too fast on pit road. No. 48 was relegated to the back of the field, and rendered out of contention. Or was he? Johnson then re-gained a lap with the help of a caution flag, and went on to finish second in the race. An incredible mad-dash to the front of the pack, and a tremendous momentum booster for this week. How can you bet against him?<\/p>\n

Carl Edwards<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve said it all season long, but poor Carl! What a fantastic season he had, overshadowed by Kyle Busch, and now an exceptional Chase, overshadowed by Jimmie Johnson. Carl\u2019s time will come, but before he moves on, he just might rack up another victory here at Texas. Edwards won here last spring, and is particularly adept on mile-and-a-half tracks. Be on the lookout for Carl this week!<\/p>\n

Jeff Burton<\/strong><\/p>\n

Burton will be driving with a purpose this week, after a wreck cost him what would have been a relatively strong finish. It\u2019s been a breakout season for him, finally moving into the upper echelon of drivers, and he\u2019d like nothing more than to solidify that claim with a late-season victory at Texas.<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Denny Hamlin<\/strong><\/p>\n

While his career hasn\u2019t been too long, Hamlin has had plenty of success on this track already, never finishing worse than tenth at Texas in six starts. Hamlin consistently has great equipment, and will certainly challenge for a championship next year, and for many seasons to come.<\/p>\n

Matt Kenseth<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Conservative needs a win, so he just might race hard this week! Kenseth knows how to stay near the front of the pack, but can he get up front and stay there? No. 17 hasn\u2019t won here since 2002, so we\u2019ll see if he can remember how to win again this week.<\/p>\n

Kurt Busch<\/strong><\/p>\n

The forgotten Busch this year is still a quality racer with good equipment. Sports betting odds will be stacked against him, so he could be a nice underdog play for a Top 10 or better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
